Alice: Madness Returns
I was kinda disappointed to find there isn't a thread on this game. It seems like in a lot of places American McGee's Alice sequel was flat out ignored. It's a little sad too since critics seem to pan it as highly repetitive and shallow, but all things considered I can't really understand the foundation of that opinion.
I finished this a few weeks ago, and I'm taking my time playing it again for all the collectibles. I'm not skipping a single cutscene or finding myself annoyed playing again, but again I play for about an hour or two a day. The world feels expansive despite how little you can explore of it, every area has interesting things just to look at, which sucks me into the game itself. I love the way Alice is animated and I feel like the control scheme is fairly solid.
I've seen one or two graphical glitches, but nothing to really hinder my experience. I just find myself consistently thinking about the game, the story, and world. I don't know what exactly drags me into it, but I'm not complaining.
If you're looking for something new to play (regardless of if you've played the original) I highly recommend this one.
