Thrasher feels like a psychedelic cross between Fruit Ninja Kinect and Child of Eden


Ian Higton puts his face deep inside Thrasher VR gameplay on the Meta Quest 3 on this week's VR Corner

There's not a huge amount of variety to the first three zones at least, but the colours are bold and bright and everything looks lovely and sharp inside the headset.Just like Thumper, the control scheme for Thrasher is fairly simple. It's a nice gameplay loop, and a lovely, easy control scheme that'll make the game fully accessible to both veteran players and complete VR newcomers but, at the same time, it never felt as compelling to me as Thumper did. The boss fights in Thrasher feel rather underwhelming and, while the music is atmospheric enough, I felt myself missing Thumper's immense, adrenaline and anxiety inducing audio.
