The overall fun on offer in Pinball FX3 really depends on the amount of coin dropped. Certain tables are made free from time to time, but in order to experience the entire package, purchases must be made. Digital pinball fans will likely lap up the amount of content on offer, whereas those who are testing the waters might find the purchase of a single table or package is enough to sustain them for a prolonged period. The developer’s decision to stick with the existing DLC model means the player can select exactly which tables they want to play and completely ignore any that perhaps do not appeal to them. The choice on the level of investment in this game really does rest on the player.

Anyone who is in the mood for a fun arcade take on the classic pinball genre will most certainly get the satisfaction they are seeking from Zen Studio’s latest release. Even if it doesn’t necessarily revolutionise the series, it still expands on it. In some cases it is hard to enhance given the source material. It has all the necessities including global leaderboards, multiplayer action and fills each table with enough content to justify purchases – including challenges and a levelling system. With the game free to try out, there’s no harm in downloading it and taking a look at what the definitive pinball experience on the market offers.

This is a rock-solid pinball collection with lots of engaging tables, tons of options, and loads of fun for wizards and casual fans alike. However, publisher and developer Zen Studios has more or less replaced it with the similarly-named Pinball FX (2023), which contains many of the same tables and some new options, while offering similar performance and improved online leaderboards. I'd stick with Pinball FX instead of Pinball FX 3 if you don't have either game yet.
