[@1knownasgream]

Appreciate the review, went to grab the deluxe edition to play with early access and the game won't download on the playstation. Prior to buying says available 4am its currently 7:57 . Waiting hours still wont download .

[@silveriver9]

Chinese instruments are used, not Japanese 🤦‍♂️

[@Maekar19]

Hey man great video thank you, I wanted to ask you since I could'nt find anywhere else, if you choose "go back to wuguan" does that mean you will also lose all of the abilities that you made permenant? Thank you for great content!!

[@dogface45]

You mentioned Sekiro which I got those vibes once I saw the guard bar but I'd that it's an amalgamation of the aforementioned and Sleeping Dogs which I was playing earlier.

[@doorshotel]

Hands down best reviewer in the business. Nobody else breaks it all down like ACG. The best.

[@scottd7222]

Skill up is solid but I do love me some ACG

[@thattrickytrickster612]

I also love the fact the devs decided to showcase Pak-Mei, a relatively unknown style of kung-fu. The style makes sense within the context of this story about revenge, because it’s a very aggressive and erratic looking art.

[@AztecUnshaven]

Yep! One of the main devs is also a legit Bak Mei student, and he got his sifu to do the Mo Cap.

[@yiklongtay6029]

Also way better for game design since each packet of animation is shorter than something like taichi. Short strikes

[@ILikeALF]

The amount of times I'm going to scream "I don't want trouble" while playing this....

Go get a ps3 and tekken and your 85% of the way there

[@jcaashby3]

I think I'll give this a go. Im 49 and it's the type of game I would have gotten as a kid without a thought.

[@TheMaynne1]

I'm 43 and having a BLAST. It's every movie we've watched, and WE control it!

[@Guerrilla_Grodd]

That hallway sequence looked more reminiscent of _Oldboy_ than _The Raid_ .. Can't wait to get my hands on this game!

[@thewarriors3048]

It is 100% influenced by Oldboy. Sifu is a love letter to martial arts movies. I truly believe this game could be genre defining similar to how Dark Souls was in 2011.

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

This really reminds me of a modern take on Godhand, from the combat and use of analogue in dodge to supercharged enemies if you prolong the fight, sweet!

[@sheldonjplanktonn]

Godhand is one of my favorite beat em up type games. So underrated :(

[@Dick_Valparaiso]

@@sheldonjplanktonn I never got into Godhand. I tried it at a friend's house. Looking back I wish I bought it. I will say that Urban Reign on PS2 is an immensely fun beat 'em up. Probably not as complex as Godhand I'd assume. UR's roots are firmly in Tekken. If you have a PS2 or emulator do try it. It's in my top 5 beat 'em up's easily.

[@singularityraptor4022]

Any pc equivalent of Godhand you guys could recommend? (besides Sifu ofcourse)

[@gunguntrio1247]

Godhand was definitely underrated. My favorite thing about it was you could create your own move sets and combos. That elevated the experience for me.

[@Dick_Valparaiso]

@@cactusmalone You'll have to let us know how that's going👌

[@AyoJayBird]

your videos always give a direct to the point honest opinion that i’ve came to value when purchasing a new game. obviously i’ll get some other perspectives as well but yours tends to give the most valuable feedback. great work as always on this one i’ll wait for a small sale.

[@psyboyo]

I just bumped into this video, and into this channel... loved your Total Biscuit style of review, that I never found again since. Bravo!

[@Oath55]

Keep up the great work ACG!!! Always look forward to your reviews. You always help me make educated decisions.

[@pranakhan]

Glad to hear good stuff about this game. As a life-long martial artist, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. There are not many games within the genre that aren't PvP, and I love a good story. Thank you for your wisdom, Game Master

[@Negative0ne]

This is the content I was looking for. Impressive work - I really appreciate it!

[@jazzorion1]

Some enemies “appear” to be invulnerable to things like sweeps, but you just have to figure out how to break them down. It’s part of the beauty of this game’s combat.

[@blackflame4506]

Definitely will keep my eye on this one. The combat looks super fluid, complex and visceral all in one. Thanks for the review ACG.

[@rofflesvanwagon]

Before I watch this review I've gotta be honest, I would be getting this game regardless. Absolver is one of my favorite games. Always a perfect time to watch ACG though. Thank you for the years of amazing reviews

[@jasondelong83]

Yeah, I didn't even know those devs were making this game, came out of left field for me. Absolver was an amazing experience.

[@rofflesvanwagon]

@@jasondelong83 for sure!

[@gir73]

What really baffles me is the sound design of the hits. Absolver did it so well and compared to it the punches just sound lacking. Like they really could use more oomph.

[@RobTheButcher]

Just want to say I appreciate the edit and writing of your videos. Great job! Keep it up.

[@MrNodnarbius]

I picked this up a couple of days early and had the Early Access to go along with it. After just 3 hours played, I have to say, this game is pretty killer. This review is pretty spot-on when it comes to the overall package. The graphics are nice enough; simple but effective. The animations are simply stunning. You'll get the odd thing here or there, but you know, it's still a video game. The sound is, honestly, just average. I enjoyed some of the music along the way, some of it was a little different. The voice work is, admittedly, pretty middling. I do agree with the sentiment toward enemy voicing though. The game play, though, is right where it's at. The fluidity of motion and control throughout is, as described in this video, pretty much one of a kind. I've been looking for something like this for a long time now, and finally, I think I have it. Obviously, like anything, it's not perfect. But, if you're looking to almost literally play a role in your very own martial arts masterpiece, this is the ONLY place to be. It wildly succeeds at what it sets out to do!

[@AzextonHunter]

Thanks for always being a reliable reviewer!

[@mazohyst1878]

Love watching these reviews, they're done so damn well. You're the one channel I come to.

[@TooBz2Play]

Great review as always. I was on the fence. I’ll pick this up now.

[@samvimes9510]

I'm not sure if I'll pick this up or not. My reflexes aren't that great so I'm not very good at these hard games that require a lot of dodging and parrying. But man, it is _so_ refreshing to see a game with an actual sense of artistic direction. So many games these days always go for a bog standard "realistic" art style. I miss when games were more stylized, like with cel-shading and other things. And those animations are _smooth._

[@kumalalakumalalaceo8304]

pick it up bro trust this game is gonna be fun

[@adad87821]

its honestly not hard once you master the controls honestly

[@shlokdhara5798]

@@adad87821 yup once you perfect just simply avoiding attacks and manage to make space once multiple enemies surround you, it's level of difficulty comes down. And they already show you how to effectively beat every boss in tutorial. In the first level, i beat fajar just without dying once because he mainly uses upper attacks which can be dodged by spaceber+s XD, and they show you that in tutorial.

[@Ladenstarfish]

About to dig into this. Loved Absolver

[@fdub301]

1:40 that’s the hallway scene from ‘Oldboy’ not ‘The Raid.’ Classic if you haven’t seen it. Edit: also, there’s an avoid mechanic that goes along with the manual dodge that Karak seems to have missed. It allows you to avoid & counter strikes without stepping out of range.

[@aidancav]

the funny part is this is probably the most important thing you need to learn in the game orherwise you will have a hard time

Apart from looking like Total Overdose (2005), the animations are quite fluid and gameplay is fun!

[@ninji5226]

Honestly I was stoked when I first heard the premise, less stoked when I seen the art direction (not a fan of the cartoony look) but back to stoked now that I see the movement and gameplay. This game with a more realistic art direction would be close to my dream game, but this might just do for now, looks fun.
