Initially the game didn’t even ****-out your password on entry, leaving it in plaintext for anyone looking over your shoulder to read, but thankfully that was one of the fixes in the first patch. While the tables themselves seem fine, everything involving the user interface is wrong. Stern Pinball Arcade on PC is not the game it’s going to be, and definitely not on par with the console release. As it turns out, however, there’s a good reason to pass on Stern Pinball Arcade for now, and it’s probably tied directly in to why the PC version just popped into existence without a single announcement. It doesn’t seem likely that those will remain the two freebies, seeing as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is not only the other free table but also available for purchase, but for the grand total of $0 that’s a hard deal to resist. Like the console release the game is “free to play”, but the PC version actually comes with two tables unlocked instead of one, and the second was my favorite from the review, Ford Mustang. The PC release was some undisclosed time in the future, and as it turns out the future was a couple days ago a day after the start of the Steam Holiday Sale on December 23. While much of the table selection was reruns from The Pinball Arcade, there were some great new ones in the collection and the old machines had never looked better, so it was an easy recommendation. Stern Pinball Arcade came out on PS4 and Xbox One a few weeks back and it was great.
