Major rip off. 2 years after release the bugs remain unaddressed. We all played Oregon Trail in elementary school, dl the original game for a much better experience.
Beamdog fills the game with their tone deaf OC characters who stick out like sore thumbs and really break the immersion of the world. Play the Originals instead if you want to truly experience these classics.
The game crashes on startup. Lots of nostalgia for this game but 1 star because I can't even make it to the menu screen.
Everything about this game is great except the combat and the dungeons which are both atrocious. The rest of it is good enough to warrant a five star rating from me. The world building and the character development are still unparalleled to this day. You can even play a character that is zero percent combat focused. A common complaint I've read is exp is based on landing hits, this isn't entirely true, you do gain exp when your companion vanquishes an enemy as well as by completing quests, and seeing as you will reach max level well before the end of the game it doesn't matter.
