This is possibly the best have I've played in 2022, and frankly far supercedes AAA titles such as Elden Ring. As I love the rule of 3, I will name the three things I love about Sifu:
1. Wonderfully hard combat with constructive learning - by that, I mean the skills you learn as a player build on themselves. Brutally punishing, you can't let yourself get hit, but the cinematic fighting makes the reward of victory so gratifying.
2. Beautiful visuals and art style, combined with great music. I love the animation, not sure how to describe it but it's very evocative.
3. Progressive XP and new moves system. I love growing and getting new abilities, but Sifu does it by adding new capabilities and moved rather than making you hit harder or take more hits, that's handled through the death system. All the moves are useful, and they look so cool.
Great game. Buy this game. Watch this company.
