While a bit messy and all over the place, I think RZ is a pretty damn interesting game, it's platforming is pretty ridiculous and unbalanced at times, the final save is one of the easier ones in the game for example, but there's a lot of distinct stages which are pretty fun to play. The platform stage in the first half sticks out, as does the obligatory water stage and the last two stages, which are just solid needle. The boss is very infamous for it's luck element, it's genuinely terrible but I had fun, it's very much a turn your brain off experience. All in all while there are Rukito games I prefer to this, RZ is definitely a game I'm quite fond of, and think is at least worth playing to the boss even if you don't wanna play the lottery for an hour or more. Very cool game!

Needle is pretty cool, aside of stage 4, which was probably the worst water stage from Rukito i've played. The rest tho is banger, especially stage 3 that specializes on moving platforms - banger stuff, as well as stage 5 which is gravity switches journey. Stage 6, aka K3 tileset one, is very fun as well. Stage 7, aka K3 extra tileset one, was suprisingly easy for final stage, but also pretty awesome. You can definitely feel improvement over GR and PYF needle-wise in this game, and tbh the needle bits are probably more constantly fun than even in MMM and AAI, because difficulty is not that insane and there are a lot of chill saves, unlike this two games
Bosses tho are garbage. First one is at least easy and somewhat fun, but the last boss is true hell. It's very unfun luck check, because it has absolutely incompatible attacks, that will ruin your attempts very often because of this factor. Not mentioning boss can also spawn right before your face several times in row, which heavily enhances luck issue. Tbh, i don't agree with people saying this boss is hard, no, it's not even that hard, it's just waiting for luck, your space for skill maneuvers is very limited, and overall i absolutely didn't enjoy this boss
So my basic recommendation - play needle stages if you like Rukito style, and then feel free to leave it on final boss, because it's absolutely not worth it

Last boss depends on luck.
Apart from that, I think it's very good.
I like it the best of all Rukito game!

RZ is one of the best rukito game I think. Nice needle segments, Cool music...overall nice game. However, final boss requires lucks heavily. This case is not good for everyone maybe but fun though. Try this if you are skilled!
