  The honest true is that all of the flavour and thematic changes is wall paper. In practice, each tables plays in basically the same fashion, regardless of its stylings. The tables aren’t bad, but they don’t stand out as exceptional. These tables are functional and if you’re itching for new ones you could definitely do worse, though that is assuming you already have Zen Pinball.

  While the Skyrim one was my least favorite of the bunch, it’s not a bad table by any means. It has some great ideas and many of them work. The Fallout and DOOM ones are really fun to play as well and each offers up something unique for the entire package. Expect a little more out of your pinball, and it just so happens The Bethesda pack has it. Any fan of pinball will have a great time with these and even some fans of RPG will get a little out of them. It really is an interesting bunch of tables that any Zen Pinball fan should add to their library.

  Bethesda Pinball is a good example of how to create a twist on a classic formula. The attempt to inject some RPG elements into the game is generally quite successful though not without issue. However, lovers of pinball and indeed Bethesda titles will find a lot to like, and will easily be able to sink a lot of time into each board to rack up those high scores.

  The RPG elements thrown in for the two role-playing tables sounded great, though they rarely impact or cause any real fundamental changes to the pinball formula, which kind of renders the entire character creation and role-playing elements as pointless. All that aside, this latest trilogy pack from Zen Studios is a blast to play, and is a worthy addition for pinball enthusiasts.
