Lonely Mountains is an example of the simple formulas games can use that I will never grow tired of. Top of the mountain? Want to ski down? How about you push yourself with challenges? It doesn't need to be more complicated than that. Yet this sequel game exceeds in having a unique polygonal art style that makes tracks and shortcuts easily readable. A calming presence that invites you to just spend time. That never overstays its welcome. This game is sequel to a mountain bike riding processor (which is also loads of fun.) The single player of this entry is exactly what you would expect, with the added bonus of the snow on these mountains allowing you to see your paths that you have traversed when you undoubtedly crash. The added multiplayer is also novel, in that you potentially have more to explore on the mountains reaches, though there isn't much to it beyond a race to the bottom/scoring events. Still, it could be what you and some friends are looking for. It's not a long experience, but it has stuck with me even after I completed the treks down its beautiful slopes.
