I am typially very bad at technical action games but having watched a quick YT tutorial I became pretty decent in a few hours and subsequently had a great time with this. It has a simple but compelling story told in a very Dark Soulsy way. Sifu has such distinctive art direction and varied encounter design that it was no chore playing through the game multiple times, to find all its secrets.
For those of you put off by the reviews saying how hard it is, I suggest watching any video explaining a couple of simple combos and how to beat the hardest bosses without cheesing them and the game will suddenly become much faster and much more engaging.
