Unforgiving combat and sharp timing. Sifu is not your typical fighting game. Smooth movement and sick combos are the trademark of the game, albeit the timing which takes time to get used to. Some of the combos are quite poor in term of mappings, and it seems that the transition from console to PC didn't work out quite well, take the Palm Strike or Sweeping for example, especially during the training in the beginning. The parry mechanism is hit-or-miss. The only consistent things are blocking and avoiding. Learning the enemies pattern is crucial if you wanted to make it through a level unscathed. Overall it's a really good game with a few gripes. While the first half is purely about Revenge, the second half of the game is all about seeking Wude.
