A nice little homage to the 1985 version of The Oregon Trail that doesn't take itself too seriously, with lots of references to other zombie media. (The Left 4 Dead references especially are a nice touch.) The [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/408300/Organ_Trail__Final_Cut_Expansion/]Final Cut DLC is pretty much required, since it adds a lot more stuff and makes the game more engaging; without it the game is literally a 1:1 remake of the '85 Oregon Trail game. Instead of selecting a profession, there's four difficulty levels plus an endless mode, so you can play casually or challenge yourself if you wish. I'm pretty sure there's more minigames than in Oregon Trail, too. Almost all the game's graphics are something you could see on an Apple II, and even the button pressing sounds are reminiscent of key presses on an old keyboard. If I had to make criticisms, I have a couple relatively minor ones: the bandit/zombie deer road events are more tedious than anything, and the final boss literally comes out of nowhere. Also, some achievements are broken and require following [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2193603130]this guide to restore functionality. Still, Organ Trail is pretty good and I'd recommend it as a nice throwback and fun twist of the Oregon Trail formula.

I've apparently played "Organ Trail" for a total of three hours (not in a row, mind you), and I've completed the campaign on normal. Did I enjoy the game? Well, I immediately turned around and started a new game on endless mode. The game play loop (to me, at least) is rather satisfying, and I could even see this being someone's comfort game. When aboard your trusty station wagon, you automatically travel between major stops while random events pop (or don't pop) every so often and affect your stats. One of your passengers could suddenly (and inexplicably) break a rib, ruin a spare car part, let one in the confines of the vehicle, or discover money in their pockets - seemingly anything from groan-inducing to amusing could happen. In towns, you're able to take any available jobs (which indicate the difficulty and reward), buy and sell, upgrade your car when possible, rest to restore your passengers' health, and go scavenging (preferably when zombie activity is medium or low). It seems obvious to say that you'll pursue what supplies you have fewer of, but what you're hurting for - or delightedly swimming in, resource-wise - depends an awful lot on the random events and how well you manage at the mini-games. Ah, yes: the mini-games. For the most part, I quite like them, and there's a decent variety to enjoy (or dread). I've already mentioned scavenging (which involves avoiding zombies on a fixed screen while scooping up any supplies that spawn), but there are also purely combat mini-games or random events that get your vehicle involved or put the life of one of your passengers at risk. If you don't enjoy the mini-games, I assume that you won't enjoy "Organ Trail"; though I liked the majority of them. The mix of levity and horror, simple (but generally fun) mini-games, random nonsense, resource management, and nostalgic graphics made this game very attractive to me, and I've definitely enjoyed all three hours of narrowly dodging corpses, shooting bandits, and contending with the occasional boss zombie. If you give "Organ Trail" a chance, I hope you get that one passenger who repeatedly reads the map upside down, loses supplies, or costs you an hour vomiting by the side of the road - there's always a chance you'll get to put them down after they're bitten by a zombie.

2 hours for each dollar and I enjoyed it. Good game. Minor complaint: - Resting could heal the player without having to follow after David from "The Mist", Since it takes up resources regardless. - I hated the "Friends" (except Clements) and felt like they did more harm than good in more aspects than just food consumption. - Should be able to sell car parts As for what I liked - The scavenging system was a good interpretation of the original and fun on its own - The shops, whilst sometimes annoying, felt unique and you have to improvise every run off of what is in stock - The events were fun (though I hated the boss battles, I thought they were also a fun addition even if they ruin my hunting trips) - The humor in this game does not take itself too seriously. - The plot, whilst basic, was all that was needed to make me enjoy the game. - The scenarios are funny (once I had an angry chef mollywhop me because I disliked his food, I won a battery from a cup game) - The game is good for killing time Aside from my 3 complaints (2/3 problems can be solved by killing your friends :D), I liked this game. My first and second runs were failures, but my third run was a successful hardcore campaign.

This Game is the Bomb, not only I can live my boomer years from my computer class past, but it's a modern take on Oregon Trail which is super fun, Especially when I can add my irl friends in it for insane experience, that is worth wild. Thank you game devs for making this once in a life time experience. To everyone seeing this review, please give this game a shot, for what is worth you won't be disappointed.

I bought this game thinking it was Death Road to Canada but this game was quite fun anyway. I love the Oregon Trail type games.
