I’ve always had problems trying to get into the genre of hard games (mainly roguelikes), but I felt very happy trying this one out. The visuals of the game are stunning. It’s very “cartoonish,” but its color palette and defined edges really gives it a unique look. Given how pretty it is, the game does come with a handy Photo Mode, and trust me, you’ll be taking a lot of pics. The game also runs at a buttery smooth 60fps on PS5 with great texture quality and shadows at 4K. The combat is also REALLY fun. It’s not flawless, but its flare, satisfaction, and twitchy movements really keeps you on your toes. What I enjoyed the most was how age was integrated, where your health and damage output can decrease and increase depending on your age. It didn’t make me feel super weak even when I was getting close to Age 70. Although I do think the evade button is a little too prone to being spammed, I often find myself mixing it with parrying to get finishers. As you get older, health plays a key factor, and getting finishers quickly becomes increasingly important. The spatial environment also regularly gets very cramped, and can lead you pinned down on a corner even when you try to evade. Another issue I found was that it was sometimes hard to target a specific character when fighting. I’m not sure if there is a lock-on feature, and if there is, then I did not use it throughout my whole run. This also connects to the fact that this game’s tutorial is poor and put at a very sidelined level to demonstrate the story and world at the Prologue. At the end of the day, a mixture of everything is what guarantees you to improve on your combos (which are really fun to do too!) and age. It’s very twitchy and you have to react fast, but it’s extremely addicting and really hooked me easily. What’s definitely the most controversial is the aging system. Given that I’ve already played games like Returnal, I felt ready to go through a similar experience with this game. This portion is extremely subjective and it’s not guaranteed that everyone will like it, but I absolutely adore it. The age system regularly encourages you to revisit and perform better on previous levels to advance to later stages younger. It demands perfection and understanding of the levels. It also encourages exploration, as some levels may have shortcuts or extra rooms that you may not have had the opportunity to explore in your first runs. The soundtrack is also great, especially in The Club. Despite its very few flaws in gameplay, I absolutely recommend this banger of a game. It’s extremely addicting and I can’t stop thinking about it!… Expand

The question you have to ask yourself is whether the gameplay is engaging and fun enough to play certain sections over and over again. Any new game is going to have a control scheme and mechanics that you're not used to. As with any other skill, and as a fitting example, with any actual martial art, it takes time to teach your body and mind how to react to certain actions. The movesets of the enemies in this game take a lot of trial and error to learn. But with some patience and perseverance, you will learn the moves, and you will be able to respond quickly and correctly to all of them. And let me tell you, once you do, you will feel like an absolute badass in this game. That's the point. If that level of mastery came too easily, it would negate the sense of accomplishment. This game is so rewarding if you just enjoy the combat for what it is and take the time to master it.

    Difficulty and mechanics aside, the visuals and art style in this game are fantastic. Shout out to Sloclap for showing everyone how to do an oil painting aesthetic correctly (I'm looking at you, Platinum Games). The music was great and fit the mood and aesthetic of the game very well. The attention to detail, especially with interactions with the environment, was impressive. Also, this game was a clear love letter to the martial arts movie classics that came before it, especially the introductory credit sequence. Finally, this game managed to improve everything I dislike about "roguelike" mechanics. Once you beat a stage, you don't ever have to go back (unless you want to improve the starting age for the next stage). Even with the shortcuts, having to go through all the stages on every run would not have been fun. So being able to choose to go back to previous stages later was a huge positive.

    This game does lose a point for me for a couple reasons. The story was pretty generic, though I love From Software approach to storytelling in this game, through finding items and subtle clues in the environment. The ending, even the "good" one, lacked emotional weight for me. It could have been because the acting and writing, at least in the English version, was okay. Nothing to write home about. My final criticism would be that I wish some of the heavy attacks from the enemies (the ones with the glowing limbs), especially the sweeps and the big boy grabs, had a bit more of a telegraph.

    All in all, this is a masterfully crafted game with exciting gameplay mechanics and beautiful style, and well worth asking price. I can't wait to see what Sloclap does next, and I'm excited for any extra content for this game.    … Expand

    Sifu - это наглядный пример того, что чем больше ты начинаешь разбираться в механике, как работают комбо, уклонения и парирования, тем круче ты начинаешь играть, и это чувство принесёт тебе в конечном итоге массу удовольствия и положительных эмоций, но далеко не сразу.

Разработчики, как я понял вдохновлялись Sekiro, в которую, я к сожалению не успел ещё сыграть, поэтому на прохождение всей игры, а потом ещё и 2 пере прохождения ушло немало времени, но оно того стоило. Особенно заметна разница на последнем боссе, тк при первой встречи я вообще не понимал, как его победить, руки опускались, я готов был разбить свой геймпад об стену. Но я взял волю в кулак, потратил несколько часов своей жизни, чтобы наконец-таки заучить все его комбинации и одолеть. И вот уже при повторных прохождениях он не вызывает каких-либо проблем. В конечном итоге я прошёл всю игру без смертей при возрасте 20 лет, познал полностью Кунг-Фу и сам стал своего рода Сэнсэем.

    When you are in tense situations the camera can be a bit janky and cause some unfair deaths. While I love the level design the fact you have to replay levels from the start really becomes a drag after a while. Also you can use weapons and while they are cool they are not as fun as they could have been.

    Thoughts-
    This is a refreshing take on the beat 'em up genre and makes the game so much fun to play. I enjoy overcoming the challenges the game throws at you and it makes the game so much more fun. I will admit it is a niche type of game and its more meant for people experienced with the genre but it is still super fun and addicting to play and retry levels over and over.    … Expand

    I really enjoy hard bosses, the harder the better if it’s a fair fight, but I hate when I have to repeat a stage to get to the boss again if I lose the battle. It completely change the way I play against the bosses: since I don’t want to repeat the level again, you do not experiment with moves, I play as safe as possible using cheap tactics and it’s just not fun as it could be. I had much more frustration with this game than with Sekiro’s last boss. 2. Too many punch moves and too few kicks. Combat in general is absolutely spectacular but i find all type of kicks to be the most enjoyable kind of attacks in games (I played Shenmue 1-2 over and over using just kicks). Sifu unfortunately lacks in both quality and quantity regarding kicks. Despite these - personal - flaws, overall Sifu is really a unique game with no alternatives on the market.

The interesting death mechanics provide a special twist, in which each death not only resets you, but also lets the character age - gameplay effects included. This is not only mechanically interesting, but also adds a slightly metaphorical note to the largely meager story. Sifu is definitely not a casual game. But if you get involved in the smoothly animated fights and are not impressed by the high level of difficulty, you will get a brawler that is distinctive in many ways… Expand

I appreciate when developers created a game that rewards the player for playing smart and learning the fundamentals. Because of the insane level of difficultly in Sifu, this game is not meant for everyone which is perfectly okay. All games are not created equal and this is clearly for people who want and love a challenge. The only major flaw I can think of for this game is that it does a poor job of explaining its mechanics for newer players who are not quick learners.

It feels satisfying and is addictive. Still, it is not a game that you can recommend to everyone. The gameplay is so fast that there is almost no room to make or practice more difficult moves. The result is the well-known button smashing that actually is not the way you want to play it. There is an option to play SIFU at an easier level. However, you will be through the game within a few hours, which is not worth your money either. Altough it feels like a souls game, it is not in it’s core gameplay. For example, after a few runs there are quick ways to maneuver through the levels and there is the option to soften your runs via shrines. The conclusion is that SIFU is one of the better beat 'em up games that you can play right now. However, you need to know what you're getting yourself into to avoid disappointment.

    Pros:
    - Satisfying gameplay - Level design
    - Art direction

    Cons:
    - Very, very difficult on regular mode, Short in easier mode    … Expand

    What I Dislike: For a game that you'll probably want to restart a lot from dying, it sure has long load times and unskippable cutscenes. This is pretty annoying considering its a PS5 game with a fast SSD. The camera is very bad and you won't be able to see anything at all, which really hampers combat.

    How It Stacks Up: I liked Sloclap's previous martial arts entry in Absolver better. It was more unique and had more variety. Even though I 100%'d Sifu, I didn't even use half of the skills. The core combat itself is good, but is no match for Sekiro, which does the deflection/parry mechanics better. Still, it is one of the best martial arts games by default from lack of competition. So if you need your kung fu fix, a fun time will be had.    … Expand

    Sifu is a extremely fun game. It’s the most fun in a game I’ve had in a year but my one complaint is it’s to short. You’ve probably heard that 1000 times but I finished the game in 5 hours I can’t justify paying $60 for 5 hours. I will definitely play it again later in 2022 but it’s still hard to recommend.

    Sifu is a very visually pleasant game, but falls short of being a stellar character action game due to subpar design decisions.

    Let's talk about the good bits first. The game has gorgeous presentation. Although the attention to detail is not spread evenly across the game in my experience, when it's there, it's really strong. Enemies react just enough to your performance that it feels believable, losing and gaining confidence as the upper hand shifts. They can interact with each other just as much as they can with you which adds to the chaos. It's less Bruce Lee and more Jackie Chan: full of chaos and improv. Replay value is good and the five levels are densely packed enough with a fair bit of cross-level interaction. Even the simple things like your skill tree being a literal tree that grows as you unlock abilities add to a very visually appealing experience.

    Now for the bad parts.

    Sifu is all about fake depth. Initially, it's intimidating due to a steep learning curve, which comes from two things: the game has terrible controls, and the game has terrible tutorials. Among a slew of minor problems that render the combat not quite as good as it could have been, these constitute the core things that make Sifu a game that's frustrating in ways that feel accidental.

    The game's combat suffers from a significant problem with feedback and encounter design. Defensive moves have close to no visual or sound indicators for success. Parrying in particular only has a small and brief red flash on your hand when you succeed: enemies don't actually get staggered or slowed down until they've completed their entire move string. It's a far cry from the games it's obviously taking inspiration form, like Sekiro's parrying and Devil May Cry 5's Royal Guard, where successful parries are loud, flashy and impossible to miss. This might have been done to keep the visual style clean, but it really makes the gameplay suffer. This extends to enemy attacks, which are often very fast, hard to read due to their complexity, and lack good indicators for their states: they'll glow for a little while if they are strong attacks, have an extra little circle if they can't be blocked at all, and that's it. Enemies are difficult because they're hard to read in a way that could have been improved, not so much because they require tight timing or smart reactions.

    In terms of controls, Sifu suffers a similar problem as the same team's previous effort Absolver where it feels like controls were almost entirely arbitrary. Just downright strange decisions like putting most of your defensive moves in a single button but splitting weapon interaction on two separate keys, letting you rebind only some buttons and not others, having dodge and sprint on the triggers and wasting keys altogether (like the interact button, a thing you will barely, ever use and is irrelevant to the game's combat, occupies a face button for some inexplicable reason). It feels like the game is doing a different control scheme from what is intuitive just because it could, to fairly middling results.

    Encounter design is also middling. The game is extremely front loaded with good encounters and the later levels fall off hard in terms of them. It makes for an odd experience where the first two stages are full of great small moments and the later are just kind of boring lead-ups to an interesting boss.

    The tutorials make matters worse, not because they are too limited but because they are actively misleading. The game puts an emphasis on parrying: it's taught to you first, it's put front and center, it's the first thing your defense option does before it lets you do anything else. In reality, parrying is near useless: the real meat of the game, and the one that breaks it entirely, is evasion. Dodging attacks in place is so easy, so incredibly simple to spam, so brainless and yet is the answer to literally everything: not a single attack in the game cannot be evaded in some capacity, a handful requiring a slightly different form of evasion which is only made harder to achieve by way of bad controls. Once you are past this initial slump of realizing that the game is lying to you about what works, the levels become somewhat of a breeze.

    There's definitely more that could have been done with the game. Fine-tuning was direly needed and it's nowhere near as hard as people claim, it's just obtuse in what works and what doesn't and the difficulty that's actually there comes down to badly designed enemies and visual elements more than anything deliberate. The lack of additional features like a proper ranking system, a survival mode and/or arena mode, etc are all a bit disappointing; the game offers plenty enough in terms of content, but small extras would have been welcome. It's clear where the effort went with this game and it's undeniably a better product than Absolver, but it still falls short of being a genuinely good game to me.    … Expand

Just because it's an exclusive that looks pretty. I'm starting to get frustrated. Feels like PS is going backwards while the others platforms (especially Xbox) just seems to be getting better and better (not that they started from a great spot, but still.) Maybe their new Gamepass like service will cheer me up. But other than the controller, I'm starting to feel like I got the wrong console. If not for Gamepass I would be having serious buyers remorse. And with how hard this was to get too Maybe those two games I mentioned will change my tune. But this game, certainly was in line with that sinking feeling. I'm not saying PS is collapsing. I'm saying I don't feel that quality of banger after banger that I loved all last generation. And people are giving them a pass just because "PS makes the best games so it must be good" line of thinking. Sorry for the rant, this is just the latest example and a breaking point for me. Horizon can't get here soon enough (please don't let me down... Please don't let me down). My console is not being turned on enough. PC gaming has taken up maybe 80% of my time. It was reversed last gen. And to be honest, a lot of that is on freaking gamepass, of all places!! I am starting to see what the big deal is about. And maybe I'll just sell my PS5 and stick to PC.

Where are the disarms, throws, why can't I launch an enemy into another, why can't I parry into a lock, why can't I grapple? In short, why do I feel like I have less options in this game than in Street Of Rage 2?
    Also, stuff like dodges that leave you open in the last frames or having to hold a button to beat on a downed enemy (when it works) are terrible design options in the sense that they bring neither realism nor spectacle to the mix.

    The stages are pretty and feel lived in, but the enemy's lines will make you want to actually slap them across the face after the first half hour. Yes my nerves go the better of me, shut up.
    I won't talk about the story because there's none.

    Aging doesn't actually do anything more than a limited continue system would, except for locking you in a glass cannon build, whether you want it or not. The game is NOT a roguelite by any mean, there is no randomness in builds, enemies or level design.

    The camera is too often taking weird angles, obscuring your view, enemies glitches inside of walls, the auto-lock system is fussy and the game does a terrible work at explaining you how the controls work (I still don't know why sometimes my character leaps back before a heavy attack, but sometimes doesn't).

    The difficulty isn't a problem -lots of people like it. But in this case, there is nothing for me that makes me want to face that difficulty and progress further into the game. Some people will jump in because the level of mastery it takes to beat the game, and yes mastery is indeed a very valid motivation. Some people will jump in for the challenge given by the difficulty, which is also a very valid motivator. But if you're looking for a balanced and polished experience or anything that allows you to have your own playstyle, then look for something else.    … Expand

    How people can rate this game positive is beyond me. It must be cognitive dissonance. Its not just "difficult" as some people say, but there is a total lack of challenge due to some serious issues. The incredible boring and repetitive boss fights for example. Also, this game is totally uncontrollable since it does not take the laggy wireless controller into account. Therefore, even if youHow people can rate this game positive is beyond me. It must be cognitive dissonance. Its not just "difficult" as some people say, but there is a total lack of challenge due to some serious issues. The incredible boring and repetitive boss fights for example. Also, this game is totally uncontrollable since it does not take the laggy wireless controller into account. Therefore, even if you see something coming and press the right button, it still very often does not register your action. How can it be explained, that for certain combos it takes about half a second before the next button must be pressed, while certain bosses are so fast there simply is not enough time to execute such combos. How can it be explained that certain moves or weapons go through the opponent without harming them? Hits are not registered, combos do not land and a weak, repetitive AI. This leads ultimately to simple button bashing. An example of a difficult, but fair and well controllable game, therefore challenging is Demon Souls. This game? Pure crap… Expand

    Graphics are terribile, gameplay is intentionally very hard because otherwise the game can be finished in one take. Overhyped and disappointing.

    Cyberpunk has competitoin for worst PS4/5 game. A good way to waste 2 hours if you are extra bored. This feels like a PS1 game, a worse version of Tenchu with the usual cheap AI and overhyped scam marketing to make you buy. The rockstar Devs at least can brag about the hype on Instagram.

    I've heard a lot of arguments about the game's difficulty, but the problem is that the only thing that works in the game is the staging. Everything else is a bunch of lapses in implementation and idea.

    Could’ve been an amazing game. However, lazing design in terms of horrible graphics, brain dead AI, god awful combat, and pitiful story writing make this game not even worth your time let alone your money.

    It's good enough only for Daemon Souls lovers. Only 7GB size - awful graphic, sad and hard game play (even on the easy level) - that is what you get for the price of a AAA game.

    Sifu is boundlessly entertaining, immensely satisfying, and unrelentingly fresh. Even over a year after its initial release, I was still excited to jump back in, and I'm still excited to go back.

    It seems coming at this game late has given me a more positive perspective on Sifu. Whilst the Student difficulty wasn't available at launch, it does help wash away some of the repetition that can potentially grind a player down. Honestly, I felt the combat more than pulled its weight and controlling an encounter can feel incredibly rewarding. There's a challenge to be had but it's one that can be overcome with patient observation and persistence.

    A wonderfully difficult beat-'em-up that puts the player at the forefront of their very own martial arts epic.
