What table to buy?
Can someone tell me more about the tables? Which one is fun, tactical, etc etc?

As a casual player I won't have much detail to give.

Chucky seems to be the top table where you can find tricks and have control of the ball. The Thing is hard and I haven't found any tricks to control the ball.

Other than that, I think I will purchase the other tables to mess around with. I don't want to burn out on the ones I am playing now.

The other two seem like a slower pace from the demos.

My first impression was I liked Chucky then Duke Nukem the best. The other two didn't grab me right off the bat.:zaccaria_wizard::zzz_logo:

I decided I will buy Duke and the Daylight game. More games to mess around with, since all my other games are on a tablet.

The one thing throwing me off on the Daylight demo is that little flipper in the middle of the table. They made it such a main thing that you always have to use it.

See what happens when I own the full version.

If you're open to trying the challenge modes, I'd say buy whatever table has a theme you're interested in. The majority of challenges often don't have a win/loss condition centered on losing a ball and don't reset table missions when losing a ball. It leaves a freedom to really enjoy and explore what each table has to offer while still offering the competitive thrill as you do your best at the challenge. All of the tables are fun in that context and the challenge modes really are fun. I should know they existed in FX2 and FX3, but I barely remember them there. Here they make a very strong and positive impression.

If classic or arcade mode will be your primary experience, I'm not entirely sure but would lean towards the Duke Nukem table. It does have some FPS segments you work with the flippers, so be warned if you're a purist, but overall, I think it's fun and not too punishing with drains.

I'm thinking Chucky and DbD would be the tactical tables. I'm reading a lot of positives about Chucky and just haven't played it as much yet. I will!

The Thing is both fun and tactical. Currently my favorite that I have the most time into alongside Duke Nukem, but that's on the condition of challenges I mentioned above. It's got a learning curve of getting every flip to count and be safe if you don't want to lose the ball quickly. When you're not as worried about that or you get good from all of the practice challenge modes inherently offer, it's a blast. I am highly biased, though. The Thing is one of the best horror movies ever.
All😁. Chucky is the best one imo, while DbD is a bore, but thats just me, I couldn't get into that table yet. The VA they used on it is terrible.

Why not buy the bundle? all tables are good, cheaper that way.

The Thing is my favorite, but it is really hard

I would recommend Chucky and the Thing. Both are fun to play and have that Halloween Horror Night ( or the Nightmare before Christmas ) , Vibe.

I have not bought Dead by Daylight and Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem is my favorite but I'm biased because Duke rocks. Hail to the King, Baby!

Some PinballFX tables are also coming out soon...and I also want to buy those, so I want to limit myself to only 1 :)

I've bought all except for Dead by Daylight and so far Duke Nukem is my fav, might be biased as I love the original game. The Thing seems interesting but I'm currently pretty bad at it. Chucky is really good too even though I'm not a fan of the movie,

I dunno, roll a d4 or something.

I find the callouts for the DBD table very good. The tone, the voice and the delivery are really on point. One of the highlights of the table for me.

I have all the tables now, but I don't have a clue what I am doing with Daylight. I need to read the table guide for this one. Usually I just play for a while and figure stuff out as it happens.

Sure, the tables usually tell you what to shoot for, but I don't see much happening. The other tables seem to have more cinematic when you activate something. Maybe I just haven't got that far yet.
