I think Sifu is a mechanically outstanding game, which we will undoubtedly remember fondly, it is a project that is very reminiscent (Obviously) of Absolver, and that knows how to take advantage of what was learned and improve it.
The story is basically an excuse to justify the game's resurrection mechanic, nothing more, the game itself is short and invites replayability of the main mode as well as playing the arenas which takes way much more time than the main mode to complete and filled with references to martial arts and action movies.
Overall, it's a very good game and I'm excited to see what they do next.
