As alluded, your defensive techniques are all-important, and chief among them is your ability to avoid either high or low attacks. Sifu isn't without its frustrations, however. Overcoming what was once a seemingly insurmountable challenge is what Sifu is all about, and when you're eventually running through earlier levels without breaking a sweat, you realise just how rewarding this game is. Immaculate animations combine with excellent sound design to create one of the most impressive tributes to martial arts that we've ever experienced in a video game. When you're in the zone, Sifu is ridiculously good. We have no doubts whatsoever that a lot of players will think about bouncing well before they've seen most of what Sifu has to offer - but if you can break through that initial barrier to entry and accept every defeat as an opportunity to learn, then there's nothing quite like SloClap's latest. We might only be three paragraphs into this review, but you'll probably already know whether Sifu is your kind of game. Simply put, Sifu doesn't pull any punches - if you'll pardon the pun. Incoming blows can be high or low try to evade the wrong one and you'll get clipped. Even when you're up against low-health lackeys, you need to consider spacing, combos, and environmental hazards. There's a lot to wrap your head around right from the off - and this isn't the kind of action game where you can just dodge roll around your problems or parry your way to victory. But there are no difficulty options in Sifu, and outside of a brief opening level that teaches you key moves, you're very much left to figure things out all by yourself. Sifu has a steep learning curve - the kind of learning curve that you typically find in fighting games, or more hardcore action titles like Devil May Cry. If you thought that Sifu was going to be a pure kung fu power fantasy, you're in for a world of hurt. It's a classic tale of martial arts revenge told across several urban stages, each one boasting unique combat encounters and brutal bosses. We expected Sifu to be challenging - but we didn't think it would be this unforgiving.
