GEV says: Eleven years later, Alice falls back through the rabbit hole in Alice: Madness Returns. Now being developed by American McGee’s new Shanghai based studio Spicy Horse and published by Electronic Arts, Alice: Madness Returns still offers a stunningly twisted vision of the Wonderland we’ve all come to know and love. Unfortunately what the game doesn’t do well overshadows all of that. As such, Alice: Madness Returns feels like a rehash that might have been better left in the idea bin.
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. "
5 out of 10? Really?
I hope that this no name site is just looking for hits because if it's serious I have lost all my hope in gaming reviewers
I got the game its not bad but I can see why they gave it a low rate...i really feel they could of done better with this title.
The game is better than what most games seem to suggest. See the user ratings for the game on each site. They're poles apart from the critics ratings. Play the game and judge for yourself
This game is amazing, easily one of the best of 2011. Not to mention is a big game.
