Of course, if you’re not willing to splash a bit of cash on Zen Pinball 2 then you’re going to have a somewhat limited experience. Intricate backboards, themed table components and even moving 3D models all come together to form pinball tables that would feel at home on board a spaceship. There’s great fun to be had in exploring all the tables you own in an attempt to discover everything they have hidden. Each table features various missions (or whatever the table theme calls them), which encourage the player to perform certain actions with the reward of big bonus points. The fact that these tables don’t rely on real-world examples means Zen Studios can go to town creating their own bizarre tables that would probably be impossible in reality. The tables feature various slots, alleys, flippers, lights, sounds and all the other elements that make up a pinball table. Zen Pinball 2 is essentially an elaborate version of that little Windows game. In all likelihood, most people have either played a physical pinball game before in their lives, or failing that the pinball game on Windows.

But what of the PS4 players who, with a somewhat limited library of games to choose from, fancy trying their hand at virtual pinball for the first time? You’ll be glad to hear that Zen Pinball 2 is a brilliant game to pick up and play, even as a pinball amateur. For those who enjoy the PS3 game, that’s probably an upside rather than a negative point, the ‘don’t fix what ain’t broke’ technique clearly coming into play.

The game itself is more or less unchanged from the PS3 version only now the tables look a little crisper and the lights a little more vibrant when presented in 1080p 60fps. This table is a good choice for the free option as it’s relatively simple, yet packed with extra features like mini-games and bonus triggers. At launch however, Zen Studios is offering their Sorcerer’s Lair table for free, so any PS4 player can give it a go. With this base system installed you can, from there, purchase and download new tables from a choice of 19, each of them costing around £1.99 or a little more for packs.

The base game, which includes a grand total of zero tables, is available for free on PSN. Zen Studios have therefore had a lot of time to perfect their game, making this one of the best pinball titles they’ve ever made.įirst, it’s probably best to clarify how buying Zen Pinball 2 actually works, as it is a little unusual. Zen Pinball 2 on PS4 has a long lineage from the same game on PS3 and PS Vita, all the way back to Pinball FX2 on Xbox 360 and PC. Still, pinball is great, and the videogame versions have always done a decent job of making them accessible from players’ living rooms. Playing a virtual callback to the arcade classic on a brand new games console feels a little odd like playing an electric lute in a punk rock band (probably).
