The finest pinball game on the market is, without doubt, Pinball FX. A free opener that leads to table subscriptions, if you're looking to ping some balls, Pinball FX allows for it. Today a new voyage awaits with the arrival of the Williams Pinball: Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Given the steep price point at just under a tenner, it’s hard to recommend the Williams Pinball: Twilight Zone table for Pinball FX to anyone except ardent fans of the TV show or those with love for the classic machines.
If you’ve been picking up these additional table packs for Pinball FX3 as and when they release this is a solid addition to the collection. If, however, you are a pinball dabbler, there may be one or two better licensed packs more up your street than this one.
Zen Studios have delivered us pinball tables based on Star Wars, Jurassic World and many more franchises over the years. But in recent times it's been all about the classics, providing players with the opportunity to take in some of the most authentic Williams and Bally tables. And that is where Pinball FX3 - Williams Pinball: Volume 6 comes in, dropping another three iconic options to pinball players around the globe.
Following on from the Williams and Bally licence acquisition for Zen Studios from FarSight Studios, steadily released content packs have been arriving in Pinball FX3 based on real world tables. This latest addition - that of Williams Pinball: Volume 5 on Xbox One - features three classics: Tales of the Arabian Nights, Cirqus Voltaire and No Good Gofers.
There are many pinball experiences available throughout the gaming world, but the very best have come from the fair hands of Zen Studios, with Pinball FX3 providing the ultimate ball-pinging tests. And today that test increases once more with yet another new bundle of old school pinball delights arriving in the Williams Pinball: Volume 5 content drop.
There’s no doubt that the different Williams Pinball Volumes released so far have been pretty damn decent, but can the latest monstrous pack - Williams Pinball: Universal Monsters - raise the stakes and be one to howl about from the rooftops?
The kings of pinball are most certainly Zen Studios, and after providing a pretty stunning base experience with Pinball FX3, have further pushed the boundaries with multiple DLC packs since. A good few of those have come featuring some classic Williams Pinball tables, and that number is soon due to expand, by two, with the arrival of the Williams Pinball: Universal Monsters Pack.
Next up for a deep-dive look back into games from yesteryear is that of Williams Pinball Classics, known as Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection in the US to clear up any confusion.
