A whole new group of players will finally be able to see what millions of others have discovered as they explore the ivory snows and the endless desert on the big screen in one collection. Join mountain shepherd Alto and friends as they set out to rescue their escaped llamas and find the adventure of a lifetime. In this collection, you will journey across the beautiful alpine hills of their native wilderness and soar above windswept dunes in a fantastical place far from home. Each procedurally-generated run provides new inspiration and a fresh set of challenges that seamlessly blends our unique landscapes together. Throughout the journey you’ll meet new friends and escape adversaries with clever combinations of expertly timed inputs. As you test your limits, fortune will favour the bold. Each backflip and successfully landed trick grants a temporary speed boost, allowing you to reach new heights and make it further down the mountain. Misjudge the timing of a backflip or the execution of a jump, and you’ll find yourself in a crash landing at the end of your run. As players progress through the terrain, they’ll earn upgrades, harness new abilities, and uncover the many mysteries that each game hold. An endless journey full of wonder awaits just over the crest of the next summit.… Expand

    The Alto Collection whilst somewhat repetitive is a joy to play. It successfully captures an ethereal beauty, which makes for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. It combines being an addictive score chaser with accessibility, creating perhaps the best endless runner out there.

    The Alto Collection console release is more or less a straight port of the mobile titles made to work on a big screen with a controller. That’s not a bad thing at all, as the mobile releases were deservingly award-winning games, but it’s a missed opportunity to make some slight UI and gameplay optimizations that could have really polished the experience on console. Still, The Alto Collection is deserving of your attention, a peaceful mountain adventure that’s designed to be played in short spurts, but almost impossible to put down once you get going. “Just one more run,” never looked so beautiful or felt so zen.

    This mobile-to-console port is a resounding success as Snowman has been able to ensure The Alto Collection is successful in capturing the player and transporting them to varying worlds of simplistic beauty, as well as consistently presenting challenges that will keep the player guessing what's coming next. Through several obstacles, perilous chasms, and cleverly designed maps, each experience that this has to offer is guaranteed to be unique, fun, and a welcome addition to anyone's library.

    Originally a duo of mobile games, The Alto Collection brings two beautiful endless runners to PlayStation 4. There are more words in this game's title than there are buttons to learn; press X to jump, hold it to backflip, and that's it. These ultra-simple controls will see you shredding snow or surfing sand as you slide forever downhill, racking up points, collecting coins, and pushing for a new distance record.

    The Alto Collection contains two great-looking mobile games which also happen to be some of the more competent endless runner games available today. Both worked perfectly on mobile, but The Alto Collection as a whole lose some of its charm in the move to new platforms. The repetition can be a little draining over time, but The Alto Collection is still a solid port of two great time-wasters, and if that's what players are in the market for, there's plenty here to like.
