"By the end of the game, you’ll wonder where the last 90 minutes evaporated so quickly, but you won’t wish you had them back. Scanner Sombre is an excellently unique adventure, that builds layer upon layer or intrigue and trepidation as you inch towards the surface. About halfway through, Introversion telegraphs the ending, and if there’s any real fault to this palate cleanser it’s that you wind up able to guess how the game will conclude before you actually get there – a cardinal sin for a one-time-through story."

About
Time Scanner is a pinball game that leans into the genre's staples, flippers, ramps, and multipliers, while adding a loose time-travel hook. Players tackle four tables split into two sections each. Hitting the top or bottom areas triggers vertical screen scrolling, shifting the layout to reveal new challenges. The game supports single-player or co-op, letting two players take turns on alternating balls. Its simplicity is its strength, focusing on solid physics and timing over complex narratives. What catches attention is how it repurposes 80s tech to create dynamic table changes. The scrolling sections, while basic by modern standards, add a clever layer of variety to each round. Though overshadowed by later pinball hits, it holds a cult following among retro arcade fans. With co-op play and straightforward scoring, it’s a quick pick for those craving old-school mechanical thrills.
