March 2025

The Oregon Trail is a classic game that your parents probably played that has charm that has endured to this day. Going ahead and reviewing because I've already played the whole game on switch -- I still love it, and I love it enough to get it again on Steam. I really enjoy it, and it's a game that my friends and I like to play together and watch as the game unfolds and name the characters after ourselves and laugh at us getting dysentery and getting shot by a rifle tipping over in the wagon or getting stampeded -- the list goes on and on. It's simple, and it's a game that I don't play for long at a time, but it's a fun and strangely calming experience.

I've been playing Oregon Trail since the 80s when I was a kid playing on my school's Apple II's. While nowhere near as difficult as the original, the spirit of the game and the educational value remain intact. In fact, with the journal entries and the added quests, you can learn a little more about this period of American history! I absolutely love it, even though yes, the fishing minigame makes it kind of easy even on hard mode if the RNG is kind to you. I wouldn't have programmed fishing to be so imbalanced if it were me. Basically you can fish yourself into riches and even a level 1 fisherman can easily catch fish. Add the minigame with the lady who gives you free bait AND money AND catching nets, and it can pretty much break the game. My only other gripe with this game is that I can't choose my careers, I only get to choose from 3 randomly selected choices for each of my 4 party members. With all the available new careers, it makes mixing and matching virtually impossible, it's hope that the RNG loves you, basically. And the RNG sometimes does REALLY cruel things to you, like make you sick immediately after you're forced to choose whether to toss your last medicine or your last clothes when your wagon is full. You'll definitely get dysentery at some point, it's Oregon Trail, baby! Other than that, it's basically you against the RNG to see if you can make it to Oregon City with your party intact! I love all the game modes, I love the amount of content vs the price asked, this is a nicely crafted game that pays reverence to the original AND to its subject matter. High YES from me. I don't even know what to call this kind of game. Roguelike with historic voyage theme and inventory management game? If that doesn't appeal to you, you probably aren't going to buy this. Everyone else, come try out Oregon Trail! It's a classic that I am glad is still with us!

Oct. 2024

Engaging with a diversity of modes, loads of replay value, and many, many things to collect and challenges for which to hone your skills over many attempts. The art style is simple and pleasant. The music is gorgeous. The only thing I disliked somewhat was how long it took and how tedious it could be trying to obtain the very rarest achievements. For example, getting a trophy quality specimen of every fishing species and encountering every single cryptid in the Cowboys and Critters DLC, but I was able to get them all in just over 200 hours, so it could be worse, and even those 200 hours were pretty enjoyable.

If you played this as I kid you will enjoy this game. It stays pretty close to the original and they offer a couple variations in game play. One being classic. You have decisions to make and dysentery & typhoid are still wreaking havoc on the travelers. You hunt, fish, trade hope catastrophe doesn't strike. When it does it's usually a broken down wagon, bandits or sickness. They have updated the story to include a more accurate depiction of native americans, you name your own party members and try to keep their morale up as well as keep them alive. It's easy, fun to play and a nice trip down memory lane.

May 2024

This is a fun game with enough modern touches that it simultaneously makes you feel like a kid in the computer lab and also a geriatric adult who is about to shit their pants. I like it and I am going to keep playing it. I didn't get paid to write this, nor did I wait for it to go on sale. I am also writing a review online which I am generally not moved to do. Also, my opinion doesn't matter and I am dumb as hell.
