Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City

iOS, Apple Arcade (Noodlecake Studios)

With its jumps, somersaults, rope grinds, and balloon bounces, the third installment of Alto's Odyssey is actually more of a special version for Apple Arcade. It also includes a lost map whose fragments you must recover among the ruins.

The rest of the day, it's business as usual—lightly mesmerizing downhill skiing on an undulating desert, where biomes seamlessly transition into one another and it always seems to be either golden hour or dusk.

Even though it could seem like this is just more of the same, when the original is this strong, more is definitely a good thing.

Join Alto and his friends on an endless sandboarding journey to find The Lost City and unearth the secrets hidden within. Soar above windswept dunes, traverse thrilling canyons, explore ancient temples and delve into vast caverns in a fantastical place far from home.

On this journey, you’ll grind across vines, bounce atop hot air balloons, ride towering rock walls, glide in your wingsuit, and escape mischievous lemurs – all while uncovering the desert’s many mysteries.
