Pinball is such a blast to play. I really found my new love in pinball, learning new tables feels like a whole new game experience, I barely touched upon a few but I can’t wait to spend more time on this one. I would highly recommend since the first free table brings quality to test your devotion to virtual pinball. I wish they wold release a physical ^-^
a good platform for a variety of machines. mostly wanted it for some of the licensed properties, but their OG tables are cool too. On some sales it can get pretty reasonably priced, but there are a few free ones too.
Pinball :D
I obtained Pinball FX 3 for free from the PlayStation Store. However, I only played it once and don't remember anything about the game, which suggests that it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. I guess it was nothing special.
FX's schtick is that their tables are fully digital original creations allowing for some unusual ball movement, rendered characters to wander around the table, and the table itself to transform with elaborate animations and pieces adding to the usual pinball experience. The tables aren't for everyone, but they are a lot more engaging and dynamic - albeit in obvious and unimaginative ways.
I picked up a handful of different tables to try out and while the default FX ones are serviceable, the real effort has clearly gone into the licensed tables. I was surprised just how intricate some were - such as the Fallout table that lets you make a character, has an inventory and currency, and features a variety of missions and faction quests to explore as you play. Similarly the Back to the Future table's parts and mini-games adjust depending on which time you end up playing in. It isn't a perfect formula however as there were many tables (the Balls of Glory pack especially) that just didn't work for me - just a lot of lazy references and generic gameplay.
As much as I do enjoy the gimmicks and mechanics on these tables, my feeling is that they are aimed more at pinball lovers than fans of any given IP. They could go way further with these ideas, have the table itself morph and change, add more layers and depth, but they clearly want this to be pinball+. The old game with sci-fi looking tables. It works for what it is and makes for a different style of play compared to old school boards, but being aimed at a niche audience makes the result an acquired taste.
