Sifu Reviews

Amazing game. Mechanics feel great. I hate the bossfights, but I guess I have to git-gud.

Very steep learning curve, but one you master the game, you're basically an unstoppable one person army. I recommend trying cosmetic mods so you can select from thousands of characters and play as who you want.

Give Sifu 2. I need it. You should buy then punch people as it feels good. Then do it more until you die and become an old man. Play the arena's they are where the real fun begins. Otherwise wait for a sale or you may not get your money's worth if you care about that sorta thing.

Punishing but rewarding as hell stylish 3D beat-em-up gameplay that contains easily the best rendition of the "Arkham-style" combat to date. Despite the comparisons that could be drawn to other games, Sifu is a game unlike any other that captures all the fluidity, discipline, and style that comes with Kung-Fu, with near-perfect bosses, a runtime that never overstays its welcome, and enough post-game content and challenges to keep it incredibly replayable. Only real gripe I have is that the game does not do a good job of letting you know how to get the true ending, which is fine for a first run, but it really could have dropped more hints as to how to get it. If you're curious, just look up a guide.

My favorite action game 2nd to Nioh 2. This game is really, really, really, really, really, really good. It is a 3rd person brawler beat-em-up action game, lots of labels these days but I hope that explains it well enough. It has a focus on parrying enemies and crowd control. You don't have to master either of these to beat the game, but it's encouraged to be replayed (it's a very short game overall), and if you stick with it you'll find a great experience you can hop into from time to time if you want to have some coffee in the morning and relax. I relate it a bit like an instrument, there's a lot of notes you can hit to make your own music while you beat up people. You can use a ton of moves that are all the "right" thing to do, and make some sick fight scenes. If you can avoid getting hit, the world is your oyster in Sifu. This game is about 2h in the story mode on a fresh save if you blitz it (when you're good), so it's very enjoyable to hop in once or twice a month once you're good at the game and do a fresh run through from start to finish. It can be hard at first but it's super worth it imo :) Focus on timing your block button when you get hit, and other than that, have some patience. LOVED THIS GAME MAN. It goes from "wow this is extremely hard" to "I can play this perfectly with only 30% of my effort". Anyone can do it, I promise you. You don't have to be a god to play this game like a god, and that's one of the most fun things about good action games like this. Big recommend from me

A pretty good quality game here, nothing to complain about. Sick animations, cool visuals, satisfying gameplay and overall a pleasant experience. I enjoyed it a lot. The controls are tight and responsive, the character is doing exactly what you want, and I can see how one could master the combat and make it even more satisfying. The difficulty isn't for everyone, I wasn't sweating this game cause I'm not in my 20s anymore and I sucked a lot, but still beat it in one sitting thanks to forgiving aging mechanic. For me the windows for everything (parry, combo) are very small even on the lowest difficulty and it felt kinda frustrating to miss all those parries and fumble some of the combos. But when you do parry and counter and/or do a finisher you haven't seen before it feels very cool. And still, despite me sucking big аss, finishing each encounter felt good, even if I died a couple of times (or 20). Also very smooth performance on steam deck oled, highly recommend.

It took almost 40 hours, beating the story twice and grinding through the arena missions, before I finally got Sifu. This is a fun and frustrating game as one would expect. You'll feel like you're fighting the camera, small react windows and inconsistent targeting system as much as the enemies. But, stick with it, and you'll begin to unlock the game. Not just enemy attack patterns, but how it flows and how you're supposed to respond. It reminds me of the original Mirror's Edge, where the art and style all bleed into the gameplay so, at a high level, everything Sifu is consistent with you want, to be a bad A kung fu master. For example, I was grinding out an 3 star for an arena score based challenge and kept falling short. Then I realized something the game intentionally never tells you, that you'll get more points using your first rather than weapons. I dropped my machette and barely even moved the entire time, only using attacks, blocks, counters and dodges. The enemies felt almost helpless, closest I've ever gotten to feeling like Neo from the Matrix which I'm sure was the idea. If you don't have that kind of patience there is still a fun, challenging brawler here. And, if you want, there is more as well.

Might be the most satisfying action game I've ever played in my entire life It's hard, but worth it. Use a controller.

I like punishing games but something about the way this game punishes you feels just unfair. Having to grind levels again and again to get a high enough score/low enough age to progress feels like a cheap way to extend the playtime of the game. The core is a fun combat system but I can't get past that.

After 40 hours of punches, kicks, and dying in the most creative ways possible, I finally managed to perfect the game! 🥋 Sifu isn’t just a game—it’s an intense crash course in “How to Age 5 Years in 5 Minutes.” 😂 Every time I died, my age went up… but so did my skills. And my pride? Well, that got crushed a few times at the start. The gameplay is incredibly smooth, challenging, and an artistic masterpiece. When I saw the final scene, I felt like I had just stepped out of an old-school kung fu movie. If you’re looking for an experience that will both break you and make you fall in love with it, don’t miss Sifu. My score: 🥋🔥 10/10 – Now it’s time to return to life with a cup of tea and a pair of aching knees! عد از 40 ساعت مشت و لگد و مردن به روش‌های خلاقانه، بالاخره تونستم بازی رو پرفکت کنم! 🥋 Sifu فقط یک بازی نیست، یه کلاس فشرده "چطور در عرض 5 دقیقه پیر بشیم" هست. 😂 هر بار که می‌مردم، سنم می‌رفت بالا ولی مهارتمم می‌رفت بالا… و غرورم؟ خب، اون چند بار اول له شد. بازی فوق‌العاده روان، چالش‌برانگیز و از نظر هنری شاهکاره. صحنه‌ی آخر رو که دیدم حس کردم توی فیلم‌های کونگ‌فو قدیمی بازی کردم. اگه به دنبال تجربه‌ای هستید که هم شما رو له کنه هم عاشقتون کنه، Sifu رو از دست ندید. امتیاز من: 🥋🔥 10/10 – حالا وقتشه با فنجون چای و زانوی دردناک به زندگی برگردم!
