Editor review
Reel Trek is a polar expedition adventure with resource management and weather modelling. Eight-hour campaign across one expedition.
What works is the resource-management tension. Food, fuel, equipment all deplete over time.
Eight hours of campaign with procedurally seeded route.
Tested over four weekend sessions from Glasgow.
Where the design earns its rating is the weather modelling. Storms reduce visibility; cold accelerates calorie burn.
Where I would push back is the absence of co-op multiplayer.
Three-and-a-half stars. Solid polar adventure.
