Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her mind horrifically scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, where she struggled to confront her demons by slipping further into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release—yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event.
With her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge. Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?

The filler bits are a little ridiculous, but this has some of the best art direction in any videogame.
im not very good at parcour but it's enjoyable so far and it looks beautiful. the umbrella block doesnt seem to work though, alot of times!
this game has a wonder concept and story. the artwork is phenomenal. but why wouldn’t i recommend it? it plays like absolute dog sh*t. constant bugs weird buggy mechanics. overall just an awful experience. ea does what ea does best, not taking care of their games. wish i could give it a better review bc i rlly love everything else about it but honestly don’t bother trying to play it. just watch a play through.
I really like this game, i wish a sequel was still possible
a good game, the story is not as much as good than I thought but game logic is very enjoable guns and mechanics, puzzels, arts, good monster and secret things.
every detail is thought through and beautifully made... need asylum tho 😩🤍
Simple but really fun. The gameplay is smooth, and the story keeps you hooked. A great mix of action and dark, twisted Wonderland vibes. That said, the camera can feel clunky during combat, which got me killed a few times. Also, the audio on PC is a bit low, and the subtitles are small—probably due to the game being older and not optimized for modern resolutions
I only have one complaint. During the painting levels, the jump mechanic is jank and hardly responds and on occasion, your game will softlock. other than this chief complaint, the story is amazing, the characters are believable, and the pacing is perfect.
I love the story of the game and the general experience. Some bug errors which can be fixed but are quite annoying sometimes. I love this game and the characters and would definitely reccomend it to everyone.
I like the fact that this game is really challenging, it has all the twists and turns that you need, I use a PS5 controller to play the game but unfortunately I had to download a PS4 controller tool app so that I way I can use my playstation 5 controller because it looks like if you purchase this game through Steam, it seems like that it doesn't support playstation controllers only Xbox controllers. But you can get away with playing with a playstation controller bu downloading a Playstation controller tool app on your PC. Best one to use would be the DS4-windows app. Other than that you are golden and can play as usual. Defintely worth the price, was recommended to play this game by a really close friend of mine. If you are into the dark, twisted, gothic side of Alice in Wonderland, then this right here is definitely your game! I have not been able to put my controller down ever since I was recommended to play this game. Definitely an awesome game to play in the dark with all the lights off in the room! I do it all the time and the experience is way better!
I really loved this game. It had a great story, nice gameplay, beautyfully designed levels and the artstyle was great in general. I also can't forget to say how good the music is in the game. It really gives me the right mood for the game. Couldn't wait to start with the first entry in the series, American Mcgee's Alice after finishing Madness Returns.
great platformer with fun combat and minigames but some things get a bit repetitive. could have been ported to steam better, it has none of the dlc. It's still worth playing if you haven't.
I usually dont write reviews but this game surprised me and now i understand why some want a remaster or rather a full remake.
It did start off slow and i did get anoyed with the "old game" clunkynes and the story was also meh but after a few hours i was invested and imersed.
The clunkyness with things like movement and the camera controlls did persist during all my gameplayand perhaps thats the worst thing about the game "some old-school jank".
I still absolutelyt enjoyed the vibe, the platforming, the puzzles.
Combat was really well made as you had to use specific weapons on specific enemies and even environmental puzzles.
I could go on and on but long story short this one really felt like a game that was made in the golden age of gaming and id recomend anyone to give this one a try.
The most beautiful game I have every played. Music, surroundings, and different chapters are pure creativity. I loved the fighting mechanics too. The game utilizes every mechanic it has in many logical ways, even though they are not very straightforward sometimes. It really hurts to know that there are basically no more projects like this, American McGee really is a great creator but rarely managed to get funds for his ideas.
I have to say there are bugs like the well-known umbrella block dysfunction, but they are easily fixable manually. I enjoyed every second of this game and it made me truly happy, invested, and touched. 1000/10 no matter how many bugs I encountered. Unique project
Guaranteed fun. The story is full of philosophical and psychological concepts, which is typical of the Alice universe. The mechanics are easy to learn, and the battles are thrilling. Aesthetically, it's quite eye-catching.
Absolutely fantastic game. The story is very interesting and does a good job holding interest throughout the game, there are a lot of collectibles and extra things that make exploring the game and its environments a lot more rewarding. The game looks great and is a load of fun to play. My only criticism is that there are a few bugs and glitches in the game and its platforming and fighting mechanics that can make things a little frustrating to get past. But if that's not a deal breaker, I highly recommend checking it out! I have very little left of the game till I reach the ending, and I for sure will be replaying the game a lot afterwards.
I enjoyed the game but there were to many bugs and google searches to fix them to even get to the end of the game.
Although the game is good i cant recommend due to the issues ive had getting to the end
I would like to preface this by saying that I DO RECOMMEND the game itself. I think it was awesome and enjoyable, especially if you like the story and world of Wonderland. Nice level of difficulty, entertaining mechanics and great horror details too. However, there is a big downside: it's very buggy.
I had multiple crashes, issues when trying to share screen on discord and most importantly, issues with the weapons (umbrella not working, though this only happened in the last stretch of the game). I dreaded opening the game cause I knew I would have to restart it again, which sucks cause I really wanted to see how the story continued. I pulled through and finished the story (which I really liked) but all the bugs and crashes made it tiresome.
I don't know if this is a PC only issue, if that's the case I would much rather recommend you play the game on console if posible.
Its a really great game, the environments are really beautiful. The platforming aspects are fun, and the combat is great. The story is also wonderful! The issue is that this game is kind of a terrible port, its super buggy at least for me. The game gets constantly stuck on loading screens, sometimes you cant access the vorpal blade. Certain controls dont work and usually you have to start the game twice to actually play it. If you can get past all these issues, then the game is worth picking up. If not its probably much better to play it on its original platforms.
lowkey hard asf on controlller cuz u have like 10 different attacks with only 5 or so buttons to use but its peak gameplay BRING BACK PLATFORMERS
this game may not be really, everyone's choice but this rendition of Alice in wonderland is a Gothic feast for the eyes, the combat is fluid and wonderfully strategic, and the design is breath taking for anyone to enjoy
Such a shame that EA refused to do anything for this series. No remastered editions for this, or the first, not even a sequel, nothing. Alice Madness Returns is held in a special place in my heart. It's simple, fun, and has a nice message worth hearing. It's nice seeing a game like this to exist at the very least though. American MCgee, also proves that just because the protagonist is a female, it doesn't mean the game is "woke". I don't wanna get too into detail as to why I find the narrative special and important, but just know it will forever change the way you see the Alice in Wonderland story forever.
Alice:Madness returns is an original and thoughtful work of art that has wonderful storytelling, metaphors and art direction.
However, the game is buggy and from a gameplay standpoint some aspects are quite bloated.
But other than that goated game. Got it on winter sale for 0.99$ :D
The game is very cool and captivating with an incredible art style and atmosphere. Now I was going to give this game a negative review because it is a buggy mess, but I change my mind because I've found a mod that can patch the bugs. It's called Alice Madness Returns Tuner on the Nexus Mods website made by a guy called arumizz. You have to download and apply this mod for the game to work. And even then there are still some annoying bugs like keybinds and frame rate issues. At least it is playable now.
Good to know it's on steam now so I purchased it again.
This game is classic - little gem of action-adventure game, I have vivid memory playing it long time ago, Alice is gorgeous and badass in the gothic eerie atmosphere of a crazed Wonderland, the world like Alice herself, vivid, wonderful but dark and twisted. The music is phenomenal, one of those few games that the theme music on title screen instantly got me stuck here, and captivate so well the atmosphere of the game.
A shame EA robbed the chance for new Alice game.
this is a really terrible port of a really good game. some mechanics straight up do not work and you have to go into the game code and fix them yourself. luckily, there are guides online that can help fix the umbrella.
this game is so beautiful and fun and it's such a shame it was treated so carelessly. if you are willing to deal with the jank, get the pc port. if you aren't, purchase it on original hardware
Sad that EA refused Alice Asylum to be created... but this game was and still is a master piece. Mix of physiological horror and Gothic elements and making a beautiful story. I originally got this on the Xbox 360 when it first came out and re bought it on steam and still love the characters, maps, OST or even the cosmetic. Highly recommend this and American Megees Alice if you find it.
Truly, it's a work of art. I absolutely love the visuals and the gameplay dynamics.
It's spot on! ♥ GG
Short review: Score 9/10. This game is so enjoyable, it reminds me my childhood playing on the Play 1, however the story is so dark, I can see why we won't have a part 3 hahaha ♡♡♡

Very fun and addicting old school puzzle game. beautiful scenery and easy to follow controls
Alice: Madness Returns is a gem that has aged beautifully. Its unique blend of dark storytelling, stunning visuals, and compelling gameplay make it a must-play for anyone who appreciates games with depth and artistry.
This title is more than a sequel; it’s a masterpiece that deserves to be rediscovered by a new generation of gamers. It’s time for Alice: Madness Returns to receive the widespread recognition it has always deserved.
Rating: 9/10 – A Dark, Twisted Wonderland You’ll Never Forget
The game is good. The story, the concept, battle mechanism, etc.
But there are some problems I got. For example, my save is gone when I play on different device (From laptop to PC).
The other problem is, this game is often crashed. I am sure the problem is not my PC or laptop. And sometimes, I can't close the game, even using task manager or force close the game. It just stuck and I can't move to other app.
And the last bug I encounter is the character/Alice move forward by herself. It can be solved by close the game and open it again.
The best game of the series. Is such a shame that EA decided to cancel the third game...
I really did not expect this game to be good. The art is pretty cool and the game its self is fun to play.
really really fun! wish there was achievements though :/ really love 100%ing and the story
Played through the game with much pleasure. Very engaging story and memorable main character. Perhaps, the only (fixable!) disadvantage was the difficulty of the game even on easy settings: till later chapters the monsters substantially grew in strength and quantity, while my hands dexterity remained approximately the same through the playthrough. :-) Game's capability to tune it via .ini files has been revealed as a great design choice, applauding the developers!
Uninstalled towards the end of Chapter 1. The camera, in conjunction with an ultra janky target lock-on, gets in your way CONSTANTLY, and causes you to die a lot more than you really should because the camera keeps doing whatever the fuck it wants to. Also, I got stuck (couldn't move at all) twice even before finishing Chapter 1 when trying to pull a lever or spin a valve, causing me to have to restart from the last checkpoint. Restarting from the last checkpoint wouldn't be so bad if the checkpoints weren't so far back. Having to reset from a half hour ago because the valve turning animation erroneously got me stuck in place with no way to escape is bullshit and I'm not putting up with that nonsense. Luckily I only paid a buck for the game on sale. It's not even worth a buck though to be honest, because of how frustrating it is right off the bat. Why pay a dollar to get annoyed over and over?
Also, the game has big fps drops when loading new parts of a level, and sometimes this can happen mid-platform-jump, causing you to fall into the abyss, which again, can mean losing a half hour of progress to get respawned at the last checkpoint. It shouldn't have fps drops when it runs at 30fps to begin with and I'm well above the recommended requirements with the game installed on an M.2 drive.
3/10 - the story would have been great but the controls, camera and checkpoints completely ruin the enjoyability.
Despite its age, this game still delivers a hauntingly beautiful experience. The developers did an incredible job crafting a dark, twisted story that grips you from start to finish. The art style, gameplay, and narrative draw you into a journey through a chilling nightmare.
As Lady Gaga would say, “Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.” Words cannot describe how much I love this game, from story to the very aesthetics of it.
A classic & a masterpiece, huge props to American McGee and the team, and shame on you EA, for discontinuing such a legendary franchise.
What can I say? This game is a classic and was a formative experience for me. Having played the original Alice game, I came into this one with some degree of skepticism; but not only is it a great sequel, it is a great game!
just got to the clockwork part of the game, pretty early ill admit, but its already fun. great game so far, will update as i get further
interesting atmosphere and unusual new look at alice in wonderland story
P.S. sadge the definitive version with console exclusive previous alice game is not on steam
The game is like if Wonderland went through a dark, twisted makeover—creepy, stylish, and filled with bizarre characters. It's a wild ride where madness and fun go hand in hand!
i would love to play this game, but this version straight up does not work. Like no matter what you do it will freeze, crash, corrupt your saves, and just not load the game.
This game has 1 major problem that's only 2 letters long: EA. This game had big ambitions, but unfortunately it lacks polish that I can only presume comes from EA stripping it of most of its potential. I think the devs were underfunded and on a tight schedule under the thumb of a corproate giant that couldn't care less about quality as long as they can market their kewl, edgy goth girl, her bloody apron & knife, and her smiling ghoul kitty fast enough to appease their shareholders.
First and foremost, there's a hell train running rampant throughout Wonderland, which is the representation of Alice's fragmented MK Ultra'd mind. I think when compared to the level design, the train is an excellent metaphor. Alice can only go forward through very long linear levels with no in-game backtracking whatsoever and 0 warnings between level transitions. This is frustrating for anyone who likes to collect everything since if you accidentally traverse a point of no return, then you cannot go back to get whatever secrets you may have missed. It's simply too late. The train has chugged on and Alice is left with fewer memories or bottles or health pieces unless you the player feel like replaying a level. And to be frank, I don't think Madness Returns would merit playing any level a 2nd time to acquire what was missed.
Unlike the first Alice game, there are no bosses, save for one at the very end. They literally tease the player in the first chapter of the game with what appears to be a boss--only for it to "comically" break down right in front of Alice. I find that to be very cheap and comparable to the rushed job they did with, say, General Scales at the end of Starfox Adventures. Building up to an expected boss fight and then "subverting expectations" a la Rian-Johnson-Star-Wars style doesn't make your game look witty or funny. It makes it look like the devs were just too rushed to execute their original vision. I didn't appreciate it back then for Scales, I don't appreciate it now, and I downright hate it when none of the major levels are punctuated with true bosses. As for the end boss fight, it's nothing to write home about. I'm pretty sure one of the devs was playing Super Smash Brothers campaigns at the time and that wound up being the boss's inspiration. Storywise, the boss has a place, but the fight itself was anticlimactic.
I think the platforming & puzzles also suffered for the rushed game design. There are actually very bad rhythm minigames nested within--absolutely abysmal "guitar hero" segments with bad audio to boot. They're few and far between, but I feel like it was just wedged in to quickly add content without much thought. There's also stuff like picture slide puzzles (eww), 2D platforming segments, and short chessboard plays. All of it feels shoehorned. Much of the extraneous stuff Alice will be doing in this game will likely feel as unpolished and hackneyed as everything else. But this is Wonderland we're talking about, so I guess anything goes, right?
The combat itself works. It's okay. There's minor gripes like having to be locked onto an enemy in order to perform a ranged deflect or having to sit through the same cutscenes after failing multiple times. The game is by no means hard. Alice has a rapid-fire dodge that grants invincibility frames. Once you have a fully upgraded knife and the teapot, then Alice can live out her abused goth girl revenge fantasy. I'd say her worst enemy can be the Z targeting, but I'm not the Mozart of controller inputs to begin with, so we could perhaps chalk up my shortcomings to garden-variety skill issues.
The story is okay. This is of course not straight from the American McGee spigot, but it gets the job done as a spiritual successor of sorts. Like the rest of the game, it lacks polish. It's told through a mix of cardboard cutouts and in-game cutscenes. Its presentation could have been way better, but I feel like it didn't get enough time to cook. Same story with most of the characters. It's rushed development across the board.
The music is crap compared to the first game's soundtrack. Sorry, not sorry. It's the cold, hard truth. One has true inspiration behind it. The other is a more ambient, uninspired mockup to prop up EA's corpo version of Wunderland. Not knockin' whoever did the music, but I think EA got what they paid for. Main theme is OK. But that's honestly the only memorable part of the entire soundtrack, for better or worse.
If you like McGee's vision, give it a go. The game is not without its artistic merits and twisted adult themes that were in the original American McGee's Alice. One part even actually made me laugh out loud. It has a soul behind it, it just feels like the soul got crushed and wilted by EA's groper hands. They can't help it. They're just the perfect combination of rich, evil and stupid. When they harm their own IP's, they know not what they do. So if you're the forgiving type and this game is on sale (like 90% off), then go for it. But if you pay full price for your train ticket, you're getting gypped big time by the Electronic Arts conductor.
Like Jim Carrey said in Liar Liar, "I've had better."
5/10
muito bom, mas é muito bugado
Literally everything about the art and writing of this whole world is one of the most engaging and enjoyable of any game I've experienced, I can't recommend this enough just for the amazing design of it all.
Amazing gameplay, beautiful cinematography, intricate story. This game is magnificent, and it stands the test of time.
I really enjoy this game! Got it on sale and played through the entire thing until I 100% it which didn't take that long all things considered! Though there are a handful of bugs I didn't feel that they messed with the game experience. I'd recommend this for anyone who's a fan of darker story themes who enjoys the twists and turns that Wonderland has to offer!
I started playing this game just a day ago and I'm already almost finished as I just got so addicted to playing! And when I say this it does not mean the game is short, I think the playtime and the atmosphere you get from this game are worth every penny!
The platforming mechanics are perfect and make the sections feel so smooth and enjoyable to play and the story is built throughout the game adding on a perfect amount to the story from American Mcgee's first alice outing, this sequel expands on it in such a great way!! There are some darker underlying themes of trauma, survivors guilt and other harsher themes so if anyone has any certain triggers please check information about the game before playing :3
The only problem I ever got from the game was the camera, which would stutter during a timed event and cause me to have to do the same timed event over and over as the camera wouldn't follow Alice and made me have less time to move
Otherwise a beautiful game that I really reccomend !!
9/10
Definitely check it out, especially if on the winter sale!!
Also **** you EA for being greedy as hell and not letting the creator carry on adding more to this masterpiece because of your greed
