The sequel to one of my favorite 3D platformers always had a janky PC port, but a huge fanmade patch just dropped in hopes to fix it

American McGee's Alice has a sequel called Madness Returns, which faced issues on PC since its 2011 release due to a problematic port. A modder named Wemino has created a custom patch called MadnessPatch to enhance the gaming experience. Key improvements of the patch include upgraded textures, correctly scaling subtitles for resolutions above 720p, optimized camera for ultrawide resolutions, stability fixes for crashes and broken physics at high framerates, and support for windowed mode. The mod has received positive feedback from fans and approval from American McGee. Despite McGee's attempts to persuade EA to support a third installment, he has abandoned the idea due to the company's lack of interest. Madness Returns is available on Steam for ten dollars, while the original Alice game is not currently available on digital storefronts.

Motorslice is a shot of liquid nostalgia for the PS1-era action platformers I was too young to play—with a dash of Shadow of the Colossus in there for good measure

Motorslice is a game showcased during Steam Next Fest that features a protagonist named P, who wields a chainsaw blade and navigates a brutalist megastructure. The gameplay mechanics require careful movement, reminiscent of early Tomb Raider games, and include a unique ability to glide across surfaces during boss fights, similar to Shadow of the Colossus. The game employs pixelated textures and dust particle effects to evoke nostalgia. While the character P is charming, some dialogue options may disrupt immersion. Motorslice is currently available for play on Steam.
