Realize is a medium length needle game, focused on gimmicks. Of the modern style of artistic gimmick needle, this game is probably the easiest I know of, so it's a good entry point for players of intermediate skill level.

The gimmicks are pretty simple, with nothing really feeling new. However, they are used very well, with lots of fun saves. I really like the focus on creative saves, with most of the saves featuring some unique obstacle. This quality over quantity approach works well here, a bunch of saves using the gimmicks with more basic spike formations would've been less appealing. The creative design of the saves definitely makes up for the lacking uniqueness of the gimmicks.

To me, the highlight of the game is the artistic aspect. This is where the creativity really shines. The visuals for the long save stage are incredible, one of the most visually striking things I've seen in a fangame. Realize does a great job of imparting emotions through art and music. Even when not doing a deep analysis of the themes, the game manages to impart its vibes very well.

One slight mark against the game is the difficulty of the final stage, particularly the final save. The last stage was almost half of my playtime, and the last save was about half of that. This makes it a pretty large difficulty spike, and it was kind of jarring when the rest of the game had felt very smooth. The final save was a bit frustrating to me, the movements were precise enough that it wasn't fun to try to do them with a tight time limit. The rest of the stage was still quite fun, but the difficulty does stand out.

The game ends with a brief memory puzzle. I love when fangames introduce minigames like this, so it was a great thing to see. This easily could've been expanded on to form a more significant part of the game. As is, it was gone almost as soon as it appeared, which was a shame.

Overall, a very fun game, and one I would recommend to fans of gimmick needle. The game is reasonably approachable for high-intermediate/advanced players, but still far from a beginner game.
