Stern Pinball Arcade: Ghostbusters Premium review

Stern Pinball Arcade: Ghostbusters Premium is the budget pick at $9.99, and it is a different kind of Ghostbusters game: a digital copy of the real 2016 Stern pinball machine rather than an adventure. FarSight Studios' Steam page says the table was designed by John Trudeau to be easy to play but difficult to master, with hand-drawn art by Jeremy Packer, known as Zombie Yeti. It recreates the machine's two-way ramps with a magnetic diverter, drop targets, a captive ball, magnetic slingshots and an interactive ghost hologram target. You install the free Stern Pinball Arcade app, then add this table, and it needs only 4 GB of storage. Steam lists shared and split screen PvP. The trade-offs: it is one table with no story, controller support is partial, and it runs on Windows only. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not play-test it.
