Paste Magazine - Garrett Martin - 10 / 10.0
Pac-Man, Dark Souls, the best Metroids and Marios and Zeldas—the true classics, the cornerstones of the medium that have made an indelible impact on how we play and think about games. Thumper is right up there alongside them. It is an essentially perfect realization of its own unique goals and concerns, and a game we’ll be playing and celebrating for decades, even if it leaves us afraid and confused.
Destructoid - Jordan Devore - 8 / 10.0
I'd still recommend Thumper, though. Readily. But I would also advise not to get too wrapped up in fully finishing it. This road is long and winding and brutal. It might just drive you mad.
Game Informer - Jeff Cork - 5.8 / 10.0
Steer a metallic beetle down a fast-moving track, avoiding obstacles and collecting doodads along the way
Gamerheadquarters - Jason Stettner - 9 / 10.0
Thumper is an absolute blast providing a nightmarish world filled with a desire for speed and brutal music based obstacles to maneuver through.
GameSpot - Peter Brown - 9 / 10
Thumper's unrelenting speed and menacing percussion are overwhelming, seeping into your subconscious in the best way possible.
God is a Geek - Chris White - 9 / 10.0
You’ll spend ages playing through the different levels and adore every single step. The music is great, the visuals are better and everything comes together perfectly.
IGN - Chloi Rad - 9 / 10.0
Thumper’s brutal, breakneck speed and precision-based musical action kept me entranced for all nine of its bizarre, nightmarish stages, which contained enough nuanced high score-chasing tricks to demand several replays already. To really master Thumper’s many layers of rhythm-based mechanisms would take much more time than the 10 or so hours it takes to complete the first time – and that’s a challenge that I eagerly accept.
