Kineticist’s take
TPF 2025: Portal and Evil Dead excel; Avatar disappoints; Merlin's Arcade layout clashes with rules.
Synopsis
Dennis and Tony from Eclectic Gamers Podcast recap their Texas Pinball Festival 2025 experience, discussing hands-on gameplay of new releases including Stern's Dungeons & Dragons, Jersey Jack's Avatar, Spooky's Evil Dead, Turner Pinball's Merlin's Arcade, and Multimorphic's Portal. They praise Evil Dead and Portal as standout games while finding Avatar middling and Merlin's Arcade mechanically awkward despite good rule design.
