Back in December of 2012, little old me decided he was going to start learning Japanese in preparation for the upcoming Tsukihime remake. I never expected the game to come out a whole 9 years after that but it was incredibly exciting to be able to finally fulfill my goal of playing this game on release.

It's hard to say if Tsukihime remake is better than the original as a whole, considering we only have half of the routes so far, but I think it's pretty easy to say that the remake versions of Arcueid and Ciel's route are a big step up from the originals.

The art and direction are incredible, and while I do have some complaints related to certain changes to the villain lineup, I do think that nostalgia glasses aside pretty much every change made to the story was ultimately for the better.
