Tomb Raider Pinball – A Chaotic Journey Through Pixels and Steel Balls
So, here’s a weird one. Tomb Raider Pinball hits the scene, a kind of weird love letter to a game series that somehow keeps hanging around, like that one song you can’t get out of your head. I mean, who even thought pinball and Tomb Raider needed to cross paths? Anyway, let’s dive into this madness.
Picture this: it’s 1996, PlayStation’s in the house, and boom – Tomb Raider’s got everyone talking. 3D was THE thing, and Lara Croft was just… iconic. Fast forward to now, 2025, and Zen Studios gives us two pinball tables in Pinball FX that let us jump through Croft Manor and beyond – all virtual, of course.
First stop, Adventures of Lara Croft. Now this table, it’s got all this stuff – exotic spots, relics to collect, waterfalls (a bit overly majestic if you ask me), and, oh, statues that seem to staaaare. Why do they stare so much? Anyway, your mission: help Lara snag these legendary items. But the kicker – there’s no “real” pinball machine this resembles. It’s all over the top but strangely addictive.
Then there’s Secrets of Croft Manor, where you get to poke around Lara’s family mansion. Traps, hidden passages – yup, it’s all here. There’s something about smacking balls into fireplaces… wait, what? But yeah, score high by weaving through mazes and wrestling with obstacle courses. Oh, and try not to get distracted by souvenirs she’s picked up – a random thought, honestly, but it’s there.
Oh, and trophies – right, about these… There’s this Additional Tables #7 list, adding trophies for the really persistent ones among us – like, complete Survivor Mode or something. It’s all about bragging rights. I think.
A quick FYI if you’re eyeing this – $9.99 snares you these pinball tables for both PlayStation 4 and 5. A package deal, sort of hardcore completionist bait. So, adventures await, whether you’re a pinball wizard or just got caught in the Lara Croft whirlwind.
In a nutshell? This release is… well, not sure what it is, but definitely something out of this world.
