Alice: Madness Returns

Image: Steam / Spicy Horse Games

  • Platformer
  • Action
  • Dark fantasy

Third-person platforming and combat through a dark Wonderland: Alice jumps, glides with her dress, shrinks to see hidden platforms and fights with the Vorpal Blade or the Pepper Grinder, which you upgrade with teeth.

Why play it now

When you want a sinister platformer to dip into now and then: it shines more in short bursts than in marathons.

Who it's for

For anyone after classic, macabre platforming, set between Victorian London and Wonderland.

When not to pick it

If repetition wears you down: reviews find its platforming repetitive and want more variety.

  • Story: 60 out of 100
  • Exploring: 50 out of 100
