## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not an accurate depiction.

*2026-08-01, version 1.0*

As an og Oregon Trail top ten scorer, this game fell well short of my standards. It was nothing like my experience on the trail, and my people kept dying with no dysentery. I completed the quest in less than two minutes, a time that gives no justice to the many months our ancestors foraged and risked their lives for a new beginning. Oregano Trail has dishonored their legacy and I will not tolerate another minute (which would’ve gotten me halfway). I am EXTREMELY disappointed and have spent more time writing this than I did completing the game.

### 1/5 — Why…just why

*2026-07-28, version 1.0*

The original Oregon trail would actually show people walking to their next location and eating their food and stuff but then I play this and when you hit continue instantly next 
Location i heated the game in ten seconds first try 5 out of 5 people survived with like full health

### 1/5 — Too short

*2026-07-27, version 1.0*

This game is so short i finished the game in ten seconds

### 3/5 — Not the same

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.0*

You skip so much and it so easy it’s like a one and done thing

### 3/5 — So much potential, so incomplete

*2026-07-17, version 1.0*

They’ve got the UI and gameplay down pretty much perfect, but it plays only a single chapter of the original from the plains. Where’s the rest of the game?  I have to assume this is either a demo or still under development.

### 4/5 — Get ready for 3 minutes of ok-ish fun

*2026-07-24, version 1.0*

I haven’t played a game so short and I used to LOVE the Oregon trail as a kid

### 4/5 — 4 stars

*2026-07-22, version 1.0*

Pretty good but it’s way too short. Also you can’t make kids, it’s all adults

### 4/5 — Please fix this issue

*2026-07-19, version 1.0*

The only thing I don’t like about this game is every time I go to buy supplies. I can’t get out of the number menu and end up having to just exit. It makes no sense.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2026-07-24, version 1.0*

Like the one I remember on DOS. I like it so far. No ads.

### 5/5 — True to the original, but lacking more

*2026-07-22, version 1.0*

This is just like the original, but it is missing sections. I played this game for 3 minutes and finished a run through. I really hope there is still more to come!

Updated: thank you Mike for your prompt response! I’m excited to hear that there is in fact more to come and the game is in development.
