Love the opening. The initial credits sequence that is part tutorial and part revenge fantasy is fantastic. The combat is extremely satisfying, especially when you get an enemy to the point that you get to just brutally finish them off. I don’t know I can keep up with the intensity of the normal difficult and may have to drop it …

The game art and music are amazing! I found a really hard time with the controls tho, that was kinda disappointing. About the story, i was expecting more but it was kinda interesting. Was hoping for more story development.

I feel like I can't really complain about the controls because it might also be that I am just very bad at the game or both; but in any case, I am not really enjoying it.

it's actually pretty good. with the harder difficulty and the added arena mode, there is enough content here that this is a pretty good game. the combat isn't ideal but it's good enough. i like timing based combat it just feels..off here. for all my original complaints in my review, i kept playing it

SIFU is a highly cinematic beat 'em up. Combos and finishers look very smooth and are fun to pull off. Its locations and enemies have enough variety to keep you engaged through the whole run. All in all, this game does a lot of things right. However, it does one thing wrong which lessened the fun for me dramatically, and that is, in my opinion, the boss fights. The difficulty spike between the regular enemies and the bosses is unfair, in my opinion. You spend all these points on good-looking but actually-very-difficult-to-pull-off combos which you don't need for regular enemies, and then you can't use them on bosses 'cause they'd just dodge it every time. So, what's the point? Instead of being cinematic, epic battles, SIFU's boss fights are mechanical puzzles (which are, by the way, not much fun) where all you do is try and push the right button at the right time. There's little to no room for creative thinking, you just do the same routine over and over and over again until they run out of health.

This game is like a Bruce Lee movie come to life, but the frustrations pile up after a while when the damn parry never seems to work.

This game is like a Bruce Lee movie come to life, but the frustrations pile up after a while when the damn parry never seems to work. The action is satisfying when things are rolling, but when you get your ass kicked over and over again when you KNOW you are hitting parry at the right time... that gets a bit old after a while.

Just picked this up for the Switch. Pretty impressive job getting it to run well on the console.

For an aging platform, I've spent a lot of money on Switch games over the past two months.

From a design perspective, this game is nothing short of phenomenal. Would love to see Chinese Mandarin voice acting if possible to further immerse myself in this already immersing experience. Fighting with rented time, rinse repeat and learn Kung-Fu and kick everyone's ass. Great gaming experience!

First Kena, and now this, Sony is doing a good job turning me away from their recent indie exclusives. At this point I'm worried Stray is going to somehow manage to mess basic representation up somehow. I sincerely hope not, Stray is the Sony exclusive I am most excited about this year. Please BlueTwelve Studio, get Stray right.

Sloclap has delayed Sifu to sometime in 2022. It's sad, but I'd rather they take their time than push out a rushed product.
