Fun pinball with a nice variety of tables. I am at a complete loss to explain all the hateful comments and ratings. Some are absurd. One person said you can't control the speed of the ball at launch. So what? If that's a deal-killer for you, ask for a refund and only buy tables which offer this feature. Don't write a nasty review. I love pinball and own almost every table available on Steam. I set up a game room in my home with a 55 inch UHD TV and X-Box controller. There are many tables "better" than these, which also cost more. There are tables not as good which cost more. If you buy something and don't like it just drop the drama, get a refund and move on. To quote Bart Simpson: "Don't have a cow, man."
Hot Pinball Thrills is a set of three pinball tables laid out on an ancient pinball simulator. The release date says 2015 but the game seems much older than that. While you get 4K support, the game assets are so low poly and the textures so low resolution that this still somehow looks like it's running at 640x480 or something. You can even see the edges of the polys on the ball!
Likewise, choosing 4K resolution doesn't help the aspect ratio for the game... it looks squashed somehow, like it's 4:3 stretched (it may very well be). This game just doesn't look right on modern displays.
Putting the substandard visuals aside, the gameplay is equally poor... the pinball physics are just off. The ball will bounce at angles you don't expect. It bounces a little too high and too fast. Catching and trapping the ball is equally ineptly done and just doesn't feel right or play right.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
Hot Pinball Thrills is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. There's free pinball sims on Steam that are higher quality than this, so if pinball emulation is your thing, look elsewhere.
Possibly one of the worst pinball games ever made.
Physics are so floaty it seems as if you're playing on the Moon or underwater.
The ball loves to clip through the bumpers or flippers.
The designs don't look like an actual table at all while playing, with elements clipping outside the frame.
Sound effects are virtually non existent, all the same for all three tables including the same recycled voice effects.
And the only "HOT"ness is the girl art which you can see in the screenshots for free.
Avoid at all costs. This isn't even funny as a joke game.
NO WAY...NO FINESSE..NO FREE GAME TARGET
Full disclosure: I got this game in the Triple Pack for $2.99 USD for the pack, so roughly .99 cents USD for this game. And honestly, it has all the bells and whistles I was hoping for, and a few I didn't expect. You can turn off the vertical sync for a much better playing experience, and even on my old rig it ran just fine with the prettiest graphics.
Each table has a slightly risque theme such as a car wash, beach or the Moulin Rouge. Each also has it's own gimmick like a ball grabber or sub table like in the car wash. It took some figuring out, but I was able to get the camera to follow the ball which helped greatly.
The tables did feel a bit lifeless until I turned that vertical sync off, but after that, they played as well as some other tables in my collection. Overall, a fun title and I'd totally recommend snapping up the Triple pack.
If you are already familiar with the big 5 pinball games, then you can also get this one. How did you even get here if you are just considering getting your first pinball game? you would be way out of the beaten path and you should just get back to the main pinball games out there. Get this game only if you are a niche pinball game collector or if you rather play a slow paced pinball. It does the job. These tables offer a slow paced game for the most part. It is an enjoyable game overall. it is a relaxing game not to be taken seriously. These tables are challenging enough.
Too many salty people in Steam complaining way too much. It is a very cheap game to add to your already established pinball collection for a casual play. Just have fun!
I'm just here so that someone is kind enough to give me a profile award :(
A FUN EASY PINBALL GAME WITH SEXY GIRLS FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT BE ABLE ENJOY A LOT OF PINBALL GAMES BUT CAN'T BECAUSE MOST ARE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR HARD CORE GAMERS. WITH MOST MODERN PINBALL TABLES THE BALL MOVES SO FAST THE CASUAL TO SEMI-CASUAL PLAYERS WHO LIKE PLAYING PINBALL JUST AS MUCH OFTEN WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP BALLS IN PLAY VERY LONG. THE BALL WILL RUN OFF AND BE LOST EVEN IF THEY HIT IT OR THE BALL WILL GO TO FAST TO BE HIT PERIOD. THE 3 OR 5 BALL LIMITATION ON TOP OF THIS THE ADS UP TO GAMES ENDING VERY 1-2 MINUTES AND THE PLAYER NOT REALLY BEING ABLE TO PLAY IT. THE SLOWER SPEED MAKES THE TABLES MUCH MORE PLAYABLE AND FUN FOR CASUAL AND SEMI- CASUAL GAMERS. THEMES WITH SEXY WOMEN ONLY MAKE IT MORE FUN. LETTING THE PLAYER CHOOSE ANY AMOUNT OF BALLS THEY WANT STILL WOULD MAKE THIS GAME BETTER AS IT WOULD MAXIMIZE WHAT CASUAL AND SEMI-CASUAL PLAYERS CAN ACCOMPLISH AS FOR AS GOALS GO. HOWEVER INSTRUCTIONS IS ONE THING THAT MISSING SO PEOPLE MAY WANT TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLES GAME PLAY YOU TUBE TO FIND MORE WAYS OF SCORING POINTS BUT AT LEAST A FEW WILL BE EASILY FIGURED OUT WHEN PLAYING IT. THIS ISN'T A COMPLEX OR VERY DIFFICULT GAME. THE GAME PLAY IS FAIRLY EASY AND SIMPLE LIKE WITH GOTTLIEB TABLES BUT IT'S EASIER TO KEEP BALLS IN PLAY LIKE WITH WILLAMS TABLES, THIS IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR A CASUAL TO SEMI CASUAL-GAMERS, IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. I RECOMMEND HOT PINBALL THRILLS. DIFFERENT GOAL SETS ON EACH TABLE WOULD GIVE MORE VARIETY. RATHER THAN THE EXACT SAME GOALS USED WITH DIFFERENT THINGS TO SEND THE BALL OVER AND THROUGH. OVER ALL THIS IS A VERY GOOD GAME I GIVE IT AND 7 1/2 OUT OF 10
It is relaxing pinball.
Despite my low expectations going into this, it still managed to sink even further after a few minutes of play. The graphics were around what I expected, very average. One can argue that its very outdated, but that wasn't my biggest issue. The physics and hit detection are absolute garbage. Pinball from Atari 2600 had better physics than this game.
I wouldn't even recommend this for the eye candy.
Disclaimer: I am a 41 year old guy, and I bought this game simply for the pinball experience, if you can call it that, AND NOTHING ELSE!
OVERALL RATING: 1/2 a star at best honestly
Hot Pinball Thrills - $3.99
People who wish to claim they put this out: UIG Entertainment, Reactor, Fancy Bytes
Consists of 3 Tables (Carwash, Moulin Rouge, and Beach) with 5 Balls per play.
Played on an i-7, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB RAM, 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD
Positives: The Game didn't crash on me and no venereal disease can be trasmitted through the gameplay, thank god!
Negatives (Hold on to your hats folks): At entrance of the game the music is rather repeditive and honestly degrading to women as a while with "Giggles" throughout and "Kiss me Baby" references throughout the song.
Carwash - A very poorly designed table with unimaginative play and a ball the in my opinion looks unreal and feels horrible to play (physicswise). I am fairly confident the developers of this game had a beer in one hand and rhyming dictionary in the other as this table has the most pathetic design I have EVER seen in a table. Girls voices tell you "I love you" when the ball is lost (quite regularly I may add) and honestly just like the other tables they are misogynistic in design.
Moulin Rouge - Likewise a very poorly designed table, and game play, has the same music as the other machines, no creativity to me really (kinda feel sorry for the artist as he did the best he could I feel witht he material he was working with). As many of my pinball compatriots can tell you, just steer clear of this "Hot mess" (feels cheapened saying somethign that cheesy whil trying to write a serious review of this flaming bag of poo).
Beach - Ugh........lets just leave it at that....oh look a lighthouse........is that another mysoginistic reference to the male anatomy again?1?!? You can decide for yourself.....but why really.
In all I guess it is what you would expect from a company that is proud to put out "Professional Simulators" ...... AHEM.
Love yourself, dont buy this product.....ever!

Like the other two pinball thrills releases, this is a PROPER release for the PC.
Resolution Options? Check
Controller Options? Check
The game has a user friendly UI and plenty of user defined graphic options that the average Steam PC user has come to expect and will appreciate their inclusion here.
The camera options are more than sufficient and the game runs without any lag or choppiness.
You get 3 tables which are ALL original designs and each has a sort of SEXY GIRLS motif. These tables are NOT rules-deep and play more as a fine time waster than anything else.
The physics. Low gravity and a very live ball that reminds me of Full Tilt meets Original Future Pinball and once you get comfortable, you can have a FUN game of pinball.
This is worth the normal price of $3.99, and if you find it on sale, GRAB IT, you could do a lot worse.
Be sure to use number keys for camera angle, I prefer 4.
It's old PC school style pinball like from the 1990's.
Slower more leisurely pace then the realistic pinball sims.
If you hate that, pass, but it's not horrible for a few bucks at all.
foofaraw is biased! LOL
Zaccaria Pinball is an awesome new realistic pinball also worth your time/$.
Not the best but a lot better than people give it credit for on here.
Middle-of-the-road budget pinball game, part of a series which also includes football- and fantasy-themed sets. The problem is not so much that it offers three tables - that's already more than the likes of Worms Pinball offer - but that the tables on offer are really not very good. Hitting ramps - the most basic thrill of a game of pinball - is so rare as to be a happening, and most of the rest of the time, the ball just flounces around not hitting a whole lot of stuff. The physics don't help matters, as the ball and flippers feel heavy and wooden, rather than smooth, as should be the case in a computerised pinball simulation.
The rest of the game is equally as unremarkable - the soundtrack is limited to a single, Z-tier Playboy Channel soundalike, while table graphics revolve around the sort of imagery no one over the age of 15 will really be enticed by. What a mature gamer is left with is an extremely pedestrian, if competent, pinball simulation - good to kill 10 minutes, but instantly discardable the minute something better is available. Much like Playboy magazine itself, actually...
Not a hearty disrecommendation, but a thumbs-down nonetheless. If you're after a solid, budget pinball title, seek out Dream Pinball 3D instead.
Best table: Car Wash
Worst table: Moulin Rouge (good luck getting more than 2.5 million or so on that one, even if you're a veteran PC pinball player!)
I've loved pinball, both the real mechanical ones and computer simulations for as long as I can remember. This together with the other two games in the Thrills set (not to be confused with the excellent 3-D Ultra Pinball Thrillride by Sierra Entertainment) are the worst pinball games I've ever played. The Steam description says:
[quote]'They are the ultimate joy for fans of action packed arcade rounds. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology you’ll experience a premium physics simulation. Amazingly detailed, right down to realistic reflections, this game delivers the most intense pinball experience.'[/quote]
What a load of twaddle, though to be fair, the physics simulation is about right (apart from the ball feeling sluggish at times). There's little animation, most of the targets, of which there are only a few on each table are mainly boring and static. You'd be much better investing in Pinball Arcade or Pinball FX. Both of those games have a free table. Just watch the video on the Steam shop page for Hot Pinball Thrills and compare it to the ones I mention above.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/373810/
Basically all thee tables are similar, with little of interest in any one of them. Apart from what I've already mentioned above, you can't control the initial ball strength, there appears to be no additional features or hidden puzzles, the ramps, rails and switches are similar throughout not only this set, but the whole series of 12 tables (from 3 games). There are no or little in the way of lighting effects around the targets, The graphics are not what you'd expect from a game created in 2015. This series of tables is a turn off for me and I very much doubt I'll ever play it again. I cannot recommend this game, even to pinball aficionado's. If you are determined to buy the game I'd seriously wait till its on sale before you waste your money. I'm sure it will be on sale soon, once the negative reviews stack up, and sales dry up.
I don't like knocking games because I think the work that goes into them is intense, with many working hours going into the creation of even the simplest of games; unfortunately for me this game (and the others in the series), were a real disappointment.
I will be writing separate reviews for the other two sets in the series, but they will not be very different from this one as they use the same basic targets, the same ramps, the same bumpers etc. The main difference is the art work and slight changes to the look of the tables.
The WORST ever.
As an owner of EVERY FX2 and The Pinball Arcade table, this is just SO bad.
Bad design, dreadful layout, horrible physics. Three tables, less than 35 MB.
Just DON'T!
(Obviously I HAVE played 5 minutes, or this review wouldn't be accepted.....OK?)
