#Sifu rating full#

Overall the game isn't perfect, but it is such an outlier in a market full of clones and duds that the ambition alone to create a game like this is truly admirable. Music is awesome, but I have this nagging feeling that it could have been even better - something just feels missing about it. Replay value is stretched a little far to compensate for its short length, and it can get annoying having to replay the same level over and over due to the perma-death mechanic. A few negatives: Though presentation and gameplay is great, the English dubbing is pretty awful (play with the Chinese Dub). The antagonists are simple, but very distinctive, and the ageing mechanic to signify how revenge takes its tolls on a person's life is masterfully woven into the game. 27.11 at Amazon 80.99 at Amazon Pros + Deep, satisfying combat + Visually stunning + Great soundtrack + Interesting aging mechanic Cons - Slow sense of progression - Underbaked story. The games plot itself is basically an homage to a classic Kung Fu film. There are also plenty of great references to other media, from The Raid, to Oldboy to even John Wick (maybe?). It's a shame not more time was spent developing them and your characters' dynamic, but hey, AA budget so not all beggers can be choosers.

This is NOT for those looking for a casual game Sifu has a steep learning curve that only seems to get more difficult the further you go, but it is so satisfying when you get the start getting the hang of things! On top of the steller gameplay mechanics, the presentation is top notch! The first three out of five levels are all visual treats (the fourth fees a bit of a step down from the latter) and the bosses have fantastic face value designs and personalities. Every now and then a special type of game comes about that is completely unique from anything else that's come before, and I'd say that Sifu is that type of game.
