So, this story is a classic, and the Bad Ends are twisted fun.
This is based on the Realta Nua version, and does not have the sex scenes. It does not need them. (Good,)

Fate Stay/Night Remastered is the best way to experience a visual novel that still holds up to this day as one of the greatest and genre defining of all time.
The bittersweet joy when Saber is finally saved in Fate, the mourning of Archer's ideals in Unlimited Blade Works as he stares in the old mirror, and the cathartic payoff of seeing Shirou at his greatest in Heaven's Feel is unmatched. The occasional overindulgent dialogue and inner monologues lacking the snappiness and conciseness of a perfectly paced Tsukihime Remake is well worth Nasu's meticulous delivery of mythical scale payoffs.
Fate really reminds me why I got into VNs a decade ago. Yet it also drives home my lament for this medium's slow death today with so few works daring to aim this high.
Read Fate/stay night. A few hours a week will carry you through this legendary story in a couple months, but every moment is worth it.

The biggest takeaway from this game, is that the Archer class really is made up of Archers!

Truly one of the best story games out there. The amount of depth and content is truly insane. The deliver on character's, tone, and intrigue are executed in a great way. I wish the series stayed true to the outline and foundation this, and titles like witch of the holy night and Tsukihime, laid. Overall I can't recommend this game enough, especially if you watched the Unlimited Blade Works anime as the actual game route obviously executed it better. As in the anime it does a good job of showing the baseline conflict of Shirou's ideal, but cuts quite of bit of the detail revolving the center of that conflict and Shirou's own Inner dialogue.
Also, I would say the main reason to buy this would be for the simple fact that the character interactions are done justice. One main example of this would be the interactions between Shirou and Rin. The anime really watered down the bond they formed throughout the Holy Grail War, whereas the game truly shows the relationship that they cultivated throughout this time.
Overall, if you are a fun of the Fate universe this should be a must buy, made even more so as the sequel is also being remastered.

Amazing port of a great game, and the saves are cross compatible with the Nintendo Switch version if you (like me) decide to switch platforms part way through.

An absolute classic of the visual novel genre — and after all these years, it's finally available in West!
Technically, it's flawless: high-resolution visuals, clear audio, and it runs like a dream on the Steam Deck.
Whether you're completely new to the Fate series or a long-time fan who's poured hundreds of hours into FGO and knows every frame of the anime, this is a must-play. Even with Ufotable's adaptations, the original game still holds plenty of surprises (bad endings & Tiger Dojo!).
I clocked nearly 90 hours with this game, using guides along the way, and I loved every moment of it. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it as your very first visual novel.
All in all, it’s a legendary title that truly lives up to its reputation. Don’t miss it!

Fate/stay night REMASTERED delivers a refreshed and accessible version of one of the most influential visual novels ever made. Originally released in 2004 and later updated as Realta Nua, this new edition brings the story to modern audiences with high-definition visuals, improved user interface features, and an official English translation. Every character sprite, CG, and background has been upgraded to a clean 16:9 aspect ratio, preserving the detail and atmosphere of the original while making the presentation feel contemporary. The visual enhancements breathe new life into iconic scenes, especially during emotionally intense or action-packed moments.
The core narrative remains unchanged and just as compelling. The game is divided into three distinct routes—Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven’s Feel—each presenting unique developments, themes, and character arcs. The Holy Grail War serves as the backdrop for a philosophical exploration of ideals, morality, and sacrifice, with each route peeling back new layers of the story. Together, the three arcs form a complete and multifaceted narrative experience that spans over 60 hours. It’s a game that rewards patience and attention to detail, offering not only gripping drama and romance but also a deep dive into its richly constructed world.
The remaster also introduces a number of quality-of-life improvements that help streamline progression. A branching path flowchart allows players to track their choices and easily revisit key decisions to explore alternate routes or endings. A built-in glossary and character database provide much-needed context for the game’s dense lore, especially useful for those new to the Fate franchise. The infamous Tiger Dojo—short comedy skits that appear after bad endings—return with their signature charm, offering both humor and hints to help players find the correct paths. These features make the experience smoother and more inviting than previous iterations.
Despite the impressive updates, the remaster is not without technical shortcomings. At launch, many players encountered issues with sprite layering, out-of-sync voice acting, and buggy transitions—particularly when running the game on systems using English regional settings. While most of these issues were resolved in early patches, they left a negative first impression for some. Additionally, the interface, while functional, can feel sluggish. Gamepad support disables certain keyboard shortcuts, and the lack of options to disable visual effects during combat may be problematic for players sensitive to flashing lights.
The new English localization has generally been praised for its clarity and tone, offering a polished reading experience that feels faithful to the original Japanese. However, there is some division among fans regarding the soundtrack. The version included in the remaster is based on the Realta Nua release, and while it complements the story well, others feel it lacks the emotional resonance of the original 2004 OST. Thankfully, modding options are available for those who wish to restore the classic music or make other custom tweaks to the experience.
Fate/stay night REMASTERED succeeds in modernizing a beloved title while preserving the qualities that made it legendary. The improvements to visuals and accessibility make this the best version yet for newcomers, while the faithful story and added polish provide plenty of reasons for longtime fans to return. It’s an experience that stands at the intersection of romance, action, and philosophical depth, cementing its place not just in visual novel history but in the broader landscape of narrative-driven games. For anyone interested in where the massive Fate franchise began, this remaster is the definitive starting point.

As someone who first played the original Fate/stay night from 2004, I can truly say that the visual novel made a huge impression on me. It was probably the first visual novel that I played that hit this hard. I quickly fell in love with its detailed story, interesting characters, and the deep background of its world. My love for this universe grew even more after watching the anime versions.
So, when I found Fate/stay night Remastered on Steam, I didn't think twice. I bought it right away, feeling a strong sense of nostalgia and hoping to experience that first magic again. Now that I've finished the remastered version and earned all the achievements, I can honestly say: no regrets at all.
For long-time fans like me, Fate/stay night Remastered is a wonderful trip down memory lane, a chance to see a beloved classic with a fresh look. For new players, it's the best way to experience the original story of the Fate universe - I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit jealous of you for being able to play this game for the first time.
I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the original or wants to start an unforgettable visual novel adventure. After finishing this replay, I now intend to rewatch the anime. ^-^
