    It has the resource management of a X-Com game, zombies, a ton of fun mini games such as fishing, a job board with missions that reward you with food or ammo, and an endless horde mode (complete with silly humor too). All in all, it’s a perfect all around package for only $9.99 that you can’t go wrong with.

    The game is plain and simple better on PC. If you've ever played Oregon Trail, you've basically played Organ Trail. It's basically a zombieThe game is plain and simple better on PC. If you've ever played Oregon Trail, you've basically played Organ Trail. It's basically a zombie themed remake that is actually a lot easier, on PC. I'm sure you're wondering what I mean by that, and I'll cut right to it. One of the biggest things about Organ trail is the scavenging and boss fights (in the Complete Edition at least). In order to aim you have to pull the right analog stick BACK in the OPPOSITE direction of your target. As a veteran in gaming from the classic NES days, I thought this would be fine. I was wrong. You see, on PC you can put the cursor on the zombie, and then pull back to almost always hit them. On PS4 you can't do this and many sections are now left up to blind firing as pull back, adjust aim using a doted line, and press button to fire, is MUCH MUCH SLOWER than click, drag, release.

    I'm sure someone is scoffing, "That just takes getting used to." And you're right, it does, but the sections where it's so necessary to survive feel appallingly unfair, even on easy, and it's worse when ammo is scarce. Frankly, there's no need for the game to play like this other than developer whim. It doesn't add to the game and detracts from the experience on PS4. If PC were equally as difficult we could call it a design choice, imitate a scared survivor in the apocalypse by making aiming hard, but since it's as easy as breathing on PC and as hard as eating a bowl of nails on PS4, it's an issue.

    But, if you're willing to stick with it there's a really good game here, assuming you can't buy it on Steam and like the Oregon Trail games.
