Is this worth $15?

[Girthquake]

Is this worth the price of admission or am I just better off with 5th edition?

[FalcoPhoenix821]

I think it is. I was waiting for it to go on sale.

I got it from a pirate and still decided to buy it. Beautiful game very well thought out.

Just bought it. Immediately the first screen is talking about how westerners moving west was an invasion of the Indians and how they changed the game to show a more realistic version of the oregon trail in regards to the indians and their plight.

Immediate refund. I just wanted to play the oregon trail maybe with some updated graphics.

Maybe its minor changes, but i'm not willing to take the chance.

Is your brain really so soft that making historically accurate alterations offends you

I completed a run and dropped it, it was certainly something just not what I was looking for, and not worth my money when there are other games to keep me busy for longer and a similar price.

I bought it, but I can't open it. I searched for a fix to the error message & tried it, but that just gives me a different error message. The game crashes every single time.

Absolutely worth $15

It def is if you get into it. It´s on the easier side of things until you unlock the more challenging maps and modes, but the game is gorgeous and it´s damn fun. I still think The Organ Trail it´s far better and gets closer to be a true successor of the OG Oregon Trail, but this remake it´s quite pleasent. I´m around 70 hours registered and still missing to do some stuff and grind for some cheevos, but even if you are not a completionist there´s enough content here, for 15$/€ it´s a good trade off.

That´s not what the message says, it just says it has tried to represent the people of the first nations on a more realistic light, which fits for a series that has always being sold as historical and educational yet has ignored a big portion of American history. Only thing this means is that there are indian characters and they are varied, both those who stick to their traditions and those who have blended better with the incoming migrants from Europe, and there´s one quest on the DLCs about the real historical treaty among tribes. Again, it´s just a game sold as historical being historical, THE HORROR!!

If historical accuracy "triggers" you, then by all means, do not play this game, or any for that matter, since even fictional games do take inspiration from actual historical events or periods.

Yish, people this days will get ways to get offended by just about anything. Cool way to live your life, lmao.

hell no

I don't think it is, but the primary reason why imo, is that the game is intended to be an exercise in preparation and preparedness combined with dealing with the unexpected happening.

Instead, I've got a preset selection of consumables I can pick up, of all things having knives being locked behind a side story, and a selection of people so clueless and careless that despite not being allowed to go hunting (all the question spots hide what's present and no person you can talk to can reveal what path leads to what kind of encounter: camp, fishing spot, hunting spot, etc.) the rifle [which you automatically just have] is improperly stowed and discharges injuring a member of the group.

As just a game it may be alright, but as a learning implement it is so ridiculously subpar that i think it's sad.

I had the similar feeling during my short playtime, it's nothing like the original game at all. It might be worth $15 to some people but not me.

Not to mention my age here (4$), but I played the original on an Apple 2GS computer which is ancient. Yes this is worth the $15 or if you want top wait and find it sale, got for it.

Personally, its a game everyone should have just because it is fun and a game that doesn't require much out of the player besides making general decisions.

Yes, this plays the same as the original but has a lot of extras and far better graphics than the original game.

Love it!! Get it!

[SoulSteppe]

Game has hours and hours of fun to it.
