Just on pure layout, Houdini had Alien(s) beat in my book.
It shot better, had an impressive lock system and felt super solid.
The new darker artwork fit the theme a bit better too.
(Even though I preferred the original style more.)
Magnets in the hands were cool, as were the faux-chains on top of the pops.
Cabinet was nice enough and I could see someone modding it more to include 3D printed gauges, some wood grain perhaps and maybe some faux-pipe to make it really pop.
You know how creative those steampunk folks can get...
All in all, a very good contender for my future monies.
