    The game's true action peaks are not in the boss parts (where it's more about epicentres of frustration), but in the mass brawls that match the best scenes from films like Raid or Kill Zone. Actually, it's even better, because here you are in the lead role and you take everyone on in a very personal and dynamic and vigorous way. [Issue#320]

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

    A wonderful fighting game that is very challenging and, in return, very satisfying when the fighting system is understood. Sifu brings together several interesting elements and that works out well. All this wrapped up in a nice artistic style with matching audio makes it a delight. But it does if you look past the poor voice-acting and the generic story. Not really points to worry about if you go purely by the excellent gameplay.

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

    SIFU is a vibrant and powerful tribute to the martial arts. Sloclap undoubtedly masters its subject and the genre in which the title fits. In just two games, the Parisian studios demonstrate their know-how in the field, and in fact become recognized artisans of the video game fight. This Beat'em All hits hard and with conviction, and perpetuates this noble art of kicking and kicking in a demanding and inspired quest for revenge. The title of Sloclap, due to its raised difficulty, is intended for tenacious, even relentless players, and could discourage more than one, but learning martial arts requires self-sacrifice and self-control… like SIFU.

    Sifu is a difficult game, requiring you to master its complex combat in order to enact your revenge. But it could have used a bit more training before entering the arena.

    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.

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

    However, the difficulty gets very steep from the beging, it's a good thing they added difficulty levels in the updates to make your entry in the game easier.    … Expand

    La verdad que SIfu es todo un desafío de videojuego. Si es verdad que no tiene una dificultad desmedida pero te supone toda una experiencia el mejorar y aprender las mecánicas y combos que ofrece el juego para la acción. Me ha parecido una innovación muy sorprendente y dinámica en la que te ves obligado a mejorar y aprender poco a poco para poder vencer a los enemigos que se te presentan. Creo que en lo que el juego intenta abarcar consigue un buen resultado y en ningún momento te llegas a desesperar desmesuradamente. Por lo cual siendo el juego que es si que recomiendo experimentar el desafío que presenta Sifu a base de puñetazos y patadas al mas estilo kung-fu.    … Expand

    Из всех попыток 5 поиграть и понять, влиться в игру, замедление геймплея и добавленная минимальная сложность не спасла меня от доминации противников. Фанат боевки Batman Arkham series и надеялся на схожий экспириенс доминации над противниками и ожидал зрелища. Как говорится: ваши ожидания - ваши проблемы. Зрелище есть, но оно добивается немеренным вложением времени в получение опыта и ощущения геймплея. Схожий процесс был у меня в Секиро, но если Секиро я прошел несколько раз и кайфанул, то эту игру я не смог понять и был уничтожен дойдя только до второго босса. Самое забавное, что даже слоумо (с игрой не проводились никакие манипуляции, честно) не помогло реагировать. Автор слоупок, игра интересная, но не для слабонервных и терпеливых.    … Expand
