![]() It’s an incredibly effective crowd control tactic, though it won’t do you much good against bosses.Ī benefit, too, is with a swift and clean takedown of an enemy, you can get a year taken off your death sentence. I also poured some experience into being able to use the environment. If I could isolate them as much as possible, the damage I took would be bearable as I could regain most of that back with well-timed takedowns. It was the first thing I maxed out, and it benefitted me when facing multiple enemies. A power-up I targeted for myself was making sure I would heal as much as possible during takedowns. How you go about getting those is up to you. You’re definitely going to die, but at least you’ll walk away with at least one new power up. Sifu, for its credit, has plenty of ways for you to mitigate this challenge and improve upon every attempt. There’s an amazing story here, but if you’re getting frustrated by even the second boss, then you’re on the edge of giving up playing the game in its entirety. The problem with Sifu, and games like Sifu is that they run the risk of being too hard for their own good. No for real, I will send you a box of cookies. If you’re successful in your sixth, I will give you a cookie. You won’t even be successful in your third, fourth, or fifth. You’re not going to speed run this game, and more importantly, you’re not going to be successful in your first attempt. Sifu can be rewarding, if you’re willing to put in the work. Sloclap The challenge provided is rewarding ![]() That unprompted fist thrown in the air when I finally beat a boss at a respectable age was an excitement I haven’t felt from a game in a long time. I buy games to feel rewarded for the things I do, and for that, Sifu delivers. I’m fresh off of playing LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and that’s no Dark Souls. I found myself increasingly frustrated with the challenge that Sifu offered, and perhaps that’s on me for perhaps going too easy on myself in my gaming choices. The story is a rewarding experience, if you can resist the urge to throw your hands up in the air and simply give up. You survive because of the talisman in your hand at the time, which is meant to explain why when you die you revive, just a handful of years older. Yang then kills the school master, and has one of his goons (later called “The Botanist”) to cut your throat. The game opens with you controlling the main antagonist, Yang, fighting the students of a martial arts school. Your character’s sole purpose in the game and his life is centered around getting that very tasty revenge. ![]() Instead, I refused to admit that I’m a terrible fighter and decided that I was going to continue, and boy I’m glad I did.Įverything about Sifu is centered on revenge. Granted, if I weren’t granted the review I may have well counted my losses and moved on, probably to go back to playing Call of Duty, or doing a new play through of The Witcher 2. That strategy has served me well against my friends, it did not against Sifu’s increasingly difficult AI enemies. I’m a serial button masher, often deking out wins in Super Smash Bros’ Ultimate or Mortal Kombat out of pure luck and button mashing combos rather than out of pure skill. In fact, it can often be quite the opposite. Their first game, Absolver was well-received, and was praised for some of its innovation in the genre, and they decided to take that a step further here.Īn important thing to note for me reviewing this game is that I do not particularly seek out fighting games. And Sifu being on the Nintendo Switch seems like the perfect move for a game that I wanted to just keep playing after the first fight.įrom Parisian developer Sloclap, this isn’t their first attempt at making a roguelike fighter. And they may very well add to that total after today. ![]() Sifu performed extremely well on both Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, selling more than a million copies in total. Just released today is perhaps one of the more memorable fighting games released in recent memory.
