The main pros of the game

  • Variety of Tables: The game features a wide selection of tables, including classic Williams/Bally tables and original Zen creations, providing diversity in gameplay.
  • Improved Physics: Many users noted that the physics engine has been improved compared to previous versions, making the ball behavior feel more realistic on certain tables.
  • Visuals and Graphics: The game is praised for its detailed graphics and effects, particularly on high-end hardware, including ray tracing capabilities.
  • Engaging Gameplay: Users enjoy the challenges and missions associated with different tables, contributing to replayability and engagement.
  • Frequent Sales: Many tables go on sale, making it easier to acquire them at a reasonable price.

The main cons of the game

  • Aggressive Monetization: Users are frustrated with the need to repurchase tables from previous versions (FX3) at full price or with limited discounts, which many consider a cash grab.
  • Server Dependency: The game requires an online connection to access purchased tables, leading to concerns about losing access if servers go offline.
  • Input Lag and Performance Issues: Several reviews mention input lag and performance problems, particularly on lower-end systems or when settings exceed 60 FPS.
  • User Interface Issues: The menu and hub system are criticized for being cumbersome and not user-friendly, especially without a gamepad.
  • Lack of Realism: Many users feel that the ball physics do not accurately reflect real-life pinball, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Table Carry-Over: A significant complaint is the inability to transfer tables from FX3, which many players feel should have been honored.
  • VR Support: Users expressed disappointment over the lack of VR support, which was available in earlier versions.
  • Customization Options: There is a call for more customization in the virtual pinball room (Pinhall) and the ability to adjust nudge strength and other settings.
  • Improved User Controls: Players want better control over nudging and flipper mechanics, as well as the ability to adjust the physics settings more intuitively.
  • More Frequent Content Updates: Users desire a more consistent release of new tables and features to keep the game fresh and engaging.

Summary

  • Overall, while Pinball FX offers an engaging experience for pinball enthusiasts with its variety of tables and improved physics, it faces significant criticism regarding its monetization practices, server dependency, and some gameplay mechanics that detract from the overall experience.
