Sifu is one of the best independent games of recent years. The passion that Sloclap clearly had for this project can be felt in every aspect of it. From its story that takes the conventions of the Hong Kong action genre, and puts an interesting twist on it, though reaching the conclusion is a bit clunky; going through its great visual and auditory presentation, which manage to transport us to a world that is based on our reality, but also shows us the corrupted minds of the villains; to its gameplay that nurtures beat'em ups by borrowing a number of concepts from rogue-lites, and adding an original idea. What we see here is top notch.
