Quantic Pinball

I also played Babylon 2055 Pinball, both of these games are nearly indetical so I'm going to review just this one. For context, the last pinball game I ever played was that thing on windows xp. I have no clue how these games are supposed to work, I somehow managed to beat this one though. I unlocked all the levels, I consider it to be the finish line and I refuse to elaborate further. There are achievements you can try to get but I quite frankly don't have the balls or patience to do it. For less than a euro, it ain't bad. You'll have fun playing for about an hour or two depending on your playstyle.

Cute colorful 2D pinball game with plenty of multi-balls and effects such as magnetism and warp. Tables are visually homogeneous and the one electro music track is OK. Table objectives are all the same in that you need to light lights on the board to open a gate and then escape off the table. Steam integration cloud, achievements, trading cards and steam leaderboards round out a good effort.

[b]Quantic Pinball[/b] definitely doesn't live up to the main selling points on the store page: "One of the most addictive pinball game ever seen" [i][sic][/i] It's one of the worst pinball games I've played. When launching you're presented with fullscreen mode or window. Fullscreen uses a strange resolution on both of my computers. There are no resolution options! Window opens the game in a tiny window that cannot be resized. Several players in the forum talk about not even being able to launch the game due to DX9 errors or dpi-scaling issues. Gameplay feels like a cheap mobile phone title, it didn't feel anything like "non-stop arcade action" and ball movement didn't match the touted "incredibly realistic physics". I'm refunding this title.

Мертвый порт с кучей критических багов. Настройки экрана отсутствуют, физика ужасна, а локализация полностью игнорирует русский язык.

Much the same as Babylon and Zombie Pinball, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but with the added frustration of inconsistent achievement unlocks. I have accomplished all of the requirements that I've still yet to unlock -- Epsilon, Zeta, Easier, and Kill Them All, but they are VERY conditional or inefficiently programmed.

e Update July 14th/15th: Sorry, let me elaborate. The game initially would not load at all. I had to do a bit of digging and research to find and properly install the needed DirectX 9.0c package(s), on Windows 10. Before I could be bothered to test whether that fix actually worked, I went ahead and tried the game on Steam Deck LCD instead. Worked like a charm, and I even earned a few achievements, except I noticed the balls would oftentimes appear to jitter mid-movement. The physics seem slightly off. The space invaders board-mode is sometimes hard to parse--the buggers blended into the background/table too much in some spots. And on top of all that, everything other than the pinball table paddles is very laggy and unresponsive--menu navigation and selection, pausing, unpausing, etc. Kind of annoying. A day or two later, I finally try it out on Windows 10 again. It works... Except this time I finish the Gamma table, without being awarded the corresponding Steam Achievement. I am currently very tempted to refund, even if it was only a dollar or two. There are so many superior pinball games on Steam and in my library already that even if it was worth that minuscule amount of money, it wouldn't be worth any amount of time. EDIT: Looks like I got it on Fanatical, so no refund for me afterall. Oh well. Hopefully I find a way to un-bug the achievement(s) at least. In particular, I highly recommend you play Pinball Deluxe Reloaded and Yoku's Island Express instead.

Please update. This game could be fun if the flippers actually made the balls travel up. Current physics make the balls too heavy and the flipper power weak. It's unplayable. I had to refund but will buy again if the dev makes improvements.

Pinball game that feels like the one that came with Windows way back. There are couple of nice gimmicks that I haven't seen before in pinball games. However, every table has similar color scheme, so they feel repeatative. When first playing, all but table is locked. To unlock new tables requires either ten tries on previous table or completing a table. Completing the table can be troublesome, because the goal is not always clearly intigated. Music tracks are also nice, but too repeatative.

Not bad for an original Pinball game. The mini-games for the tables is quite interesting. All tables is based on the same theme and only has 1 soundtrack. If you have a 4K display, it will not cover full screen. No Tate mode. Theres no settings available except turning music off. Missing a lot of standard configurations and features that you would expect from any game. I got this for $1 but I wouldnt pay the full asking price unless Dev adds standard quality of life features. This game was released in 2017 and games from the 90s got more features than this. For what its worth, I did enjoy the game itself and what is has to offer and creative gameplay mechanics. If you like Pinball get it on sale.
