For: Crimson Needle 2
Great needle. This game basically follows the formula of original Crimson Needle, but which some specifics. First of all, this game has a boss at the end. And let me tell you, this boss is one of the best i've ever played. As fan of Crimson-like concept, i fully enjoyed. Final boss of this game is perfect example of fair, clever and unique designed fight. Various tactics, analysis of what's happening, reading skills - you need to bring all of this to conquer this beast. Absolutely good to play, incredibly rewarding to beat
Before bosses there's a classic 100 floors of various needle. Another huge difference from first game - Floor 100. In this game, this floor has 3 screens and it's basically hardest needle save (and thing in the game, but this is imo) in the game by a shot. But even despite being extremely hard, i have a lot of fun playing this. First - good music, chill and vibe. Second - jumps, that are fun to do speedy on first screen, accurate on second and with high amount of nerves and precision on third one. Perfect example how you make final floor of the game, just classic at this point. Loved this floor
What makes this game is even more great - it's absolutely good for other 99 floors as well! I kiiiinda think it has weak beginning tho, some floors were kinda wacky and feels out of place, but the more you deep into game, the more it starts gaining momentum. After floor 50 this game oustands first game by a solid distance, and after floor 75 by a fucking light year. If original game floors 75-100 was a disaster, in this game this floors are bright highlight. Floor 99 is one the best i've ever played, floor 92 is far better than respective from first game (i also like secrets in secret floor, good stuff). And overall all later floors was incredibly good, hard as well, but it didn't corrupt them at all. My only issue is maybe floor 96, probably weakest floor in the game and kinds stands outside of everything, didn't like it
If i wanna describe negative issues, i mostly will didn't remember anything. In general, this game is just perfection of how make simple in design, but cool and clever needle with good balance. I think Kale just understand all of the problems with first game and fixed it for the most part. And this is actually huge, because Crimson Needle 1 was not the worst, it has extremely big potential, and the Crimson Needle 2 while having it exploring it fully, which makes it prevailing and perfect. If you wanna play some hard needle or get into hard needle, this is my easiest recommendation

This is one of the more awkward Needle games that I have played and I did not enjoy it at all. In my eyes, it starts this way in stage one and continues like this all the way to the end without improvement.
A lot of the game just boils down to highly uncomfortable maneuvers, such as water with mini spikes on the bottom half of it, a weird fall in which you have to go through a corner without double jumping, and a really awkward jump where you have to go through two cherry gaps at a slant. The save balance was also pretty bad and didn't really seem to lead anywhere, you can pretty much assume it was three stages made to be simultaneous rather than as actual progression. I also thought the last stage visually looked like quite a mess, though the other two were mostly fine in this regard.
I wouldn't really recommend this, it just wasn't fun at all.

This was a banger adventure game overall. Has some unique ideas through, has some annoying stuff tho, but i still think it's high-class adventure. If we go through stages:
Stage 1 (Traps) - classic
Stage 2 (Fruits) - was annoying to collect fruits after every death and the bat boss was quite trash
Stage 3 (Minecraft) - maybe not the extremely best usage of gimmick, but it was still fun
Stage 4 (Puzzle) - fucking highlight of the game, absolutely oustanding
Stage 5 (Braid) - really fun time-revers puzzles, but some of them was quite dumby
Stage 6 (End is Nigh) - very atmospheric, very enjoyable
Stage 7 (Volcano) - RNG-fiesta, but it didn't trigger me that much, was quite fun even sometimes
Stage 8 (Ghost) - banger needle with cool paths and good usage of gimmick
Final boss was okay, but too easy for ending point
So overall, i can recommend this for every adventure-lover and everyone who likes unique gimmicks

Even despite i went out of my mind when i played this, i think after all this time it's a good game. It has good gimmick-oriented bosses, that you need to learn how to beat them and this is actually a fun part of the game. Final boss is kinda interesting, but i didn't have tone of fun, just okay. I wish also this game has more needle, because what is here is good. Overall, i recommend this if you wanna interesting experience with bosses

Based on 100 % clear. It was pretty good, especially cyan and purple stages, even tho some saves goes into a little bit of a cringe territory sometimes and secret hunting feels out of place for some reason, didn't like that aspect of the game
