Siliconera - 90
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.
But Why Tho? - 85
Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon features compelling storytelling, complex characters, and rich thematic depth. Despite minor flaws and oversights, the remake is a must-play for fans of dark fantasy and narrative-driven visual novels.
Noisy Pixel - 95
Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon is a stellar remake of Type-Moon's classic visual novel. This partial reimagining brings modern graphics and expanded storylines for Arcueid and Ciel, providing an engaging and immersive experience. With captivating characters, a well-woven narrative, and enhanced presentation, this visual novel is a must-play for fans and newcomers alike.

Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- is simply a fantastic visual novel to read from beginning to end. It is single-handedly the closest example of what a modern AAA visual novel would entail; the amount of care put into its production values is incredible in the realm of visual novels. The English localization does a magnificent job matching the tone, spirit, and meaning of its source material as every character’s personality shines through their dialogue brilliantly in English. A few blemishes in the clumsy nature of its flowchart navigation hold it back slightly, but I couldn’t be happier with how the official English release of the Tsukihime remake has beautifully turned out.
Final Weapon - 90
Type-Moon has crafted many of my favorite characters and stories ever, and Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- is no exception. The themes and messages interwoven within the game are powerful. Powerful enough to make you sit back and think about how precious life really is. I’m going to be thinking about this story and these characters for a very long time, and I eagerly await another experience in this world with the release of Tsukihime -The other side of red garden-.
AnimeNewsNetwork - A
+ An elevated version of the near side routes of the original Tsukihime that masterfully combines the fresh and familiar. Perfect for returning fans, people new to Type-Moon, and curious Melty Blood players.
− Especially if you're a fan of the original Tsukihime, it's easy to feel the absence of the far side routes. Also, some of the new elements feel less necessary than others.
