- GeeksVsGeeks, Pinball Spire Review: Flipping and Rolling to the Top of a Mysterious Tower - "Pinball Spire‘s only real downfall for me is that there isn’t more of it for me to play. The fact that I’ve played through this game twice now on two different platforms is a testament to its quality."
- Scott Clark, Pinball Spire | Switch Review - "It's a really unique experience not to be missed. Fantastic design and great audio to go with it make it a really fun game overall."
- Liam Dawe, Pinball Spire is a wonderful reinvention of what Pinball can be - "Pinball Spire comes so close to nailing the ‘pinballvania’"
- Michael McWhertor, Pinball Spire on Steam blends Metroidvania with pinball | Polygon - "It really is in that Rez and BIT.TRIP vain, which is to say Micron is more of an interactive audio-visual experience than just a simple puzzle game and if you're at all into retro-style games and music this is a puzzler you just can't miss."
