If you're curious about the game and symbolism, check out my vid here, I go really in-depth there:

Pros:
1. The visuals. Absolutely stunning! When I was making my video and analyzing the imagery the game uses I came to the conclusion that literally everything in this game is very intentional and connected. All the symbols, all the little details, all the objects that create distincitve Wonderland chapters. And that's what made me fall in love with the game, it's not just gorgeous, it's also very deliberate if you pay attention. You get 5 very distinguished linear chapters with their own unique vibe to explore!
2. The story. It's just great, with the twist at the end. I'm not even sure that this kind of story can be made into a game in 2026 anymore.
3. The music! Honestly, for the longest time I was at a loss what music to use in my videos and dnd campaigns. THIS is perfect. Mysterious, twisted a little, just right.
4. Gameplay. I played on the hardest difficulty and had fun, some fights felt kind of tight. Weapons are fun, upgrading them is also fun, throughout the playthrough you get new weapons from time to time and sometimes even game mechanics. As a pve it's ok, as a platformer it's a lot of fun. It's a joy to explore the world and collect all the little memories of Alice's that let you know more about the story and the characters.
5. Voice acting! Top notch (especially comparing to other cult classics of the era), a joy to listen to the characters.
6. If you read through the guides, there are means to unlock more outfits and the first game American Mcgee's Alice, so that's a huge bonus. Though I can't guarantee that it will work, it doesn't for some people >.<

Cons:
It's an old game so there will be technical difficulties. Sometimes the target lock doesn't work, sometimes dodge, sometimes you get stuck etc. It feels a little cranky but it didn't ruin the vibe for me, personally. There's a chance that you'll get crashes or it won't run properly as well, be mindful of that.

Overall:
This is the cult classics, gamerrs! It's beloved for a reason and still hold up in 2026.

10/10

Pretty good game, but that's not why I'm leaving a negative review.

It's because the PC port is basically as bad as ports get. It's locked to 31fps, there's no "proper" way to get the DLC content, and even though the game can support really good ultrawide, all 3 of these things have to be resolved via messing with the game's files, which can be risky if you're not careful. Add to that the frequent enough bug that happens when the game's on the loading screen and just stays on it...forever, and I just can't in good conscience recommend the Steam version (even if you got it for free), unless you're willing to make tweaks to simply make it playable.
