It’s fast paced with a reimagined and expanded take on the original game. However, I made it to the Blue Mountains but it freezes and crashes every time I go to a campsite. I have to avoid them or restart the game ### 4/5 — Fun but *2026-06-05, version 2.1.1* Such a mess. Depressing. Confusing. So many obstacles to gameplay. This feels like a job ### 5/5 — Takes you back! *2026-05-31, version 2.1.1* I played this in school as a kid and loved it, playing it again is amazing! This updated version is incredible, very addictive and I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Cool educational historical supa fun game! *2026-05-29, version 2.1.1* 😄👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏻 ### 5/5 — H *2026-05-22, version 2.1.1* So fun!!! I learned a lot to! ### 4/5 — NICE NEW GAME *2026-05-17, version 2.1.1* REALLY COOL REMAKE OF CLASSIC GAME ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-05-16, version 2.1.1* Great game, cant stop playing! Love the different adventures you can see! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2026-05-13, version 2.1.1* NO ADS NO INTERRUPTIONS NO WI-FI NEEDED. I LOVE IT but I would love if they added pets to the game. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-13, version 2.1.1* A very educational game well having fun for a 9 year old that’s pretty nice ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-05-07, version 2.1.1* I can’t even begin to tell you how many hours I have spent playing this. Well…to be frank, I played until I got bored as I played all the scenarios. A new update with more choices and options would be spectacular. ### 5/5 — Peak game *2026-05-02, version 2.1.1* Yes try, really uhh good trust. Yea ### 5/5 — Good fun *2026-04-26, version 2.1.1* Good game. I enjoy the D&D style randomness. There is a bit of skill involved in knowing what to pack, but no two runs are the same. It was fun to see how much easier some of the events because with the right mix of settlers, especially opening up the prospector for the gold rush. The main reason I decided I'd had enough was the endless inventory Tetris. It makes sense in the context of a wagon, but I was desperate for an auto-organize button to just move on if my wagon got a hole. ### 5/5 — Perfect just one question *2026-04-24, version 2.1.1* Can you have pets on the trail in my opinion that would make this game even more fun than it already is which is super fun already, just a suggestion that would give me a even better time, like there could be a whole trail where you can collect different types of pets that were around like horses and that stuff 🙏 ### 5/5 — A wonderful journey *2026-04-23, version 2.1.1* This game is great, and I’ve been following it for years now. The replayability is endless, and I don’t think I’ve ever been bored from it. However, I wish it was still updated. There’s a huge market for a game like this, and I think with a relaunch and a major update that community could be reached. Great game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Liberal *2026-08-03, version 2.1.1* Cancelled Apple Arcade over your little liberal message ### 1/5 — Now they require an APPLE ARCADE SUBSCRIPTION *2026-06-02, version 2.1.1* now we have to pay a freaking apple subscription to play. disgusting greed. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. Devs have ruined it *2026-05-22, version 2.1.1* It was fun at release and until maybe two or three updates ago. Now it’s practically impossible for so many reasons and has had me slap my MacBook shut so many times that I’ve uninstalled it. This DOES NOT belong in the Arcade anymore. This has turned into a point of stupid frustration and pathetic development. They took a game where you could complete it and added so much unnecessary CRAPPPPPPP that it is now impossible to beat. God forbid you try to take advantage and use the features they give you, all that happens then is instant injuries, illnesses, apparently the people in your team will now revolt or waste food. Then there’s the stupid BS about Native Americans that nobody asked for. These developers SHOULD BE KICKED OFF THE APP STORE. Report this GaMe for being a trap. THESE DEVELOPERS SUCK!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Garb *2026-04-20, version 2.1.1* Not original oregon trail. Too much nonsense and bag graphics ### 1/5 — Woke bs *2026-04-12, version 2.1.1* Can you liberals stop ruining everything? Thanks. ### 1/5 — Added and deleted. Woke! *2026-02-11, version 2.1.1* This game has gone woke! NO THANKS! This is liberal grooming, just fyi! ### 1/5 — Sad... *2026-02-09, version 2.1.1* I was looking forward to play and updated version of an old favorite, but I couldn't even get past the first loading screen and deleted it. I'm all for your freadom of speech and your views, but don't taint the name of this great game with this woke view.. ### 1/5 — Sneaky WOKE Identity politics *2026-01-30, version 2.1.1* I didn’t come here to be lectured on your opinions and inaccurate takes on history. It’s just lazy the way you sneak in your propaganda, your woke identity politics and virtual signaling at the very beginning of the game. I will play the original Oregon Trail, the FUN version not ashamed or offended of its history, but PROUD of it and its heritage… ### 1/5 — Woke Trash *2026-01-24, version 2.1.1* America was not “stolen”. It was conquered. You lost me from the very first screen talking about how the natives were invaded. Take this woke trash elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Mmm *2025-12-16, version 2.1.1* I soft locked my self because my only party member had the anxious trait witch means they can’t perform wit skill checks and I was in a part of the game where I NEED a wit skill check to continue my game so I had to restart my game and it was so horrible that I had to do that FIX THE GAME ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quiche game *2026-09-06, version 2.1.1* I fw it ### 5/5 — Fortnite *2026-08-27, version 2.1.1* I love this game so much because there is so many new updates and i just love the new sprites and all the guns ### 5/5 — Oregon Trail Is The Best! *2026-08-09, version 2.1.1* This game is a OG and I love it! It is like new era games yet still like the older version! This is one of my favorite games! GO OREGON TRAIL! OREGON OR BUST!😂 ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-08-09, version 2.1.1* Awesome game! Highly recommend because it is super fun, accurate, and addictive. A bit glitchy, but over all 10/10 ### 5/5 — Five stars for sure *2026-08-03, version 2.1.1* I love this game. It’s so fun and I could only see one review that had less than five stars and I had four stars. Anyways, great game I really suggest it. it’s a really fun way to learn too. ### 5/5 — absolute perfect game! *2026-07-31, version 2.1.1* This is a great game I like that there are no micro transactions(that I know of) and it’s a really good choice making game I just love the game overall! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-12, version 2.1.1* Incredible game, I’m surprised more people don’t play this! ### 5/5 — Cedar Creek Elementary School *2026-07-02, version 2.1.1* Is where I first played this game on the computer I. Our computer lab ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-06-14, version 2.1.1* Hard at times but it’s still so worth playing ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-06-08, version 2.1.1* Such a fun and educational game.
