It's bigger, better, and way more chill than its predecessor, with as much as an upgrade as steak is to bacon bits. Comprised of a healthy serving of gimmicks, bosses, and a pretty intuitive design, it's definitely a big entry in the Needleventure world.
The majority of the game is spent collecting items from 3 stages you can enter in any order, each being designed around a particular gimmick. The stages are pretty diverse, with one of them being centered around the Pastel spike gimmick, another based off of shoot/jump triggers on spikes, and finally one based around V6 Kid. That last stage is a monumental success in my eyes in particular, and features one of two beasts within the game. Each stage ends with a boss, and they're all fairly simple and use the stage mechanics well, once again the V6 stage excels in having the best boss too. There's also a final stage after those which starts to mix in all the gimmicks, and once again busts out another beast at the end followed by a boss.
This is definitely one of arzztt's best works, and if you love stuff like VoVoVo or Save my Boy then you will love this, and if you haven't done those yet either then do them next. Highly recommended!

Rating based on all Endings.
After a long period of calm meditation, Kyir has truly reached jump refresher enlightenment, this is the best usage of them I have ever played so far in a fangame. The platforming is incredibly smooth and intuitive, the aesthetics are simple yet striking, and the overall mood of the game is powerful.
At its surface, REDACTED is a game all about jump refreshers, and they absolutely are in basically every segment of platforming throughout the journey. An important detail about the ones here is that Kyir uses a special sprite for them that actually makes them larger, which is one reason I think the game is way better than most jump refresher needle. There are also some unique gimmicks thrown in the mix every now and then, such as Anti-Jump Refreshers and Zero-Gravity Fields. I was a big fan of the anti refreshers in particular due to the pathing they created, but I disliked the rabbit gimmick a lot due to how many times there were sections you needle to cancel your rise in. There's also an avoidance near the end, and I wasn't too big of a fan of it myself, it has a lot of nothing at the start, moving gate jumps, and a pseudo infinite jump section with jump refreshers placed everywhere that felt super awkward.
But deeper in the game comes a sense of mystery and intrigue in the form of a storyline. You're in this mystery laboratory that seemingly makes jump refreshers, and a voice speaks to you throughout your journey. It's a pretty compelling narrative to follow since it ever feeds you more than you need to know in order to keep everything as one big build-up. If you want to experience the true ending, you do need to find various secrets that can be hard to find so I recommend asking someone for assistance, otherwise, you will need to replay stages. The ending sets up what could be the potential finale of this series started in Celestial Jump, which would have been called Defy the Director, so hopefully Kyir will finally release it one day so a true conclusion can be reached.
Overall, this is an amazing game, and if you can get your hands on it somehow you should absolutely play it. Kyir is the true God of Jump Refreshers.

An excellent production from Smartkin that genuinely feels like a proper adventure game, and a long one at that. My own playtime took well over seven hours and involved doing a lot of post-game content that was both surprising and interesting. Rating is based off the 100% True Ending.
Each area in Conclusion has its own merits, from start to finish, and truly shows how much effort was put into making it. There are a lot of varying segments too, ranging from secret base camera puzzles to a Metroid area. There are also plenty of bosses throughout the game that are mostly fun, though I didn't really like the two in post-game due to various issues. I did also feel like a lot of castle segments involved too much cannon spamming, as well as was annoyed by the falling platforms being everywhere including bosses. Final boss is pretty cool, and is also what I think to be the easiest in the game due to a generous amount of checkpoints. Achieving a 100% in the game is pretty fun and involves tackling various stages and bosses you might not have already done, and if you are interested in it I'll include instructions for how to achieve it in case you don't like secret hunting much.
True End Guide: First, you need to go ahead and beat the game, none of this can be accessed till afterward. Next, warp to Final Steps, then go to the Upper Left of the big castle hub to fight an optional octopus boss. After that, warp to Undergrounds and go down for a new area. With the outfit you get from the boss, you can warp back to Undergrounds and go up and to the right, when you reach the first screen of platforming after a good walk look for a brick tile with a red dot on it, you need to stand on it with gun kid in the space suit (press 0) to go to a space stage. Beat that stage then use the boss item back on the screen you went up to space on with the rocket to unlock an avoidance, you simply need to beat it (no-hit not required). With all those steps done, you can now warp to Back of the Castle and go right for the true ending.
Overall, Conclusion is a really good game, and I would definitely recommend it alongside aiming for the True End given to 100% completion.

Decent avoidance that has a few cinematic segments in it that are pretty cool. There are a few times in the avoidance that I feel are possible insta-kills if you don't know what to do, such as an attack where you must be in the middle to survive. There's also a part where it flips the screen upside-down, which is rather annoying to learn what to do at first. I think overall it's a fine avoidance, but some aspects of it fell short because of attacks like that.
Worth playing, but I wouldn't suggest it to beginners at all.

Pretty decent avoidance that could be fun for beginners. Doesn't have any insta-kills and is mostly just RNG that is not dense. Some of it has a lot of standstill moments, but I didn't think it was that boring overall. There's also a bit of an arena transition in the middle of it which definitely made the avoidance more interesting.
Probably a decent pick for beginners to play, nothing too exciting though.
