I don't think it is possible to have just one game that does it all with gameplay, theme, and total audience appeal. There is a huge difference in novice players that just flip the ball around and experienced players that learn rules and like a challenge. Brutal games like TWD, GB, and SW can be fun in a bigger collection but don't think they work well solo. The best balanced game with theme, gameplay, and skill level is MET imo. It's pretty easy to learn basic rules and easy to get to mb (bash Sparky). It's also fairly easy for average player to get to a CUI mode and feel like you accomplished something. Plenty of deeper code and strategy for experienced players. Only issue is theme is not for everyone and not exactly family friendly. It also can seem like a grind to bash everything a bunch but once you learn the rules it makes the game a lot more enjoyable.

Quoted from J85M:

The one game that ticks all those boxes providing you enjoy the theme of course is BM66, gameplay is great shotwise once dialled in especially the left orbit and left ramp.
Code is accessible for beginners and casual players as it’s easy to start a couple of multiballs (joker & penguin) but the rules are super deep and complex with some unique touches that are player controlled (channel changing) and everyone who see its and plays it loves it, kids all the way up to grandparents, the only negative it has going against it is the premium price tag.

True but there is no BM66 pro. Only premium and expensive premium at that. Doesn't sound like an option for the OP. Not an option for me either. Only played it a few times and liked it but just way too expensive. Best single game for all at premium level is DI.

Quoted from pinchamp:

Saying Metallica is not family friendly is just not right. My kids love sparky and the DMD graphics are nothing crude (like TWD). It is a funny game and with adult mode turned off they hear nothing worse than they would here on regular TV. The snake is awesome, sparky is great and the graphics on the playfield and cabinet/backglass are super fun and appealing to the entire Family.

Jack f-ing pot? Frying a dude in a chair? I can think of a whole bunch of other pins that are a lot more family friendly. To each their own, though.
