Alto and his friends have moved from snowboarding mountains to sandboarding dunes. Alto’s Odyssey breaks the sequel mold continuing what made Alto’s Adventure great, and subtly build upon it. It's a beautiful and compelling game choice that can be enjoyed by any level of gamer.

New mechanics. Alto's Odyssey takes place in the desert, and there are new game mechanics to help you out. Jump in tornadoes for a lift, ride walls, and jump off of hot air balloons.
The workshop returns. There are many upgrades and items you can purchase in the workshop to improve your runs. But careful, as they can be costly.
Use power-ups wisely. You'll find random power-ups on your run. Use these to your advantage to collect every coin, smash through rocks, and more.
What is it about?
Alto’s Odyssey continues every aspect listed above to let you get lost in the world, and yet still be focused on every shifting slope of the downhill. The basis is then set to build upon it by transporting Alto from the snowy mountains to the shifting dunes for a new sandboarding challenge. The new locale introduces three distinct biomes to travel through with a desert, canyon, and temple. Each area has their own differentiator including the wall ride in the canyon and water flow in the temple that are variations from the previous installment as well. The best part is that on long runs, you can travel between multiple biomes and even if you don’t you can appreciate the procedurally generated intricacies for variations within a biome between runs.
Why we love it
For any endless game, the biggest question is replay factor. Alto’s Odyssey doesn’t reinvent the wheel, so there’s some hesitancy from the get go. Instead, the game focuses on more compelling missions and unlockables. Each biome is unlockable from the get go for initial replay intrigue, especially since future missions are based on specific biomes. For example, you may need to wall ride into a backflip into a grind, or ride a water flow into a coin pot. These missions always seem within reach at the outset, and most emphasize picking them up in one run. When you start up Alto’s Odyssey, you can focus on missions, unlockables, or simply taking a break from a busy day to zone out of your world, and at the same zone in on Alto’s world. The missions are more compelling, the biomes are more intriguing, and the overarching structure emphasizes a greater flow as you feel like you’re traveling somewhere even within an endless concept.
