10 Recent Video Games That Got Beat In Record Time
1. Sifu (17 Minutes)
Much like Returnal, Sifu's runs are divided into the Fresh File and New Game+ categories, though beyond allowing you to keep your permanently unlocked skills, a repeat playthrough still requires a supernatural level of skill and concentration to power through.
The current New Game+ world record is held by Cranky12, who completed Sifu in just 17 minutes and 23 seconds, a run which he claims is far from perfect as he lost precious seconds on the second phase of the final boss, Yang.
Cranky also holds the world record for a Fresh File run at 40 minutes and 34 seconds, and so whichever run you prefer, he's clearly developed an absurd command of the game's combat mechanics alongside a near-impossible degree of situational awareness. Incredible isn't even the word.
