Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 weeks agoSifu looks good but I’m kind of scared of it. I’m not sure I’m good enough to enjoy it, I might be too old and slow. I’ve stayed away from the Elden Ring DLC for the same reason, and likewise Sekiro.

There’s a story/cinematic difficulty, but I haven’t tested it out. The standard difficulty is a challenge, but in my experience it felt fair. I’ve never played a Soulslike so I don’t have a point of comparison on that front lol.

Sifu is more like a fighting game it looks like, but fundamentally the crux of the difficulty will be reacting to input - just like a Souls-like. And well, I feel like the challenge is the fulcrum of a game like Sifu. All I’ve heard about it is that it’s great, but hard, and the virtue of the game is overcoming that difficulty. I don’t know that the story and presentation is good enough that I’d enjoy it on Story difficulty.

Fair enough. There’s always the two-hour grace period for refunds. The first “real” level after the tutorial eases you in pretty well, so if the gameplay doesn’t click there I’d take it as a sign. It’s a unique game that punishes hard for mistakes, so it won’t click with everybody.
