Developed by French studio Sloclap, Sifu<\/em> is a must-play Kung Fu-style third-person action game that takes place in modern-day China.<\/p>\n

Although the game was released in February, it seems that the title hasn\u2019t quite got its moment in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

To no fault of its own, much of the gaming community was swept off its feet in the first quarter of 2022 with fantastic offerings that included Horizon Forbidden West<\/em> and the highly successful Elden Ring<\/em>.<\/p>\n

These games definitely deserve attention, but with such titles gaining so much popularity, other gems like Sifu<\/em> have taken an undeserved backseat in the eyes of the gaming community.<\/p>\n

This article merely serves as a reminder that if you skipped Sifu<\/em> when it launched in mid-February, now is the perfect time to circle back and give the game a well-deserved chance.<\/p>\n

Sifu\u2019s Premise<\/h3>\n

Like many good old-fashioned action movies, games, and comics, Sifu<\/em> follows a story of revenge.<\/p>\n

The game will have players take on the role of Sifu, a martial arts student who sets on a path to hunt down the assassins who are responsible for your father\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The game will take you through the hidden corners of an unknown Chinese city, from gang-ridden suburbs to the cold hallways of corporate towers.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll face countless enemies whom you\u2019ll have to battle in hand-to-hand combat.<\/p>\n

Addictive combat mechanics<\/h3>\n

The game\u2019s combat system is unique and sets it apart from other titles.<\/p>\n

Sifu<\/em>‘s incredibly satisfying combat can make you feel like an action-movie hero as you deliver nearly nonstop beatdowns to an endless parade of underworld thugs.<\/p>\n

The seamless flow of attack and response is addictive and oddly beautiful, while the visceral nature of a punch, kick, or weapon blow lands with a weight that mirrors the brutality that unfolds on-screen.<\/p>\n

The game demands careful positioning and clever use of the environment to survive the onslaught.<\/p>\n

Each unique environment offers throwable objects, makeshift weapons, windows, and ledges which allow you to improvise and adapt to each situation.<\/p>\n

The pure satisfaction of delivering a bone-crunching blow to some thug\u2019s face will provide you with hours of entertainment.<\/p>\n
