I finally got around to playing Sifu and it inspired a lot of feelings. It makes me think of two separate games from the past. Kung Fu Master (or Kung Fu as it was called on NES) and Shen Mue. As I was playing through the first stage I couldn't shake the feeling that Sifu felt like what I'd imagine a sequel or remaster of Kung Fu Master being. Especially the fight scene in the hallway. After beating the hell out of a room full of drug pushers, Shen Mue came to mind. I enjoyed Shen Mue 1 and 2. Didn't care for 3 because a lot of the flaws in 1 and 2 weren't addressed. I'm not a huge fan of playing online these days but Sifu makes me want to go back and try Absolver. Great game, runs really well on Steam Deck with no adjustments, just run it.
