More about Sifu
Critics scored it 81. Players sit 11 points higher at 92 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
18 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2025 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,176 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 191 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 2,163 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
