In this week’s episode of Unskippable Dialogue, Conor takes Pearse through Sifu. Slow Clap’s brutal, stylish martial arts brawler that turns every punch, parry, and defeat into a lesson in patience, precision, and self-improvement.

Set in a gorgeously stylised, cel-shaded world inspired by Hong Kong action cinema, Sifu puts players in the shoes of a young martial artist avenging their murdered master. But vengeance has a cost: every death ages you, and mastery demands more than brute force; it demands letting go.

Conor and Pearse break down how Sifu’s rhythm-based combat, roguelike progression, and clever level design transform kung-fu into a meditative experience about control, growth, and when to stop fighting. Expect discussions on the game’s cultural authenticity, the philosophy behind its “true ending,” and why Sifu might be the best Daredevil game never made.
