(Ok, sometimes it’s 1 table for £3.99, but mostly 2)Īnd you get the PS3 and Vita versions for that price. The prices for the Pinball Arcade tables aren’t that steep, are they? £3.99 for each pack of 2 tables. Pinball Arcade is set for release on 29th November on PS4, but is already available on PS3, PS Vita, Xbox 360, 3DS, Wii U, PC, iOS and Android. I wouldn’t begrudge them charging what they want, but the manner in which this is presented is overwhelming and intrusive. It’s a shame really, because this feels like it spoils an otherwise fantastically faithful, accurate and fun pinball machine simulator.

This allows you to play those initial few tables in full or free play on the other Season 1 tables, but this now pushes you to buy table packs or season packs at steep-feeling prices. These are presented in a long list of “Season 1” tables, many of which are not free to play, and upon selecting any of these you’re pushed towards paying a few quid to buy the game. This is still going to be quite a niche title, and I can accept that prices may be fairly high as a result, but the game features paywalls and reminders at almost every turn.ĭownloading the game lets your play a handful of tables for free, until you hit a high score. The only problem I have with this is the complexity and cost of the entire game. It’s not just about a physics engine, but a digital facsimile of the table in every regard, from the individual parts and textures to lights and emulators to run the exact same ROM which powered the original machines. The process through which they recreate each table is also quite fascinating, as they strive to absolutely perfect everything they do. Notably the Twilight Zone, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Terminator 2 all went down this path, as they push to continue expanding the line up for people to choose from. There’s a lot of tables on offer too, with a selection from Gottlieb, Stern, Williams and Bally all available, which span the ages.Īs part of the complex process of licensing these tables, FarSight have, on several occasions, taken to Kickstarter to fund and publicise major deals. So with Pinball Arcade, it’s easy to see the appeal of having all these classic machines recreated digitally, and playable whenever they take your fancy. The fascination with and love for pinball is still just as strong as ever. I’ve personally never quite got into playing pinball machines too much, but it was lovely to see the long row of unlocked and free to play classic machines at Eurogamer Expo last month, and find that some machines even seemed to hold a queue of people wanting to play. FarSight Studios already released this last year for PlayStation 3 and Vita, it’s an absolute simulation of what feels like countless classic pinball machines. Pinball Arcade sees a more recent classic making the hop across generations. That’s PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox 360, 3DS and PC. Putty Squad is set for release on 29th November on all of its platforms.

Completing certain tasks within levels will earn you stickers, and then by completing a double page, that will allow you to download one of the additional map releases for free, as they arrive on a fortnightly basis. All in all, and forgiving more unfamiliarity this game was really hard to master with so many ideas and elements to try and keep track of.Īugmenting the game is a rather generous sticker book, which allows you to get a hold of more levels for free. The levels too are rather complex, with tons of pick ups to find, putties to collect, green cheeses to warp through. There are pick ups which will augment your regular punches, let you drop bombs, let you summon a cat to jump up and down on, and so on. Moving around is easy enough for the basics, but then you have the ability to stretch out to latch onto and pull yourself up to platforms above, below, left right, or you can inflate yourself and float up.
