Finding The Botanist! (The Death System Is Amazing!)
Well Hello There Fellow Gamers And Hivers!
Dramatic Shifts!
So here I thought that I was going to be that badass character at the start of the game! Laughs nah! I'm the little kiddo that hid away in the closet and the bad guy that was me actually killed my father! In the game of-course, obviously!
But the entire idea of the game is actually put together quite nicely! A few cool ideas that I have never seen in games and some that are critically stupid! Laughs! Some that are both cool and stupid but the idea of it is more cool than anything! The one I am referring to is the age thing in the game! You'll learn all about it soon enough!
The aging does make me a little worried to say the least! But meh it's a game!
The Board Of Players!
This is something that I find rather cool! Okay not so sure if it is original but I haven't played a game where there was anything similar to this in it!
Quite the idea to portray your progress and information that was caught on a actual whiteboard right!? I mean is this a business or what! Now for the character I am playing it might be, he is dead set on revenge and the fact that they tried killing the kid a few years ago really boosted that idea!
Either way this is one game that I am glad I managed to claim!
This Is Unique!
So I was walking around the apartment and I noticed this little tree in the garden and at first I didn't think much of it at all! But I saw that you can act on it so I went up to it and "used" it!
I did not expect to see that it was my skill tree at all!
So I am assuming that the more skill you gain the bigger the tree grows which in my opinion is really something whack!
I'm keen on seeing how it will grow dang!
The Warehouse!
Ahh it feels nice to be back in the streets knocking teeth out!
Now I'm not exactly sure where this will lead but the warehouse is some place run by druglords! So I am assuming that I am going against drug lords.
More so a guy named The Botanist! Or that is what they call him!
These are just common street thugs that I'm knocking up though!
The Real Fighters!
After clearing out the apartment building I snuck through I jumped over to another building! I have to say this is quite cool! Being able to jump from building to building!
The problem is that once I've crossed over I tend to dive into some deep shit! Like this time and then there is no going back!
I ran into three high powered fighters but I had a plan for them and it involved my pipe!
Don't get me wrong I'll use weapons! I also wanted to add this in earlier but I sort of forgot! This game is insanely hard, really! I had to restart the game and set to lowest difficulty and I crossed over with the skills already gained! It's still hard! Or maybe I am just really crap at the game!
Wrong Turns!
I would say not for me at-least! This was hard on the medium difficulty and after that I lost too many years so I did run this one on the easy difficulty.
Now this felt really powerfull in its own magnitude, beating up an isle full of misfits! This is going to be fun!!
The best part will be coming out on the other side victorious!
Merely Starting!
Oh but we were only getting started with the opponents I had to fight! I thought the corridor was the top point of opponents for this round! I was slightly mistaken! The Botanist was of-course the top point and I thought I would fight him after I fought this chunker of a trooper!
I made quick work of him though!
As soon as I got the knockout position I took it and I took it with both hands! It's a big fella so I tried making quick work which happened to pan out in my favour!
The Botanist!
Ahhhh finally I met up with this guy!
Finally I can kick some real butt! Oh for those who wondered this is the guy who tried to kill me as a kid! I am going to make light work of him! Or he might make light work of me instead!
Whichever way the coin will tip let's flip it!
This was an incredibly hard fight! I mean this! I went from age 21 up till 24! And keep in mind that I started on age 20! So I grew four years in this one chapter! That means I died four times! Three of those four times to "The Botanist!"
Heck I got him at the end but damn it was hard killing him and just thinking about how hard it will be to kill everyone in between! Heck! I might need to hit up the arena and practice some more before I jump into the rest of the story line!

Ok ok! SIFU is getting good, I'm playing it too as I told you last time, I finished the OKUPA part and I'm now in the Lava Club! The death system is something that I'm still trying to adapt to, I also discovered that with the statues you can reduce X amount of years, I think it's the best way to spend experience. So far I've really liked the entire combat system, and the second world is brutal, I hope you enjoy it.
SIFU is good dude I'm genuinely surprised it is a bit wonky but the idea behind the game. It feels so original. Loving it and the story line, hooked me by just having and being able to play a story line was amazing!
The death system and all that pretty unique! On what are you playing it? I started on medium and dude screw me I run through the years.
I switched to easy difficulty instead. I didn't notice the reducing years on the statues but I did push everything into increase health on a kill😀😜😜😜🤣🤣🤣 I'll be sure to check it out though, might be usefull! But at the moment I am downloading GTA V
Yes, I also feel a lot of that classic style in the game, I think I got hooked on how they reproduced the genre itself. I want to finish it hahaha, I don't want to download so many games and not end up playing any, or play every 3 months, I tell you that last year I had a lot to do and I really want to stay constant, including here on HIVE haha.
But well, the same thing happened to me, I started on medium difficulty, and I reached old age very quickly, practically when I killed the crazy guy on the grass xD I was about 70 years old haha. So I had to put it on easy, the game has a lot of the arcade combat of the time, I'm sure it could be played with the classic stick and button controls like in the final fight machines. Getting the hang of the combat, I won't lie to you, is hard. Haha!
The way I see it, it's that kind of game to release full stress. Just imagine walking around beating the crap out of anyone who gets in your way.
It's major fun dude. You should give it a try, punching the crap out of them is so satisfying!!!
Maybe at some point I'll get the chance to try it. This game reminded me a lot of one from my childhood that I played on my PlayStation One, it's called “Fighting Force”, that game is tremendous, from the moment you start you are falling to blows with everyone hahahaha xD.
Sifu is a game hard as fuck haha, I wish you good luck, I'm having problems with the second zone so I stopped playing and I'll keep trying some other time, rn I've been playing Yakuza and Cyberpunk, but honestly Sifu is one hell of an indie.
Not to worry I find it insanely hard as well... although I think when you actually get to pass the levels it's so much more rewarding!
Great game though even if it is difficult as hell!!
I still need to try out Yakuza, maybe later this year!
Seems like a really interesting concept for a game. I may have to check this one out.
