Again, like American McGee's Alice, I enjoyed the themes and setting of this game. The controls worked much better for me this time around than they did with Alice (only because the aging didn't work for me so well). I played only through the first level or two (I remember the locale being very mechanical / steam punk) and thinking wow this game takes a really long time to burn through. The levels felt massive to me and not necessary never ending, but I remember being impressed with the length. I really want to sit down and play through this sometime in the near future, if for nothing else, to complete the story.
Fantastic game for the most part. The combat mechanics are awesome and the art style was unique and fun. The lock on and camera controls could get you into trouble sometimes. There was also a few crashes that I had on the steam version of the game. A few pieces of the game did not feel very polished but overall I feel it was worth the issues.
A marvelous adventure and an overlooked gem that has aged like fine wine over the decade. The world is picturesque and the uncanny yet befitting dialogue of the characters does the story of Alice in Wonderland justice. The story is dark and touches upon Alice's psyche as a theme about the perception of reality. It emits a strangely lasting, lingering influence which keeps you wanting to play more. It is truly a majestic experience you will not find in any other game that is rooted in reality.
also i looked up this game on youtube and it jarred me to see that so many big youtubers are STILL playing it! the most recent popular video was by 8bitryan and a year ago, but it's jarring to see that a game from 2011 is still relevant. then again, a good majority of the stuff i like isn't very relevant, haha.
