Sifu PC reviews – our roundup of the critics’ scores

Intriguing new martial arts action-adventure Sifu is out this week on Tuesday, February 8, and while on console it’s a PS5 exclusive it’ll also be available on PC at the same time via the Epic Games Store. The critics’ reviews are out now, so is the Sifu PC version a well-optimized delight or a Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?

Sifu certainly seems to be a divisive game, at the very least. Review scores range from 90/100 all the way down to 40/100 – and both of those scores are attributable to more than one publication. The OpenCritic score – that incorporates both PS5 and PC versions – sits right in the middle at a still-respectable 79, and the Metacritic score for the PC version specifically is a slightly lower 76.

Rock Paper Shotgun’s unscored review describes Sifu as “the ultimate, get annoyed, put the game down, come back later and make tons of progress, type of game” and its reviewer gave the game one of its “bestest bests” awards. Destructoid was similarly praise-worthy, noting that it’s a very difficult game but is “a challenge worth taking on and overcoming”.
