While I would get pummeled into the dirt during the first attempt at each challenge, I quickly learned the different enemy types I was facing and how to counter their specific attacks while also thinning the herd of pawns that accompanied them. Earn more points by achieving faster times, staying young, and whatever else you need to do to complete each objective, and continue to climb the challenge ladder. Finally, Survive puts you up against waves of enemies that get progressively stronger while you try to remain as young as possible. In Performance, you fight waves of enemies, trying to achieve the highest score you can by the end of the run. Manhunt is similar to Time Attack, however you have specific targets to take down as fast as you can. Time Attack times how long it takes for you to take down all your foes. The first is Capture where you’re trying to capture zones on the map while you’re constantly under attack. Earning enough points unlocks the next set of challenges for you to continue your mastery journey.Ĭhallenges can take five different forms. Each challenge has three levels of scoring, earning you a point for every level you achieve in the challenge. Challenges become increasingly difficult as you progress, putting you up against even fiercer opponents with different specialties. In the Arenas, you’ll go face-to-face… to foot… with street thugs, bosses, and other bad assets as you grind your way through 45 new challenge levels across nine different stages. You’ve got some unfinished business to attend to. Arenas will put your Kung Fu skills to the test so you, too, can become a Kung Fu Master. Fellow editor Noah Anzaldua reviewed the game for us last year, which you can check out here, but I’m actually here to talk about the new Arenas expansion. Sifu is a vengeance story of a young martial artist who sought revenge after witnessing the murder of their father. It’s a tribute to hong kong cinema.While we can’t all master Kung Fu in real life, we can at least try to master it virtually. The game is not a documentary of Chinese culture. You dont ever see these same journalists complain about Japanese developers making games about Western culture. This idea that white people cannot make games about other cultures is peak idiocy. We saw this same logic when Ghosts of Tsushima came out, American journos claiming the game is offensive to Asians/ Japanese culture yet Japanese gamers fucking loved the game, Heck the developers were made honorary ambassadors of the town of Tsushima because they thought the representation of their culture was so accurate. Chinese gamers and reviewers have loved the game. This game has actually been quite well received in China. So excuse me if i question their integrity when writing about this given they obviously have a bias. The very same writer whose twitter history contains quite a lot of racism towards white people. No, one writer at the dumpster fire known as “The Gamer” cried about the game because they believe only Asian people should be able to make games featuring Asian culture, Believing that this game being made somehow removes the ability for Asian developers to make such a game. ” Sifu was quite fairly taken to task by Asian communities in games for its haphazard implementation of Chinese languages and cultural touchstones. Even the real-world martial arts specialist the team turned to when researching for the game, Ben Colussi, is white. The review followed a report in January, also by Chan, that pointed out no one on the Sifu development team was actually Asian. In their review for The Gamer, Khee Hoon Chan called the game “a soulless caricature”. ![]() Sifu was quite fairly taken to task by Asian communities in games for its haphazard implementation of Chinese languages and cultural touchstones. ![]() I can’t remember the last time I saw complete consensus on Metacritic. The PS5 version holds an equal critic and user score, an 80 from critics and 8.0 from users. The game was immediately lauded by a great many outlets for its kinetic and combo-driven approach to combat, its steep challenge, and its novel age-to-power mechanic. Last week saw the release of Sifu, a martial arts action game with roguelike elements from French developer Sloclap. ![]() This week’s Community Review might be a more serious one, but it’s a conversation we should look at meaningfully.
