Replay: Alice: Madness Returns


Back in 2011 I bought the game Alice: Madness Returns and played it through all the way until the last boss (I think). But after a few dozen failed attempts I kind of just quit trying.
It was the perfect game all the way until that point where the difficulty peaked a tad too much.
Now a few weeks ago my better half tested if the game was backward compatible with the Xbox One, and to our surprise it was. So she has been playing it through while I've been watching.

So does the game still work? Yes it does and here is why!
  • It is lovely in a strange way, it is Alice after all
  • It is looooong and well designed.. Very well designed.
  • A lot of puzzles that are fun to solve
  • For us it was a totally new game, no memories of the first time, it has been some years after all.
So if you haven't played it through yet (or even if you have) happen to find it in a used games or bargain bin, don't hesitate. Buy it and play it through on your Xbox One.

And yeah, she beat the last boss on the first attempt... !
