I can't deny that this game is aesthetically very appealing. I don't know if is that I just burnt myself out on free-runners during the first few years of iOS/Android gaming or if Alto's Odyssey simply doesn't bring anything new to the table to make it feel fresh, but I didn't feel drawn or compelled to playing more than the few hours I put into the game.
This is almost exactly the same game as Alto's Adventure, but they added awful balloon jumps and somehow made chasms much harder to jump. I have no idea how but i couldn't even get past the chasm in the tutorial, it never was a problem in the first game. It also has all of the same flaws, they basically learnt nothing.
Incredibly fun and rewarding, I just wish there was more to do once the challenges run out.
This is free on the Epic Store this week as part of the Alto collection:

Been playing the hell out of this all day. I don't know what it is that makes this infinite runner feel so much better than others I've played, but I'm very hooked. It has a nice progression system where you have to complete challenges to 'Level Up,' and I think that's part of it. I'm not so much focused on the endless "get a good score" which can be unsatisfactory. I constantly feel like I'm building towards something and sharpening my skills while doing so. It's also just super pretty too.
