Alto's Odyssey is the rare sequel that manages to be both familiar and entirely fresh. While the snowy peaks of the first game were iconic, the vast desert dunes, hidden canyons, and temple cities of Odyssey provide a much richer visual palette. The addition of wall-riding adds a layer of verticality that makes the trick system feel more fluid and expressive than ever before.
What truly makes Odyssey special is the atmosphere. The dynamic lighting as the sun sets over the dunes, the sound of the wind, and the serene music create a meditative state. It’s a game that works perfectly in short bursts, but can just as easily suck you in for an hour. Zen Mode remains the best feature for those days when you just want to enjoy the scenery without worrying about scores or crashes. It is mobile gaming at its most refined.
Available on: Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, iPod
