With a release date just around the corner fans of the Alice series finally get to return to Wonderland in the new sequel from Spicy Horse games ‘Alice Madness Returns’
Reviewing Alice: Madness Returns almost feels like a rite of passage for me. You see, I'm from the same town as the childhood home of Charles Dodgson, better known to you and I by his pen-name, Lewis Carroll. As such, he's a bit of a local culture icon.
I played Alice: Madness Returns for the first time last year. What an amazing game and adventure. It's a huge shame we aren't getting a sequel to it. It absolutely deserves another game.
oh yeah, I remember this game! I remember liking it, but found the platforming to be utterly obnoxious. Loved the world design.
Good review!
Of course Sunset Overdrive gets a nod. It's Insomniac!
I personally think there's better on gamepass then what was listed. State of decay imo is better then anything listed. Recore seemed alright for what I played on there also.
Odd that he specified 'Game Pass Ultimate' instead of just 'Game Pass' just so he could include a relatively weak choice comparably in 'Alice: Madness Returns' which is available with EA Play. SoD was a far better overlooked game to have listed.
From Games Radar: "Alice: Madness Returns has been removed from Steam just months after fans fought to get the creepy horror back onto Valve's PC platform.
The sequel was removed from sale back in 2016 following a DRM problem, an issue that kept the game off Steam for a full five years. It was finally reinstated in February 2022, only for fans to notice that, once again, it had been mysteriously pulled again earlier this month.
The game's Steam page says "at the request of the publisher, Alice: Madness Returns is no longer available for sale on Steam", but that's a standard disclaimer that doesn't really tell us very much. "
Awesome! Thanks for the info.
your welcome, it just came out 45 minutes ago :)
creepy...
I really need to see some more reviews for this game. If it gets an average of anything from 7 and up I'm picking it up but I'll probably pass if the rest of the reviews are as damning as the first one.
To pre-emptively counter a comment I just know is coming, yes I know reviews are just opinions and I do like to make up my own mind but listening to the opinions of others often helps one make up one's own mind. Otherwise you'd just be swinging in the dark and making up your mind arbitrarily.
for some reason this reminds me of dante's inferno also i was looking for a really strong plot and that doesnt seem to be the case...
cool environments tho
