I'm not very good at writing long reviews so I'll keep this one short.
A monolithic achievement in the history of fangames, in my opinion. There is such a vast display of talent in this game, and it's very clear to me that everyone who worked on this project did great in some way or another. The third section of this game is definitely the best thing I've ever played in pretty much any platformer. The scale and creativity is simply unbelievable.. the visuals and atmosphere, too. Thank you all who helped make this wonderful experience.

Not only my favorite fangame but also my favorite game of all time. The quality and emotion packed into the visual storytelling and moment-to-moment gameplay across the game is truly unprecedented.
A while ago, I got through the first 50 floors in Crimson Needle 2, and there were some very interesting jumps, but I quickly got too exhausted to continue. To be completely honest, I can rarely get through 100-floor games due to the amount of gimmick-less needle. However, the platforming here is nigh-addictive; everything flows beautifully, and the completely original areas like 85-87 break up the pace of the game with fresh, engaging room structures. The visuals are consistently stylish with bold & elegant recolors of existing tilesets & backgrounds. I'll talk about music more later but I have added like 1000 songs to my playlists after experiencing all the brilliant artists featured throughout the game. Throughout the first 80 floors, I felt challenged but comfortable (also brimming with excitement as all the new information was coming out in the first few days after release). The next 20 are a lot more challenging and have especially interesting design, ramping up the gimmick usage and unique ways in which screens are remixed. The final floor is one of my favorite saves I've played. The overall flow & presentation of CN2.5 100 is pretty spellbinding, making each step of progress very satisfying & momentous. The booming music, the undulating background, and the sheer scale of the interlocking sections convey finality with immense grace and power.

Rating based on true ending
The main bulk of this game consists of a very large amount of content that all tends to vary from each other by large amounts. With mass variation like that, it's not unlikely to have a couple things you don't like. In my case I enjoyed almost all the platforming, but had a pretty bad time with most of the bosses, though there were 2 that I did have fun with, one of them being my favourite piece of content in the game. I'd recommend this game to pretty much anyone, even if you don't want to play the game in it's entirety, you will most likely find something you can enjoy.

Secret contents, 31 and NG+ included
100F part actually made me satisfied, it was just like a remastered versions of CrimsonNeedle2, and there are many excellent designs, while subsequent contents really let me down.
The secret contents is a big collaboration, but some of them seem detached from the game itself, and there's a lot of bad design. Then the following is not fun at all. Absurd difficult, and some gimmick designs have very expensive tuition for the player as a noble school. NG+ enhanced all the game, but it is too... preposterous, and very hard。
From my point of view these identities are ruining the game.
Overall, the game is still an Unprecedented Masterpiece.
