![]() ![]() It borrows a few elements from the Soulslike genre, although it doesn’t have the credentials for full membership of that particular club. It wouldn’t be so bad, but there’s just not much reason to go back other than this. This, frankly, needs changing, as it makes the late game an almost impossible task unless you intentionally replay previous stages just to reduce your age. So if you limp to victory at 75, good luck surviving with just one “life” in the next stage. Also, when you finish one stage, you’re locked to the age you are when you beat it. And this will happen, by the way, quite a bit. It’s possible to go from 20 to 77 and die of old age in a single fight. ![]() However, a magical talisman allows you to rise again and keep rising, until your vengeance is sated.Ī rather naff drawback is that every time you die, you age by a number of years concurrent with how many times you’ve fallen.

The story is almost refreshing in its simplicity. We wouldn’t though: that’s how you lose a tooth. If the combat is a pool, the rest of Sifu is the greasy linoleum that surrounds it that you’re tempted to run across to get to the good stuff. And while the combat certainly has plenty of depth, the game that frames it doesn’t. Of course, such a tight focus can have its drawbacks.įor example, Sifu scatters collectibles about its stages, some of which inform the story or open up shortcuts, but they don’t often take long to find. It’s a game about punching people in the face, throat, and balls over and over again, and we’re absolutely here for it. Sifu isn’t a game about finding the best loot, about levelling up and exploring a massive wilderness. Sifu, from indie studio sloclap, aims to slide into that niche, and largely succeeds. In these days of the vast open world sandbox where everything has looting and shooting and RPG elements, there’s little pure action to go around. There are very few games released these days that aim to do just one thing well.
