Launching in February 2015 at a pay-once price of $1.99, controls were simple enough to attract a broad audience. It was always going to be hard for Team Alto to follow on from Adventure. I definitely think there’s a much greater sense of life and vibrancy this time around.”

An expansive world that’s easy to pick up and put down, Odyssey retains the winning formula that made its predecessor a success on the small screen. Players soar through gorgeous waterfalls, bounce off balloons and ride across rock walls. Alto’s Odyssey, which launched Wednesday, is a downhill boarding games that captures the meditative snowy art style of 2015’s Alto’s Adventure and brings it to an ever-changing desert landscape. One of the greatest iOS games of all time is back.
