Comment on Mid games review: American McGee's Alice (2000) and Alice: Madness Returns (2011) PS3
frozengriever@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoI enjoy playing mid games, and while I don’t regret the time I spent playing, they are less enjoyable on a moment to moment basis than truly good games.
I thought the sequel was a logical progression with how Alice would still have PTSD from the trauma she went through and how Victorian era London was not the best environment for someone with such mental issues.

Yeah, I totally get it. Old (and only mid) games can be a real coin toss between fun and tedium. Quality of the game doesn’t affect my enjoyment too much but I understand that it can be an important factor for others (and even that can vary between games).
I can see your point about the story and I would really love to approach it from this perspective, for some reason I’m just unable to do so unfortunately. No idea why, I just can’t. I have a much easier time seeing a reason for a third game (rip) considering the ending of Madness Returns but we all know how that went.
