“All the difficulty of a souls game tightly condensed into an extremely stylish brawler. Worth buying when it's on sale.”
“This is probably one of the best games i have played this year. I know im late to the game but its aight. The graphics look like Life of Strange graphics. I love the martial arts and refference from movies. The game is…”
“After finishing Sifu at age 20, I can say the game is genuinely great and one of the best hand-to-hand combat games I’ve played. I’ll be 100%ing the achievements too. The biggest thing that stands out is how the game…”

“The moment I saw a YouTube video of somebody playing this with a Batman mod, I knew I had to have this. This game makes you feel like a badass. Let's be clear...I suck at this....the majority of my hours on record is me…”

“It seems like an interesting and visually impressive game, but the lack of support for a regular budget controller is disappointing. I’ve played other Steam titles with this controller without any issues.”

“A very unique and difficult game that really makes you improve with each defeat. It only has five scenarios, but you'll want to replay them to keep improving, gain skills, start at a better age, or collect everything.…”
“Extremely challenging and very skill expressive. A fantastic game if you let yourself fail to come back a better player. With a total of a hundred twenty something hours between steam and epic this is one of my favorite…”

“Very good game with a great combat system. My father is actually professionally trained by some of the people who worked with Bruce Lee and I had him try out the game. As a man who does not play many video games it was…”
“Sifu: Peace Is the Final Technique One of the best indie games I have ever played. The story is straightforward, but many of its details are told through clues and subtle moments that become clearer after the opening…”

“seemed like a nice game mechanically but whenever I would sprint/dodge or look around too quickly the camera would randomly flick around until I stopped pressing any keys.”

“Game stutter and camera snapping. Definitely not the PC. Even tried working around but it seems is a common issue.”
“TL;DR Great game, fighting is fun and fluid, pretty difficult at times but manageable. Would definitely recommend. Sifu is a GREAT game. The fighting and kung fu looks flashy and each hit feels like it actually hits.…”
“El juego es muy entretenido las mecanicas, es algo muy interesante. TRISTEMENTE (Ya es de mi equipo) No puedo jugarlo de manira chida. (Mira mis SPECS) de alguna manera corrio xD JUEGUEN ESTA CHIDOOOO”

“A Brutal, Beautiful Lesson in Kung Fu and Humility Sifu isn’t just a game, it’s a test of patience, a cinematic masterpiece, and a digital mid-life crisis all rolled into one. Developed by Sloclap, this is a title that demands your absolute respect. If you go into this thinking…”

— a player, Steam review · 28 hrs played“Sifu is a game I wanted to like more; my feelings as I played oscillated rapidly between "hell yeah" and "what the hell was that".
