Current Events > Alice: Madness Returns is a pretty fun game

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's one of those cult classic games that I never played. I got it for $5 on a PSN sale and I've only gotten to the end of the first chapter but it's a lot of fun. It's creepy while also cheerful. It's pretty bizarre and you can't get that kind of feeling with many games.

The gameplay isn't groundbreaking but it's good.

Loved it.

Yeah it was pretty good. It was different a great take on the old tale. I'm a fan of the first one as well. So many memories.

The only game I know of with a triple jump. Wherein I found out why triple jump is such a bad idea in platformers. The levels are just so boring in alice madness returns, they're big but not that fun.

It's a shame because conceptually I was super hyped for the game back then.

I'm going to jump back into it after I get some lunch. One thing that was kind of weird was how giant the kids were in the non-Wonderland section of the game.

I do hope they make a third one. Or maybe a different Disney fairytale that is the source material and not the disneyfied version.

The first one actually came with it as part of the DLC. The digital version gave it to me free so I'll try it out too. I've heard it's....dated.

Every 3d mario game?

decent platformer with great art direction. horribly repetitive though and goes on WAY longer than it should. worth $5 tho.

I bought it at launch and found it pretty disappointing. Every level is like five times as long as it should be and the forced minigames are usually pretty bad. It's not a terrible game, and honestly, it's probably a bit better than the original, but that game hasn't aged well at all.

I have it on my old steam page that I haven't used in 8 years and I hope I still have the password for it. Didn't they also remove it from steam

Yeah, that was cool when they did it. Gave people a chance to play it. i feel like not a lot of people had heard about it before the sequel. It is a little bit dated but I also feel like it is best played on PC.

I just beat chapter 2 (damn these chapters are long as hell)

The ending was fucking dark. This game is unsettling but I love that about it.

The ending was f***ing dark.

Just wait until you get to Chapter 5 then. That one is by far the darkest.

The game would be better if the levels were shorter. They're way too long. That one where you're underwater seemed to go on forever.
