10 Most Formidable AI Enemies In Gaming

10. Standard Goons - Sifu

To make things fair, open-world titles like Assassin's Creed have enemies take turns attacking the main character. It may not be realistic, but it gives you a fighting chance.

However, Sifu decided to do away with this trope. Although it's hard to discuss Slocap's innovative beat 'em up without focusing on the aging mechanic, that shouldn't overshadow the remarkable enemy AI. Even though the protagonist is a martial arts expert with 150 moves under their belt, going against a dozen thugs is no easy task, especially when they swarm you all at once.

Though some enemies hang around in the back during a brawl, it's not to give you a chance. Instead, they're waiting for you to let your guard down so they can pounce.

After unlocking most abilities, you'd think these scraps would be a cake-walk. Instead, the baddies begin relying on cheap ploys. If you keep dodging their attacks, they'll sweep you off your feet. Other times, the goons hurl bats and pipes at you, chipping at your health while they keep their distance. They'll also encircle you any chance they get, to stop you escaping.

It just goes to show that no matter how powerful you think you are, the simplest foe can humble you if you're not paying attention.
