To be fair to IGN, most games aren’t only a few hours long. The reason most reviews are just ok is because they gotta binge a 30 hour game in a single week, maybe even only a few days. Doesn’t allow for a lot of in depth Analyst unlike a short game in that same time span

One of the rare times where the game review score truly matches the game's quality. Mitchell Saltzmann is definitely one the best reviewers in IGN and this review is yet another showcase of that. As someone who's sunk in nearly 100 hours into Sifu at this point, Mitchell's review seems to be the best one that really understands the game's vision and what it really is.

This guy is the best reviewer IGN has

Sifu's system reminds me more of something like a Tony Hawk level than a Roguelike level. The fun is in absolutely mastering it on repeated playthroughs, and the gameplay is so fun that you don't need loot or randomization to make that part really, really fun.

@virgilhawkins5680

2 жыл бұрын

The difference is in stakes. No matter how many times you fail to complete a challenge or challenges in THPS, it doesn't reset your progress. You still have your stat points and previously completed goals. You still have the same level unlocks. This game punishes you with impunity at increasingly high stakes, i.e., roguelike.
