Sifu

Got to the last stage at 48. I can easily get myself younger for this part. The end is in sight!

Managed to get the artist down at age 21.
Will definitely have her down with no lives lost by the weekend.

Tower will be tough though to get through unscathed.

Yeah, this is almost certainly going to be on my GOTY list, assuming it doesn't collapse in the last two missions. Utterly superb.

Got the Squats down at 20, now; thanks for the tips on taking out three of the enemies in the drug den prior to starting the brawl

Got Sean down at 26 now, too. But I totally fucked up and lost two stupid lives at the end, so that can definitely be improved.

Museum seems cool, so far.

First museum run through before you unlock the shortcut is an absolute bastard but a lot of fun.

I’m starting the last level at age 25 but my getting my ass handed to me by Yang. Determined to learn his moves but can’t figure out whether it’s best to parry or dodge.

Someone's beat the game in 22 minutes with zero deaths!

I can't beat Yang. Will be parking this for now with HFW and Elden next week. I shall return.

It took me loads of tries to even get to the museum, but then got all they way to the boss on the first go. Must have been in the zone. Got my 60 odd year old arse kicked straight away of course, but having the shortcut straight away is a godsend! Need hours of practice on the Artist now

Yeah I just got her down myself, despite many pointless deaths. Any good indicator/sound for the block window on her charge in P2? Thought the first phase was way more tricky than the second (thanks weapon catch), but could not get a consistent read on that particular attack.

Level was amazing, btw.

Yang down at last. Bit of a war of attrition, but he's really susceptible to parries, so taking the staff in helped a lot. Think I was in the early 40s by the time I got him, though, so it's going to be a bitch trying to get him at 20 (or at least sub-25 for the achievement).

Going to mop up the remaining detective stuff now. Got all other levels down without losing a life, as well. Feels crazy going back to the early ones and absolutely destroying them now lol

Genuinely my favourite game this year (only Feb) by a country mile. Nothing else like it really. Superb all round.

I’m one fight off getting the “true” ending.

5 trophies left to get.

I can’t decide whether this or Returnal is my game of the generation.

It’s damn close though.

Not sure, I just know you have to spare them.

This has me well and truly by the short and curlies.

Every time I think I've seen more or less all it has to offer and it's just the grind left, it shows something more, some deeper and more genius aspect of its level and game design that I previously hadn't glimpsed.

Just an unbelievably good game, made by people who know and love kung fu movies, with so much French flair and artistic visual and sound design.

I've got Sean down with no deaths, and starting The Tower age 34 and Sanctuary age 76. So close yet so far 😅

Yang down. Just working through trying to spare each boss now and tick off any remaining trophies.

What a game. The first 3 levels are up there as some of the best 3 levels in anything. So well designed and so much fun to play.

Comfortably one of the best games I've played in years.

A(nother) weird question from yours truly: has anyone tried remapping the controls for this game to make them more Souls-esque? If so, how well (or otherwise!) did it work?

Just to be clear, I'm thinking along the lines of Circle to dodge, R1 for light attacks, R2 for heavy attacks, L1 to deflect/parry, Triangle to interact, and so on.

I know some of the moves require two buttons to be pressed at once, so maybe that'd be a problem with what I'm proposing.
