Critic Reviews for Pinball FX - Bethesda Pinball
The Bethesda Pinball pack is an odd proposition. The tables are spectacular looking and all the little touches and gameplay twists are ambitious and creative in a way I really enjoy thinking about. But, both the Skyrim and Fallout tables are held back by small annoyances and wonky design choices that just make them less fun to play than they should be. Doom ended up being my favorite of the pack, which in a way is disappointing since it is also the most traditional of the tables offered. Maybe I'm just a pinball purist. Or maybe that pinball devil has a hold on me.
This is a pack for both pinball enthusiasts and Bethesda fans; one or the other is not enough.
Overall, the Bethesda Pinball DLC is an excellent pack of tables.
It really is an interesting bunch of tables that any Zen Pinball fan should add to their library.
The tables in the Pinball FX3 Bethesda Pack are all pretty solid, though they can get complicated at times, namely the Skyrim and Fallout tables. While those two contain RPG-style elements to them to match up to their original video game counterparts, the Doom table is more of a traditional pinball table, though all three do have missions and quests to complete. Overall, eleven dollars for these three tables is a pretty good deal, especially given how complex Fallout and Skyrim can be.
Bethesda Pinball is dedicated not only to the fan of Bethesda�s games like DOOM, Skyrim or Fallout, but also to every player who loves the Zen Studios� series.

The Bethesda Pack for Pinball FX3 adds another set of three great pinball tables to the already vast lineup. The tables are creatively designed and the similarities to their respective games is amazing. The methods of completing missions can be complicated, but at the same time, that adds to the depth. Taking the time to explore all three worlds is definitely worth it.
The tables of Bethesda Pinball have great presentation, but the majority of the action is spent doing things that don't feel arcadey. The lack of focus on gameplay makes the tables feel too gimmicky to be playable for more than a few sessions.
