    Sifu is a brutal, and desperate fight from the first brawl to the final duel. But something perhaps more important than all of that. Sifu is bloody good fun. It’s difficult, but extremely rewarding and satisfying. I struggle to find much I don’t like. It’s only detriment, if you could even call it that, is that some people may be scared away by the challenge it presents.

    An incredibly mastered Beat Them All game with tints of Metroidvania and Rogue-like elements making the players want to run cycles after cycles.

    Sifu is still a solid action game that feels tailor-made for those willing to put in the time to learn the systems. The subsequent patches have opened up the game to more players who lean on either side of the difficulty spectrum, but it remains challenging even if you try to make the game as easy as possible. The main adventure is a more than satisfying romp thanks to the deep fighting system. The new Arenas mode adds loads more life to the game, even if your only interest is seeing which movies get referenced in a given scenario. Players on both the Xbox platforms and Steam are rewarded for their patience with a very good game, while the Arenas mode alone gives owners on other platforms and stores a big reason to return to Sifu.

    Sifu is one of the best martial arts games ever, though getting to the fun part is (somewhat unnecessarily) tedious.

    An immensely stylish ode to kung-fu – challenging, well done, fun. It’s a bit short and the difficulty is all over the place, but you still should absolutely play it.

    Sifu is a fierce and delightful test of your frustration limit, which can unleash incredibly rewarding feelings of happiness.

    Sifu is a game that I wanted to love. I had high hopes for it being one of my game of the year contenders, but it left me feeling intensely deflated instead. It's a game that confuses the precise mechanical difficulty of Sekiro with a forced difficulty brought on by simply giving bosses armour. I find myself irrationally angry with Sifu. Sifu is a game that had exceptional potential, but squandered it on the wrong lessons.

    Sensacional, só merecia mais reconhecimento esse jogo mas infelizmente foi ofuscado por conta de outros lançamentos que na minha opinião sãoSensacional, só merecia mais reconhecimento esse jogo mas infelizmente foi ofuscado por conta de outros lançamentos que na minha opinião são inferiores, mas enfim... SIFU é um jogo que te faz muita raiva mas ativa seu instinto vingativo pra derrotar todos os inimigos, você tem que se concentrar bastante pois tem que saber a hora certa de aplicar os golpes e a hora de se defender Expand

С большим удовольствием убил несколько вечеров. Для полного прохождения необходимо перепроходить одни и те же локации по нескольку раз, что может поднадоесть. Но в целом бешеная динамика и хорошее звуковое сопровождение дарят незабываемые эмоции :))) Expand

    It's not bad. If you compared how much they improved from Absolver they also lacked a lot of other aspects. Fun and frustrating fighting game.It's not bad. If you compared how much they improved from Absolver they also lacked a lot of other aspects. Fun and frustrating fighting game.

    Personally the price of $39.99 is questionable for this type of content, looking forward for DLC if any in the future. Not really much to do other than replay to do it better than the previous. Game is also pretty linear with a couple hidden or locked paths.

    Receives a minus because of epic game exclusive, for now.

    You lose interest in the game pretty quickly. The first trailers weren't bad, but the game itself ended up being boring.
