SIFU GAME RATING SIMULATOR

With a visceral sound design that works in pretty much every setting except any time there has to be dialogue. The moment-to-moment action of Sifu is exhilarating bringing stylish kung-fu flourishing into each second, and its loop of death up to certain point, making you feel like a master fighting time as much as his enemies is expertly implemented. A feat I’m sure has horrifying ramifications for lore of this world, but luckily the bad guys just kind of say, oh hell no, and move on. This mechanic is maybe the most unique way of handling the souls-esq return to life thing, as you don’t start at the last check point, you start back right where you died, aged by years sometimes, ready to finish it. Death lingers around every corner and while it punishes you with the pain of age, trading in some health to return to combat, you gain your own experience and an increased damage output. Now all of this was not learned in a single life. Contextual takedowns, alternate routes, and unique weaponry give you such variety of ways to handle the enemy before you. That’s probably one of my favorites bits of this game, you actually use the environment. Experience and score can be used to grow your arsenal, unlocking moves from as simple as a snap kick, to the more masterful techniques of rain of strikes or environmental mastery letting you fling stools, bricks and even knives at foes as you move about the varied areas on display. Progressing through the game lets you use experience points, being young gives you more benefits such as increased stamina for blocking. All this flavor from just the base level of gameplay, but upon reaching my first dragon statue I discovered the hidden depth this game has. The accuracy of the moves on display is astonishing as enemies correctly block fists and elbows at the correct placement and takedowns feel less scripted than pre done animations typically do.

For every killer strike I had the enemy had two more, meaning I needed to dodge and parry at lightning speeds. Within my first few hours I fell in love with the intricate dance of martial arts on display.
