Alto sets off on his snowboard to recapture them. Alto is a llama herder whose llamas have escaped and run down the mountain. Narrative is rather thin in The Alto Collection. Sometimes it’s the games with the simplest visuals that can look the most stunning in big bright high resolution, and The Alto Collection is a gorgeous showcase of color and sound, both relaxing and energizing all at the same time. The visuals don’t require a big 65-inch 4K screen, but they sure look great once they are there. The sidescrolling snowboarding (sandboarding in Odyssey) games are simple adventures, and on paper, it sure seems like they are a better fit for mobile.

The Alto Collection brings Alto’s Adventure and its sequel, Alto’s Odyssey, into a single package. It may sound strange to be excited for the port of a mobile game to console, but the moment I heard The Alto Collection was coming to PS4, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the zen one-button endless runner snowboarder on a huge screen.
