Demon's Tilt - Switch (20hrs) A spiritual successor/homage to Devil's Crush/Dragon's Fury.  I was hyped for this pre-launch (the original trailer first appeared when I was balls deep in an epic Pinball Arcade head to head with the wife), but I couldn't quite click with the lightweight ball physics when it hit Game Pass.  Pinball Arcade aims for a 1:1 representation of proper pinball, whereas this is very much a 'videogame'.  I never deleted it, then it left the service, then I bought it half price on Switch and didn't really play it for another six months.  But when I finally did (earlier this year, isn't this exciting?), I was hooked.  I decided to set up a 'pinball corner' in the front room after a pub trip one afternoon, using an old TV as a tate display.  Mrs. Moot soon blocked off that particular avenue of pleasure, but it migrated to the main telly and 20+hrs of intense pass-the-pad battling later I managed to hit JonB's parameters for 'completion' yesterday (wizard mode/1 billion points). There's only so much you can type about pinball games really, it's about as Marmite an interactive experience as you can get.  I used to despise it as I was never able to stomach the casual cuntishness of a bad luck ball drain.  Videogame pinball is a bit different from the real thing though.  They all seem to have a nudge move available (with a flick of the left stick here), which is a semi-reliable get out of jail card.  Sure, you can heft real pinball tables around a little before the tilt lock kicks in, but it's a lot easier with an analogue stick.  NB: Mrs. Moot refuses to use it as it goes against her weird pinball principles, but that's why her top score has less zeros than mine [BigHeadModeActivated].  I've tried pointing out that it's called Demon's Tilt, and that there's a sizeable portion of the screen devoted to how much leeway you've got before it locks the table, and that it's videogame pinball rather than pinball pinball, but she still nope.gifs me.  I nudge though.  Loads.   The moment I broke the billion barrier was an SS tier gaming moment for me.  I've finally clawed one back.  Over the years she's beaten me at MS Pinball, Dragon's Fury (the Retro Pi once crashed on her when she was on course to demolish her own top score, which I pretend not to remember) and the true GOATS: Addams Family and Twilight Zone on Pinball Arcade (PS4).  The latter two she hammered on a six week holiday while I was at work, so there's a disagreement over whether they count.  Even if I admit it's 4-1 over the course of 20+ years the momentum is currently with me. [9], loved it and it's near enough perfect in terms of what it set out to be vs what it is.  Easily the best (videogame) pinball experience of all time.  It takes a long time to learn, but it's extremely rewarding once you're familiar with the table.
