If you are a fan of pinball then give this a try.
The free tables are good enough to decide if you like the mechanics or not.
The DLC content is reasonably priced. Like with real life pinballs favourite tables will come down to personal preference.
Most of the tables I've purchased I like. Some table designs are better than others.

I originally purchased this bundled with a bunch of other games. When I first played it I used a keyboard and I just didn't care for it. Then I read some reviews and plugged in a controller with feedback. I immediately returned and bought the full bundle to get more tables. Now I have all but a few tables. I love this game. It's an arcade on my PC. Sure it's not real pinball but this is it's own thing. It's got all of the tricks in it and it tweaks in a way to make the game quite interesting. Dare I say I prefer this to real pinball.

First, I want to say that this is not a pinball simulator. As far as I know, none of the tables are modeled from physical tables, and many of the effects, toys, and ball behavior would be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate on a physical machine. Also, the physics engine seems to be the first to suffer when the program is running slow, which can be annoying.

All that being said, I really love these tables. Each feels very unique, but there's enough carried over from one design to the next that learning one helps improve your skill on many more of them. The graphics and characters are fun, the voice acting is usually quite good, and many of them have a surprisingly nice story flow. Having even just a few tables gives you a really nice set of choices. I have 33 tables, and I would say most feel completely unique from the others. The physics on some of the tables can be a bit wonky, but as long as the program is running well, the physics is consistant and I had no trouble getting used to the occasionally strange ball behavior.

Best pinball on the market. Read the reviews before buying tables because some are much better then others, but the core game is great.

Awesome tables, great graphics and sounds, endless cheap fun. If you like pinball this should be in your library.

I got the star wars table package on sale suring steam summer sale for i think about $14AU? was worth it, I love pinball IRL and these games are great, good sound, funny little animation cut scene thingies. If you like marvel, star wars or any of the other tables featured, mark that ♥♥♥♥ as wishlisted and get them on sale. As for full price? I don't know what paying full price is, cos i'm cheap.
