Oh God.
I was not hyping Alice: Madness Returns.
I am so glad I didn’t.
I’ve started playing it, and every little thing makes me smile.
I’m still not quite there yet when it comes to the creepy wonderland that was American McGee’s Alice… But this game is JUST SO BEAUTIFUL.
I mean it. I am not talking just the graphical style, there’s just so much work put into the whole game. And from what I’ve seen, the pace of teaching the player new tricks is fantastically thought out. There’s a fine line between making a player too bored or too confused/ragequitting.
IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY.
Even the tiny tutorial images makes me want to die inside.
PS. I have recently played an adventure game called Alpha Polaris. It has one of the best puzzles I’ve ever encountered in an adventure game these past few years. It gives me hope to see adventure game try to think outside the box, even though just a tiny bit. I was also thrilled to see they made their main character’s nose bigger than the usual (as I’d like to call it:) “Square Enix/Final Fantasy”-nose.
Go, go, scandinavians! DS.
