Poor Alice Liddell, mentally torturing herself after her family perished in a fire that consumed her childhood home. Enough to drive a girl mad, which is exactly what led to the events of 2000’s cult-classic, American McGee’s Alice.
McGee’s tale picked up where Lewis Caroll’s mind-bending children’s adventure Through the Looking-Glass left off. Fans and critics alike applauded McGee’s vision of a twisted Wonderland, further warped through the lens of madness.
11 years later, McGee and his studio Spicy Horse have returned to continue Lidell’s psychotic decent with Alice: Madness Returns. It’s an adventure ripe with an imaginative world and cast, solid platforming, and commendable combat.
