The maps are easily navigable, with plenty of hidden pathways to explore, and not much time is spent being frustrated over missing a platform on a poorly timed jump. The controls have been modified from the original to work well while using a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, and for the most part they perform just fine. Following suit with the first game, the gameplay here is run of the mill 3rd-person adventure / platformer.

Who does that anyway? Am I really supposed to care about the anthropomorphic toaster you chased down because it stole your intangible ability to feel gratitude?īut I digress…. Trying to make sense of the underlying plot of this game was like trying to make sense of a dream someone had that they’re telling you about. Or so I’m told… how would I know? What did I say about judging!? If Lewis Carroll’s novels seemed inspired by LSD induced hallucination, the world of the games seems more like a vision spawned from a bad acid trip. Now, seeing as I have little to no recollection of the actual plot of the first title – I played it while I was in college, don’t judge me, I don’t really remember a whole lot from those years – I’m not exactly sure what landed her in the new home, but who cares because within about 5 minutes of playing Madness Returns, Alice is yet again sucked back into evil Wonderland, once again fighting off attackers with her trusty, blood stained blade. Madness Returns opens with Alice living in a home under psychological care, apparently now free from the asylum where she was held in the original game after a mysterious house fire killed her family, leaving Alice as the sole survivor. Hipster Alice had a dark and gritty reboot before it was cool.
