What is Alice: Madness Returns?
A third-person action-adventure and 3D platformer set in a dark, fractured Wonderland. As Alice searches for the truth about her past, you cross levels, fight enemies with upgradeable weapons, use size-changing and floating abilities, and solve environmental, musical, chess, and picture-block puzzles.

- +you want platforming, combat, and puzzles in one adventure
- +you prefer a story-focused single-player game

What players say
91% of 31,002 reviews are positive · 92% of 355 in the last 30 days
Players most often praise the gothic art direction, dark Wonderland setting, story, and level design. The main complaint is the PC port: players report crashes, freezes, endless loading screens, broken mechanics, a low frame-rate cap, and config edits or community patches that may not resolve every issue.
