Agreed, the game feels like the designer play tested it for all of a week. On the two examples I've played the flippers feel like have a weird fucking delay going on or something... as such, the game just does not feel "right". I was actually wondering if there is some sort of PC controlled delay going on because I've never had such a funky playing experience on a game right out of the box.
Quoted from PinballTilt:I had a Houdini and I've played dialed in. Houdini was sold and dialed in is on my short list to replace it. I look for games that are fun and I enjoy playing. Dialed in checks both of those boxes. As others have said, Houdini is a brick fest and I don't find it fun to miss a shot 75% of the time when it could have been designed better. It's not just one shot that's tight, it's 4 or more. They are not just tight, but poorly designed in my opinion.
