I can’t wait to string together ridiculous combos with balloons. I love that Odyssey did this – instead of giving me everything at once, they tease a new element, but it’s not quite in reach just yet. But that will all change when I unlock the wingsuit. The problem with balloons right now is most of the time they’re too high to bounce on. However, I haven’t yet fully explored that of the first biome: balloons. These not only make the biomes unique from each other, but it makes each one unique from Adventure.Ĭurrently, wall riding is my favorite new element. But it only got better from there.Īs I entered the third and final biome, there something else new: water! It was at this point that I realized every biome of the game had a new element. They had innovated, and they had given me a new behavior to learn about and master. To me, this one new feature was enough to make this whole game worthwhile. It’s a new trick, a new obstacle, and a new paradigm to master. This is where we’re introduced to the concept of wall riding. I first realized this when I reached the second “biome” of the game.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.Īlto’s Odyssey takes everything I loved about Alto’s Adventure and adds so much more to it. Which was… okay… but I was a little disappointed. When I first downloaded Alto’s Odyssey – the newly available sequel – I thought it was going to basically be the same game, but with new challenges.
