- Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- is a remake handled with expert care and fully realized without losing any elements that makes the original a legendary classic of the genre. It stands as one of the pinnacles of the genre and makes me feel truly fortunate that the original to this wonderful remake is the title that kicked off a love affair with visual novels that endures to this date.
Jae Lee · Aug 15, 2024 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - We’re about to see the game that truly put Type-Moon on the map this week as of press time in Fate/Stay Night Remastered, but I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to jump right into it coming off of Tsukihime. Especially knowing that there’s another set of stories still coming. It’s a long summer’s read, but it may be too intense for some: it certainly was for me.
Donald Theriault · Aug 05, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Nevertheless, as it is, Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- remains a superlative visual novel, and a must-read for any fan of Type-Moon’s work, as well as a great potential entry point for those looking to get into visual novels as a medium.
Josh Tolentino · Jul 30, 2024 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Após mais de duas décadas, recebemos parte da história de Tsukihime com o remake Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-. Do começo ao fim, é uma história engajante, interessante, triste, trágica e muito, muito linda.
José Viana · Jul 18, 2024 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - It’s incredibly frustrating to review a game like Tsukihime, because there is just so much to dig into with its narrative and thematic depth. I want to pull this thing apart piece by piece and examine the characters, dynamics, and brilliant use of language, that the need to avoid spoilers means that I can’t really talk about it. All I can say is that there is so much depth and intensity to the narrative that it works as a piece of literature, and for this remake that’s backed with utterly gorgeous art and presentation that pushes to the very boundaries of the visual novel format. It is such a good thing that we finally have this masterpiece on our Switches, easily accessible and wonderfully translated.
Matt · Jul 09, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- is not the original Tsukihime. But it is a fascinating update and expansion of the original game’s first two routes. I’ll definitely be looking forward to the second part of this remake, and so should you.
Nicola Kapron · Jul 07, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - TSUKIHIME: A piece of blue glass moon is a visual novel masterpiece. It was one of the biggest games in the genre that I hadn’t played at all, and I’m glad to have finally experienced it through this remake on both Switch and PS5. Regardless of whether you enjoy Type Moon’s works or are new to the developer, Tsukihime is an essential.
Mikhail Madnani · Jul 05, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - TSUKIHIME – A piece of blue glass moon from developer Type-Moon is a stunning game that weaves a deep and terrifying tale reinforced by strong main characters and good narrative flow.
Nathaniel Stevens · Jul 03, 2024 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - For as many creative liberties as it takes in remaking Type-Moon’s first-ever visual novel, Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- exhibits a respect for the source material that borders on reverence. It feels as though every bit of the game has been carefully and lovingly crafted for the purpose of creating the definitive version of Tsukihime — one in which the shocking narrative developments hit harder, the action sequences are even more exhilarating, and the core story of life, death, and love is all the more bewitching. For fans of the original, it’s not only a dream remake, but a triumphant affirmation to the rest of the world that, yes, we really have been missing out on something special for all this time.
Ethan Zack · Jul 02, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Tsukihime: A piece of blue glass moon is a great entry game for new Type-Moon fans and a fantastic remake for old ones. Though players can dive right in without A Witch on the Holy Night, I do recommend playing that one first if you haven’t! It helps to further your understanding of the story and world. The explanations and narration from Shiki’s point of view make it a really easy story to digest, as new fans of Nasu’s works might feel daunted by how complex the in-universe systems can be. The magic of Nasuverse is on full display in this beautiful remake, and it’s my new recommendation for those who want an action-packed visual novel.
