Probably one of the best games I've ever played, absolutely worth $0.
Basically the only title I've replayed over and over again to get the special "good" ending.
A good bonus is that if you play, and get good at, this game - you can then move on to other, parry-based titles (like Sekiro) and they'll feel like a walk in the park.
The game is easy to start, but besting it at all will require you to replay some levels.
I am very much looking forward to playing this and have been wanting to since its release. If it is anything like Sloclap’s other game, Absolver, I know the combat will be really fun.
Sifu is Absolver if all the disparate combat trees and styles were boiled down into one.
It's a simplification and optimization of Absolver's formula, and (in my opinion) it's perfect.
Where Absolver was too open and didn't have a direction for most players, Sifu does.
Where Absolver required you to grind for hours to unlock new abilities, Sifu grants them from a tree using points gained from playing the game (no need to block specific abilities, which prevents the fake fights with you just blocking and dodging, hoping to gain the right type of xp from the right mob spawn).
Absolver also has a great story (even though its telling is very subtle), and reaching that final hidden ending feels incredible.
Absolver walked so Sifu can run, and it's so wonderful to see the fruits of Sloclap refining their already amazing formula.
