Sifu Review - The Final Verdict
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- Sifu ultimately has much more going for it. With a challenging combat system that encourages you to master it, an appealing art style, polished gameplay, fitting soundtrack, and strong focus on its few core tenants, it’s definitely one of those “if you think you’ll enjoy it then you probably will” games.
More importantly though, it brings something new to the beat ‘em up genre while only rarely missing the mark on achieving its own goals, and even when it does, it’s not by that much. Despite a couple hang-ups, Sifu is ultimately a commendable experience that successfully injects an intense sense of danger and tension right into the heart of the beat ‘em up genre. - เกม
The hallway scene from old boy is a nice touch.
But NO hammer lol
Me-*DiCaprio pointing with beer and cigarette meme*
Yeah was thinking the same thing, can we get the man a hammer?
That was when I realized how cool this game actually is.
It's should be more hallway scenes tho 😠
As a fan of asian action,martial art cinema i respect this game a lot cause it tries to emulate that genre and there is nothing else like it. I loved Sleeping Dogs and i was very dissapointed when the sequel was canceled. I hope Epic Games makes enough profit to continue supporting martial art games and make even greater stuff. (sorry for my bad English).
Your english is so good
This game is SUPER hard... But they did a really good job at giving you a sense of actually learning with each death. Your character doesnt get better because of some game breaking upgrade... Your character gets better because YOU get better!!! But you have to pay attention and correct your mistakes. Or you'll be 70 before you know it!!! Fantastic job sloclap 👍🏾
This game is definitely meant for me! And I’m saying this as a fan of kung fu action games and movies & as a martial arts practitioner
The best thing is that enemies aren't dumb and don't just walk into your punches
and don't usually stand and wait for their turn lol
My kind of game. Been a fan of beat em up games forever
Combat feels organic. You can whoop any ass in the room. But some of them boys can fight back. 😀
You're not gonna finish this one without losing some lives.
Been looking forward to this badass game for some time. I might have to buy the deluxe edition to get it early. Can't wait!
Careful, I bought it for that purpose and it won't download (problem in the psn store so it seems). No one can access it yet.
Edit : It just worked ! I downloaded it. Seems to be fixed
Don’t get early access. It’s bugged. No one is able to download it
@@footlongfabo Still a good reason to buy it for early access tho? Let’s say it’s fixed in an hour. That’s still 45h early access
@@danishnick2002 yeah that’s if it’s fixed then. Hopefully they hurry up and sort it. Maybe people should just not preorder until it’s confirmed that the issue is resolved.
@@danishnick2002 They were aware of the pre-loading problem and they still couldn't fix it. I'd rather keep low expectations.
They should have made it 2 player, called it Double Dragon, and made quadrillions of dollars.
Yeah but they are a small developer and Double Dragon is an owned IP that you would have to pay to use
They sell the combat system to who owns the Double Dragon ip. Then they make 2player version of this game.
Hell yea
Its Reminds me of jackie chan's stunt master game from PS 1
I like the that you have to do the levels several times. It has that roguelike kind of element to it without the randomness.
I’m loving the game a lot and don’t mind having to replay the older levels. Made it to the museum so far and the game is punishing at times but it makes you feel badass when you roll up through a fight you struggled on numerous times and absolutely smoke the enemies as a young stud with knowledge and experience beyond your years.
devs should just used a bad ending in the aging system
where u died old without accomplishing your vengeance
then u can restart in ng+ with all the upgrades u earned
Nah this is more entertaining.
@@crazykenbei nah replaying a level are for noobs like u
@@kathrena1213 at least I don't need to die each time and come back with saved upgrades like you 😆
@@kathrena1213 this game isn’t for you, move along child
@@crazykenbei lmao u restart the level with previous upgrades from previous level😂
afraid of permadeath arent u? 😂
I love the whole Mario bros aspect of liner levels with progressive dynamic difficulty … it makes for a pretty damn cool game. It’s fun , and because of its structure you can challenge yourself to be REALLY good at this game
Started playing this last night, such a beautiful game!
3rd location will be a huge surprise for you, I had my jaw dropped the entire level
This looks awesome I haven't saw an open world beat em up look this good since Sleeping Dogs I really love these style of games and am just happy there is a studio working on something similar
It's not open world. Glad it looks fun to you though!
I bought the shit outta this game. Having a God damn blast! 😀
Great beat 'em ups are few and far between, more so now that Yakuza went turn based, can't wait for this one.
@2:46 is that an Oldboy homage I see 😎
I hope in future DLC they add double parry's/blocks, and maybe new Level's like the moment in the apartment building from The Raid redemption, the 2 vs 1 fight against a bad guy that can take us both out simultaneously, The Raid 2 fights, within this game, maybe DLC character's, like the main protagonist from that film, etc, Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx, Jet Li in "The One", Jean Claude Van Damme, Donnie Yen, etc, this game has potential not only for future DLC, but maybe future game's of this genre, *Martial Arts video game's*, can't wait to pick this game up for myself, hyped! 🙌😀
Man It would be really nice to actually play this
That Oldboy reference level 😍🤤
This reminds me of Rise Of Honor for the ps2 I love it will be purchasing soon
Would like a Arena option and maybe some random placement of enemies in levels after finishing the game.
I feel this game will be way better with New Game +
Sifu looks very interesting
Thanks for the review. I’m glad I didn’t buy this at launch. I just pre ordered the Sifu Vengeance Edition that will be released in May. So many games releasing early this year that it’s hard to buy every game. GT7 and Elden Ring will keep me busy for the rest of this year.
I absolutely love this game. As a lifelong martial artist, I really appreciate this game.
Only thing I don’t like is the sound effects 😂 seems super anti climactic
I'm playing it on PC currently. Got the digital deluxe edition. Unlocked for me 2 hours ago. The game is good. Very happy with it. I hear PS5 is having issues with downloading...I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.
It’s a solid 9 in my book but that’s Gamingbolt for you
Game is really awesome, and super hard too. Love it!
Im having issues with the game already. Daring the training area right after the dad is killed where the screen is red the part where i have to "Sweep" the lady to knock her down it want allow me to do the take down right after the sweep attack. I see on other videos it show to hold O button to do it but its not even showing on my game smh.
the o almost never shows up when you’re actually playing. just remember to press it when theyre down
@@aidancav i tried that to but it didnt work but i figured out what i did wrong i was messing around in the options/remapping for attacks and i changed the combat buttons around. Once i changed it it started working.
Lol I love that death system
@ Game reviewer. I was once told by a Romanian co-worker that “jipped” is considered a derogatory term. It was used to color gypsies as dishonest and not square-dealing. You might consider not using that word in your next review.
💯 white people are super insensitive
@@seymourlove4788 Nah, just White Liberals.
Relax. Now we're worried about offending gypsies? Holy f***. What next? Be careful about what you say about crows as you might offend their species.
How about the pyramid builders, can we talk about them without worrying about offending them.
I feel jipped right off by dumb humans.
@@giosasso Cringe.
The game won’t download on ps5, the deluxe edition was supposed to unlock today at 7am the count down is at 0.00 and isn’t doing anything.
I'm in uk I've got some problem but mines still locked qnd says 13d 10:57:33
@@kinetickhaos6144 did u get the deluxe edition ?
Same here! Stuck on the zeros. I’m in the uk
I’m stuck on Zeros too
Maybe the game has been delayed
I first read Sifu as Stfu lmao
Regular blocking isn’t going to cut it you literally have to learn to perfect parry/dodge using directional blocking, both up and body dodges .
hands down my favorite ps5 game so far
At the beginning of this review, the game was compared to Absolver. My qyestion is...Is the combo system in Sifu as complex as in Absolver? I liked Absolver, but the combo system is way too complex.
No mate, no. It isn't as complex as Absolver. But it is quite hard
The combo system is easy, just a few combinations of heavy\light attacks mostly just SquareX3 + Triangle and just a few variations. It's mostly difficult because of timing for parries and evades + enemies can attack simultaneously so you have to position yourself correctly and use surroundings. Very satisfying when you perfectly kick the living hell out of the whole room in a a few seconds because you have to work for it
If i can master Sekiro, i can master this too
With everyone getting their ass beat I was expecting a little more blood and facial damage to be happening.
Reminds me of when I saw Mortal Kombat in the 90s at the theaters, haha...
Hopefully anyone buying the game enjoys it, and they fix the deluxe edition bug quickly.
reminds me of matrix path of neo
They Gave It 8 Out Of 10 😃
Oh, was that what that 8 meant??
IGN gave it 9/10
Averaging an 8, so seems pretty accurate.
This looks more like a traditional brawler game witch I am happy about and completely fine with 😁 but I still do think it would be cool a game just like this that still had some use of hand guns or machine guns but not so intense that it would take away from the hand to hand combat elements of it something like a third person Jon Woo style game would be fun with sliding down railing next to stairs wall runs kind of like the PS2 game Wet in third person with all of that said I love what there doing for this game and what there doing with it adding guns to a game like this may take away of some of the appeal that this title captures but everything about the guns that I mentioned in a separate game entirely would be cool like a Sleeping Dogs spinoff sequel or prequel would be kick asz maybe a sleeping dogs Version that takes place within the same time line but maybe you play as a different character maybe from a Yakuza or triad perspective idk anyhow I can't wait for Sifu and I am definitely going to enjoy it as soon as it's available I'm betting it's going to be a good one - I also love games like Final Fight, Streets Of Rage series, Renegade on the nes Double Dragon, The Warriors, The Simpson's arcade thriller, Battle Toads and TMNT'S just some of the genres favorites
Game looks hardcore
Remind me little bit of sleeping dogs
0:55 I wasn't following this game so I don't know if it's intentional but this sequence reminds me of Old Boy
It looks interesting, but its graphics aren't for me somehow. Pretty great how they developed it, but it doesn't do it for me.
@1:19.. his parents were murdered when they were children... what?😩😩😩😭😭🤣
Amazing game.
It’s also £35
Does the bosses age when the protagonist aged?
Nah if you were fighting 5 guys but beat 2 of them, when you revive as an older version of yourself it's just the same 3 enemies you're fighting. You're health goes down a little but you do a little more damage
Exleent
Yeah one on one fights are easier for me lol. I tend to spaz out on the mobs! 🤣
Jeeeesus man... I thought Sean was difficult. The 3rd boss makes him look like childs play. All of her combos are a fluid mixture of untelagraphed high and low attacks, pretty much impossible to memorize, and she has blades. So even when you block you take damage, as you frantically watch your health drop, your structure rise, and try to predict weather her next attack will be high or low. Shes impossible!!! I can get through the entire 3rd level at age 37 (my lowest so far) and this b*tch ages me out every damn time 🤦🏾
second phase is way easier tho kir
I see a lot of Sleeping Dogs and Yakuza in the comments…. It’s not that. You’re going to get your feelings hurt with that attitude. Art style aside, it’s a lot like Sekiro, giving its difficulty and focus on posture (or focus). Best hand to hand combat I’ve played, super addictive.
You guys put out good content, but how can you review a game and never even mention which platforms it's available on?
Finding which platforms its on should be uh....common sense, and its useless info lol.
I found out playing with keyboards and mouse is easier than playing with controller
Play Absolver
Sifu deu legal
Why couldn't this be Sony free with plus game for the month. It would've got alot more Day One players
Buy the game. You don’t go to the movies expecting it to be free. I don’t get this mentality with gamers.
We ain't cheapskate like you xbox players
@@mikebeckett2164 What mentality??? Even some of the biggest movies release Day One on a service.
Buy the game. They’re obviously independent developers
@@ricmiles1684 Sony funded the Game, That's why it's First on PlayStation.
I've got the ps5 digital version which is the deluxe I should be able to play it On 06/02/2022 Well that's today and the timer says 13d 10:58:52 ffs so I've bought and paid for deluxe to play 2 days before everyone and now I won't play for another 14 f**King days?
🤣
This game should have been a day one release on PS Plus
... Just waiting for the crazy people to cry out "Reee! You can't be hitting women! This game is toxic AF!"
You can be a girl too but agree people are sooooo toxic they will find excuses for anything to hate on.
Don't worry, they're already at it! I ran into an article the other day that was titled: 'Sifu's Kungfu Brawling Is Made By A Studio Of White Developers'. I didn't even bother to click on it. smfh
@@TheABElia lol of course
@@TheABElia wow.
I saw an option to play as a boy or girl in the beginning
Wen Xbox?
How this game better than dying light 2?
Cause dying light 2 full of bugs
How you compare a beatem up to a buggy zombie game??? Wtf
You can't compared them
I’m thoroughly enjoying both 🤷🏻♂️.
"This game is dumb and repetitive. I'm gonna go play my racing game, my flight sim and my spaceman shooter. "
Stop complaining about the difficulty. Not every game needs to be designed with handless children in mind.
Shame your fighting the camera almost as much as the enemies.
Early af
Souls fighting game lol
another one wanting a "journalist" difficult level.
Sleeping dogs?
Nope
its not fucking downloading
Same here ps5 let me guess you got the deluxe too ?
Downloading for me
@@garyclarke2651 it’s not downloading on PlayStation.
Funked on playstaion it's a joke paid for early access
@@nicolasroghair8596 on mine it is
There’s no impact to the punches, sound like pillows fighting each other
Doesnt make you feel any less badass when playing, trust me
@@hefoughtabear118 I take it back, I finally bought it and I’m very impressed
@@mrhanky9719 glad to hear it
Wait…… so its not a open world or a battleroyal??
Talked to dam 🦫 much
Combat looks very repetitive 🤔
Name a game that after a few hrs the combat don’t get repetitive
Referring to structure as a stamina shows you didnt understand the game mechanics. Stamina deplete with movement unlike structure that stays the same no matter how many kicks you perform.
Another thing I'm pretty sure you're yet another reviewer who didnt finish the game. You're quite old at the club and we never see anything past club which is only 2nd stage.
It looks really bad. Glad i never went for the pre order. The combat isnt as fluid as the trailer made it out to be. Graphics are ps3 standard.
The combat is fluid af.. it just depends on your own skill level tbh.
Sure..
They're 3rd person action games with better freeform melee from 20yrs ago that put this pile of epic vomit to shame like of Crouching Tigre Hidden Dragon, True Crime Streets of LA, Indiana Jones n Emperors Tomb, God Hand, The Bouncer, The Warriors, Mission Impossible Operation Surma, Shenmue & James bond Everything or Nothing.
It looks redundant and annoying. Having 7 vs. 1 fights, where your hits are like fluffy pillows, is unenjoyable. I give the game a 3 out of 10.
