In 2022, the French developer Sloclap, the studio behind Absolver, released an action game called Sifu for PlayStation and PC. From a distance, it looked like a typical third-person beat-em-up, just one with stylized visuals. However, the game had far more depth than it could seem at first glance. In Sifu, players must seek revenge for their slain father by making their way through five enemy-filled levels and killing those who were responsible for his death. The game is brutally difficult, and every time the player character dies, they gradually get older. Getting up there in age does have its perks; although the protagonist's health is decreased, they gradually gain more experience and become more powerful as time goes on. If they get too old, however, they permanently die, and players have to restart the game from the very beginning.
