Sifu is a TPP action adventure game. The game focuses on martial arts and is closest to beat 'em up sub-genre. It was developed and published by Sloclap studio (authors of the interesting Absolver from 2017).
Sifu tells the story of a Kung-Fu adept whose family was murdered when he was still a young man. The protagonist has trained for years to take revenge on the perpetrators of the crime and now sets out to finally eliminate them.
In Sifu we observe the action from different perspectives (while moving around the locations, the camera is behind the protagonist's back, but its position changes when a fight takes place - then it shows us the events from different sides, and the shots are somewhat cinematic). The gameplay is about exploring the levels and fighting with encountered enemies.
The player fights both regular bandits (some of them are equipped with weapons, such as knives) and bosses. Dexterity and positioning play a key role here - we have to move in such a way as to avoid attacks and maximise damage inflicted on enemies using our surroundings. Sometimes we also take over items possessed by enemies for some time (we can inflict blows with them, as well as throw them). It's also worth noting that in Sifu the levels are partially destructible - you can destroy barriers or tables with your attacks, for example.
During the game the player's character gradually develops - we unlock new fighting skills (mainly powerful Pak-Mei Kung-Fu techniques).
In Sifu we can only play solo. The core of the game is the story campaign.
Sifu has an interesting, 3D graphic design, which in some respects may bring to mind the studio's previous game - Absolver (mainly character models). However, this time the developers used a slightly different, more cartoonish style. The spectacular animations also make a great impression.

Sifu Review: Woah… I Don’t Know Kung Fu…

Game is Recomended by 83% of Critics. There are 167 Critic Reviews.
TheGamer: 4 / 5 by George Foster
As someone who adores games like Spelunky for forcing the player to digest every bit of information, Sifu strikes that exact same spot with the force of a freight train, delivering a combat system that is truly unrivalled. As a game, it's one of the most engaging I've played in some time, it's just a shame that it won't appeal to all players thanks to its surprising difficulty and that it took some developmental liberties with representing Asian voices.
DualShockers: 7 / 10 by Stuart Mclean
When it comes to judging the Switch version of Sifu, things get a little tricky. At its core, it is still the same Sifu, and it's coming with all the extra content that has been pushed out since release, so fans and newcomers alike will still have the same great experience getting to grips with its frantic and reactive combat, but is it the best version of Sifu? Not really. If you've played Sifu on PlayStation or PC, there are a few noticeable differences that do detract from the experience and demote this version to last place. All things considered, it is still the same Sifu, and playing it in the palm of your hand is a satisfying and powerful experience that shouldn't be ignored if you have not played Sifu before.
Game Informer: 7.3 / 10 by Ben Reeves
Mastering Sifu's combat system takes a high degree of dedication and practice, but like a true martial artist, you must push through the practice pains before you reap any rewards.
