Alto's Odyssey - Remastered (2021) [+]

Alto's Odyssey - Remastered is an updated version on Apple Arcade. I have and enjoyed Alto's Odyssey and at first glance it's hard to see what's new.

I think the big new addition is one new biome: The Lost City (hence the old title Alto's Oddysey: The Lost City). It's more ancient ruins and introduces special Lost City goals that run parallel to your normal "three goals per level".

Otherwise though I think it's the same game so if you have Alto's Odyssey you don't need to get Apple Arcade to play a 10% better version.

But if you do have Apple Arcade and haven't played previous Alto games then give it a shot. It's a chill endless runner where you are snowboarding down sand dunes doing flips and grinds. It has different characters each which changes what you can do a bit. Lots of challenges urge you to do a bit better each time and as you level up the game gradually adds more stuff. Quite fun.
