Zen Studios' pinball style has been called "cinematic". In order to capture the mood of a game or franchise, its tables include spoken lines, animations and deep references from movies, TV or animated shows they are based on, weaving those references into the action in a fun and interesting way. Each table is a separately designed game, with distinct layouts and graphical styles. One of the "Star Wars"-themed tables, for example, "feels inextricable from the universe, its elements combining into something truly evocative," while the "Ant-Man"-based table "faithfully recreates the aesthetic of the film and makes good use of the notable elements in the table design." In Telltale Games' 'The Walking Dead: Season One' pinball adaptation, the playfield is shaped and surrounded by scale representations of the most memorable set pieces from each of the five episodes in that game.
