It improves upon the original in almost every way with more varied gameplay, stunning new visuals, and a beautiful new soundtrack. In conclusion, Alto’s Odyssey is a solid sequel to an already prolific original. Despite the one-button mechanics, the game never feels boring or overly simplistic. The art style for all the background objects, such as the trees, the balloons, the flowing water, the structures, and the little animals that join you on your journey is magnificent.

The term Sand People was given to them due to their existence in the desert, and was in use from at least around 4000. Then there are the wonderful weather effects such as rain, thunderstorm, snow, and the piercing afternoon sun.

This, along with the procedurally generated levels, ensures the game always looks different every time you play it. The time of the day and weather keeps changing while you are in the game, independent of whether you are playing or not or which mode you are in. The static camera angle viewing The Room from the far side is incredibly striking for the viewer, though it is unclear whether the dunes have a purpose beyond just being aesthetic. Like the previous game, this one, too, has a 24 hour day and night cycle with different weather. For instance, in Stalker when the three characters emerge from the meat grinder, they find themselves in a spacious and eerie room filled with miniature sand dunes. Alto’s Adventure VS Alto’s OdysseyĪlto’s Adventure was always a pretty game but Alto’s Odyssey looks stunning, with a gorgeous set of color palettes painting the desert landscape across the day. In Odyssey’s “Workshop”, the player can spend coins they collected in order to upgrade power-ups or unlock new abilities and features. The game also retains the challenge system of the first game, where completing challenges allows the player to level up and unlock new characters.
