Audio cues could be used, but they’re not overly reliable considering you usually have a handful of enemies surrounding you from all angles. Even then, if you can see the enemy prepping an attack, they’re often pretty bloody quick to deal it so you need the reflexes to boot. One thing to note is that Sifu is not friendly for the blind as there is a heavy focus on seeing enemy body language in order to time any parry, block, or dodge.

As a result, while I find shorter lines of dialogue easy to read and follow the action because of their readability, the longer lines feel too long to read nicely, and when they cut off the edges, I’m left deciphering what could be being said. The issue here is that with subtitles being grouped with the HUD, and with there seemingly being no container or line breaks of sorts for the subtitles, when they’re large they break outside of the viewable area. Instead, subtitles are grouped in with the HUD scale, and increasing this to 200% makes the subtitles wonderfully large and legible. There aren’t speaker labels sadly, and there isn’t a subtitle size slider. You’ll also notice key character names or items are marked in bold. Subtitles are actually fairly impressive with thick text that have a background stroke as well as a background box capable of being applied. Most of these features also come with a preview GIF to the right-hand side so you can see comparisons of different values in action. However, some of the standout features is that the HUD can be increased by 200%, subtitle background opacities can be set, and remapping appears to be available.

You can find our Sifu menu deep dive here if you want a more in-depth look at what’s available. From there, the main menu opens and offers the chance to jump straight in or explore more settings, which is where I instantly visited. First Boot and Optionsįrom the first boot, after I’d done the general start-up screens such as brightness and language selections, the only accessibility feature to pop up was to enable subtitles really.

So, here’s our take on the kung fu title with my time focusing on the PC version. Additionally, I’ve been speaking with those who have played it on the PS5 to get a better understanding of some features. Now, Sifu does do a number of accessibility-focused things well, but my time with the game left me with a few concerns. While I’ll touch on this later in more detail, to nutshell it, when you die you don’t fail the game right away, instead you respawn, but each time you do, you grow older, making you more susceptible to damage, but stronger at attacking. Sifu is certainly a game that has sparked a lot of accessibility concerns for disabled players because of the conversations surrounding how the game handles difficulty, a topic we reported on last year.
