A big thank you to Sony for this gift!
I received a message from Sony last week inviting me to claim a free $5 credit voucher to use towards any purchase at the PlayStation Store.
It was very easy to redeem. I simply logged into my account on my PlayStation 5, headed over to the store, and found the banner to redeem the voucher.
After I received confirmation that this voucher was applied to my account, I used it towards upgrading my PlayStation 4 version of Thumper to a version that's also compatible with the PlayStation 5 (including the PlayStation VR 2). Since this upgrade cost $4.99, I only needed to pay sales tax.
What's ironic is that when I attempted to play this game, I discovered the batteries in my PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers are very low.
This game looks incredible on the PSVR2. It features razor-sharp clarity in 4K HDR at an ultra-smooth 120Hz. The OLED panels deliver perfect blacks and vibrant colors, and the headset haptics intensify the rhythm of violence. Here's an in-depth review of this version:
This game is a wild ride that takes about 8 hours to complete. I typically played the original version in 15-minute bursts, which adds up to around 32 sessions.
