Thumper
Spare a thought for Thumper’s chrome beetle, unstoppably hurtling along a single track at face melting speed, shimmying, and swerving in slabs of brutal physicality. Defined by developer Drool as rhythm violence, mastering Thumper requires perfectly timed braces and jumps in needle sharp precision to the pulsating soundtrack. Against the backdrop of blistering speed and brutality though, Thumper is capable of plunging players into serene, almost zen-like flow states. The abrasive clang of its industrial music syncs in rhythm to every button press. Thumper gets you in the zone like no other game can.
