To me there's no other game with a vibe like this one. The whole plot is just so well- written and surprising at the end. Game dev did a super good job to portray Alice's (in)sanity and her path to untangling it. Also the visuals are purely breathtaking. The scenery darkening bit by bit as you progress throughout the game, enjoyable soundtrack that matches it perfectly really bring this game to the next level. Fighting mechanisms are also good and suit the fragile character very well. I particularly enjoyed the chapter where Alice reaches the Red Queen's castle, and also the Japanese/Chinese one was beautiful. Although one may encontuer some minor bugs I really recommend playing this game at least once. I'm just sad that the author (American McGee) kind of abandoned this project and it's future part, but I understand him and his fight with this big corporation. If it would ever be possible for the third, never released part to see the daylight I would put all my money on it, because after playing this game and the first one I am definitely sure that it would be a masterpiece. This game will stay with me for as long as my memory isn't shattered just like Alice's. TL;DR THIS GAME IS AWSOME AND I WANT TO BUY IT LEGALLY THANK YOU
Another game on my bucket list. Never owned, never played.
GOG, please make it happen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Whilst the first "Alice" game is the one that really holds nostalgia for me, after I first played it in 2010, I was amazed that a sequel was released the next year. Whilst I played a small part of it at a friend's house back in the day, I didn't have a PC powerful enough to run it. And, when I eventually did, it was long after I'd made a firm decision to only buy and play DRM-free games. So, I've been eagerly waiting for this sequel to appear here for literal years... Because, whilst I've got an old CD-ROM of the first game that runs on my PC, I don't really have any way to play the sequel which doesn't involve *ugh* "signing in" to multiple DRM-services...
i played this game on steam and loved it. its a shame we will never see a third installment. EA shows no interest in the franchise but still old the IP close to their chest. (it is literally that smiling friends sketch) and the developer has given up trying and just wants to move on. but i'm glad we still have these game.
love to see this game preserved because the art style is amazing, the characters are great and love the story
We’re probably never gonna get the conclusion to the series, Alice Asylum because of EA lack on interest in the brand. But I would love to see Alice: Madness returns along with the original classic Alice game brought to GOG. More people need to play this game, and it should be preserved for future generations through the GOG program.
It would be nice to get this game DRM free on GOG, but you can often buy it for $1 on Steam. Now, if GOG did make an EA-free version of this, I would hope that they include the full functionality of the bonus content that includes the first Alice game as an unlockable without the user having to manually patch it to make it work.
One of the best games i have ever played
I can truly call it a "hidden gem"
Unfortunately i don't have it anymore and I'm looking to buy it and support the amazing developers
I love GOG store and I hope i can buy it here
Finished this game last year for the first time. The combat might get repetetive, but the vibe... oh man, the vibe. I knew i wanted to play this just because i really like the wonderland aesthetic. And i was for sure not dissapointed. Not even like 13-14 years later. Maybe some levels overstay their welcome a bit, but if you are looking for a simple adventure with a deeper narrative, try this one. I still think about this one a lot.
R.I.P. Alice Asylum, i didn't know how much i needed you.
If you manage to acquire it, it would be great to actually make it work - it's capped at 31fps on Steam and crashes on changing resolutions. You have a history of fixing performance, so that'd be nice.
