Unlocking every table cost me I've spent hours playing already, mostly trying to crack the secrets of enormously high Twilight Zone scores and wondering how long it'd take for Black Knight's sound effects to murder my ears. They're all relatively minor complaints given how strong the package is. The table packs aren't cheap and I'd prefer for all the available functions to be included in a single purchase.

For selected tables, these allow access to the operator's menu, pro tips and full table exploration. Quibble #5: Pro versions of tables cost extra. They're simple, have strong themes and allow for enormous scores, with almost every flip of the ball hitting something that lights up or makes a noise. Medieval Madness and Attack From Mars are both available to buy, and they're the tables I'd used to introduce somebody to pinball.
One of Brian Eddy's mid-nineties spectacles might have been a better demo machine. Quibble #3: Tales of the Arabian Nights is a great table but it can seem unreasonably harsh, with near misses often resulting in a lost ball. They're decent enough and the viewpoint can be fixed into position, but there are times when features at the top of certain tables are obscured. There is an option to make DLC invisible though, right? This qualifies as a quibble because it's impossible to see prices from the front page of Steam and probably means Pinball Arcade paid content can't be included in Steam sales. As far as I can tell, that wasn't Farsight's choice and they'd prepared the content to sell as DLC through the Steam Store, where it would be plainly visible and available to purchase as gifts, but the Powers That Be thought that the quantity of DLC, released all at once, would clog up the front of the store page. Quibble #1: Tables can only be purchased in-game, using Steam Wallet credit. However, I do have some quibbles and they are below.
It's like owning a lovely digital museum. I've tried every table and while there are some camera issues, where I've also played the physical counterpart, I've found the actual recreations hugely impressive. Tables can also be bought in packs of two.

The free download contains one table, Tales of the Arabian Nights, and there are two season packs available for purchase, with more to come.
Pinball tables were among the games that made me and the Arcade contains some of my favourites, so I'll write more about this soon. Earlier this week, the Pinball Arcade finally landed on my PC, via the medium of Steam.
