Luckily, most of the Pinball games released for PS4 and Xbox One have been very good. I have compiled a ranked list of the best pinball games available for both consoles along with information about differences of each game and my personal favorite tables. I know Pinball is not the most popular video game genre to write about, but I personally loved playing the arcade machines when I was a teen and now I have grown to love the HD pinball simulators created for video game consoles.

Marvel Pinball: Epic collection Vol. 1 physical copy includes the top 10 best Marvel Pinball tables from Pinball FX3. All the tables in this collection are very colorful, based on superhero and villains. Every table has its own interactions and character themes. It’s a nice collection if you are a Marvel fan and love pinball. Being part of the Pinball FX3 series ensure great graphics and pinball physics. My personal three favorite tables in this collection are Venom, Marvel’s The Avengers, and Doctor Strange. Love the set pieces and layouts of these tables.

Stern Pinball Arcade is a collection that features the best Stern tables from Pinball Arcade along with 3 exclusives tables. The exclusives tables included are Mustang, AC/DC and Star Trek Enterprise Limited Edition. Originally the AC/DC table was part of a Kickstarter campaign that failed. It was later resurrected and announced in this collection. The entire collection is pretty solid, especially if you like Stern classic pinball machines.

2. Pinball FX3

Pinball FX3 has tons of awesomely themed tables based on other video games, movies, Marvel, Star Wars, TV Shows and more. The graphics, themes, physics, and layouts of each table are unique and of high quality. It’s cool playing a Jaws movie themed table then later playing a Doom game table. The themes provide a lot of variety, so as long as you like Pinball you should be able to find a theme to play. My personal favorite tables are Doom, Family Guy, Bobs Burger, and Venom. I like those tables partially because of there theme and because of there layouts. I noticed with Pinball FX3 everyone has there favorite tables to play. Just log into the digital stores and find some tables that interests you, most of them are at least decent to great.

Pinball Arcade is by far the best pinball simulator available for PS4 and Xbox One. Pinball Arcade provides a growing library of tables, based on real-life pinball machines split up in season packs. As of right now, there are 7 seasons released, with over 96 tables available. The graphics and pinball physics are unmatched compared to any other Pinball game. Each virtual table captures every fine detail of the original machines. The looks, scoreboards, angles, and even tilt are executed almost perfectly. My personal favorite tables are Medieval Madness, The Twilight Zone, Attack from Mars and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. If you are looking for a realistic pinball simulation experience over any other factor, this is the game to play.
