Review and Rating based on All Clear.
Try a Collab is a game where "Variety Hour" is the main theme, there are 90 short levels that comprise multiple different genres, ranging from adventure platforming, needle, bosses, traps, and even some sudoku. Intermixed with this is the fact that the game is intended to also be a funny meme fest. As you can see in the reviews the game is pretty divisive, mainly due to the sequel clearly blowing it out of the water, but I still believe this game is pretty great.
The format of the game is easily the most interesting aspect of it, you have a hub full of levels you can pick from, and unlock more as you finish them. This unlocks various corridors of content sure to give hours of gameplay, and also allows you to skip levels you don't want to do as well. The levels themselves are also split amongst the creators in interesting ways, one will pick the song, another the graphics, whilst a third does the actual level design. Throughout the game are a lot of funny references and jokes that I think adds a unique personality to it, I would say that this almost feels like a sort of Sudoku Collab. A lot of people think the game would be better if it didn't focus on memes and instead on more serious gameplay, but I think this is like asking for an avoidance game to add more needles, you shouldn't walk into a game with expectations that go against the genre of it.
This being said, there are a few obvious issues with the game. This came out in a time when Needle was such a predominant thing that it overrides even a lot of the platforming, trap, and meme stages. You're going to have to do gate jumps and diagonals galore all throughout. I'm personally fine for such since it adds that classic style I always like, but I understand why some people may dislike this. Also, there are multiple bosses that can give incredibly distasteful RNG and become quite tedious, so I'd understand why some people might dislike them as well. Some truly awful segments that I despised however were a Donkey Kong boss with incredibly shitty RNG, as well as a kill-block needle segment made by Piece that feels like garbage to play. There was also a guy rock tile trap stage that also was highly unenjoyable, alongside Electric's Megaman Needle screen which was the worst in the area. I still however think the amount of variety in the game makes it not such a problem, also including the fact you do not have to beat every stage to clear anyways.
Overall, I think Try a Collab is a mighty success in my eyes. A bunch of fellas got together to make some fun times and get a few laughs, and I definitely enjoyed what they put together. I was skeptical from the reviews but after playing through all of the game I would definitely recommend this to people.

The (current) best fangame I've played. This game is not for everybody. I think in order to enjoy games like these, you have to be able to tolerate a lot of bs. If you can though, fast paced gimmick needle just works really well, and this game brings it to another level with incredible polish, refinement, and variety. The four gods boss stage made me feel anger. The stage where you play as a spike made me feel wonder. The bhopping stage made me feel joy. There are many shorter memey stages that serve as great resting points. This game just rapid fires ideas at you, and yes not all of them are fun and "good", many will annoy you, some clearly had way less effort that others, and some will even probably give you a minor headache because of all the screen shaking effects, but it's so, so worth it.
I started playing this game, and played it for five hours before going to sleep. I then woke up, and played it for another five hours until I beat it. Other single player video games I've no-lifed include: Undertale, Elden Ring, and Sekiro. Yes, it is that good.
