DC Super-Skill Pinball: Harley Quinn Ball Review

Since its debut in 2020, Super-Skill Pinball: 4-Cade has had a steady stream of releases. Almost to the tune of 1 a year, we’ve gotten new tables and new themes.

If you are not interested in what the new tables are and are just curious how good DC Super-Skill Pinball: Harley Quinn Ball is, I’ve got good news for you. I’ve played almost every iteration of the game and this one is,
