This review contains spoilers
It's a good story, there are some pretty good twist but fuck me the sexual stuff in this game is terrible at worst and interesting at best. There are a lot of Edgy stuff.
Is it justified? No and yes.Shiki does have some unhinged moments that are completely unjustified. I do like that it does have something interesting with Kohaku, and her character is a good example how interesting is the story with its sexual subjects. And shiki is an interesting character. Not because he's an unhinged guy doesn't mean the vn is bad and shiki is bad. I think it is bad when the guy spends like 6 weeks in bed, and the VN takes every day of it, describing the same stuff.
The sex scenes were just whack. It's just there.
Routes are pretty good except Akiha, they each contribute to major narrative that the game wants you to know, so here my ranking of the routes:
1. Ciel
2. Hisui
3. Arcueid
4. Kohaku
5. Akiha
if by some reason, you are asking or taking this as a waifu tier list. I like to defend myself that the only 2 characters as a person I like are Ciel and Hisui. The rest are just bad people or insane people. I rank it by my enjoyment of the route.
Ciel is the best route in my opinion because you get everything about the character and never derails off the main story too much to focus on the character because the character is linked to the main story. Same with Hisui route.
Arcueid is the most vampire romance that tsukihime gets. I like her personality more on the Ciel route.
Kohaku route is the recommended final route, so by the time I got to it, I already got the full story. To be fair, you do get final details on the matter and her perpective. Honestly, It is a weird route because you know who she is and what happens to her on the other routes. Her true ending felt good, but idk Kohaku is a fucked up character, so her route was still pretty good.
Akiha route is terrible. She goes to shiki's school (THIS IS THE ONLY ROUTE, THAT THIS STUFF HAPPENS, it enrages me because even Arcueid wasn't that intense with shiki to enroll in the same school), and we get some anime moments. The rest is just the same, dragging the story and mystery. I don't like this route. Let's just leave it at that.
The music was good, but the same musics tracks are going to make you go insane by how much they repeated. The art and the photos in the background was always nice to look at.
I was never bored nor annoyed (except in akiha route's) reading tsukihime. Good VN glad I gave a chance.
