049 - SIFU (2022) - A Lesson in Vengeance and Mastery

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.

048 – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Review (PS5)

This week, we dive web-first into Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PS5 – from symbiote suit smackdowns to soaring with the new Web Wings. We break down Insomniac’s ambitious sequel, dig into the major story twists (spoiler warnings in place), and chat about what makes this the most cinematic Spider-Man game yet.


We’re also talking community shoutouts (big thanks to Ray from Meath!), plus the drama surrounding the Insomniac hack that revealed future Marvel plans.


Spidey superfans, PS5 players, and anyone into story-driven superhero chaos—this one’s for you. It’s fast-paced, full of craic, and slightly more stable than Peter Parker’s personal life.


Hit play and swing along with one of Ireland’s top indie gaming podcasts.

047 - Metro 2033 Redux Review — Life’s Better Underground (Apparently)

In this week’s episode of Unskippable Dialogue, Conor takes us deep below the ruins of Moscow to review Metro 2033 Redux on PS5 — the grim, claustrophobic shooter based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s cult novel. Expect talk of radiation, railcars, and rage-quitting mutants, as Pearse probes Conor on everything from the game’s lore and atmosphere to why every faction underground is somehow still at war.


The lads also chat about the art of the “7/10 game,” why Metro works best when it’s human vs human (not mutant vs man), and how the game’s linear tunnels might actually make it one of the purest post-apocalyptic experiences ever made.


Tune in for Irish gaming banter, mild existential dread, and the usual dose of dry humour from Belfast’s most unskippable podcast.


🎧 Perfect for fans of retro shooters, Fallout nostalgia, and post-apocalyptic storytelling.

046 – Nintendo Direct & Sony State of Play: Could’ve Been an Email

Our cold opens are colder than Pearse’s studio heater, but we’re back with a jam-packed episode about two streams that probably should’ve stayed in someone’s inbox.

First up: Nintendo Direct (12 Sept 2025) – Mario’s 40th birthday, a second Mario movie, Super Mario Galaxy remaster drama, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on a motorbike, Fire Emblem’s new tactics spin-off, and Pokémon’s latest entry looking like a questionable “Starmie with legs.”


Then: Sony State of Play (24 Sept 2025) – from rogue-lite Saros to the Deus Ex remaster, PSVR peripherals, and that long-awaited Wolverine trailer that’s violent, flashy and maybe hiding a few claws of concern.


Plus: we unveil our new “send us a voice note” tool at https://UnskippableDialogue.com/send-us-a-voice-note — be like Felix from Germany and share your hot takes with us.


It’s an Irish gaming podcast full of sarcasm, nostalgia and the occasional Sabrina Carpenter reference. Grab a cuppa, poke your Pokéballs, and press play.

045 - Pokémon ROM Hacks Reviewed: Rocket Red, Radical Red & Why Fans Do It Better

This week on Unskippable Dialogue, Conor takes Pokémon to task and then shows it some love by exploring the fascinating world of Pokémon ROM hacks.


Fed up with buggy releases like Scarlet & Violet and uninspired gimmicks, Conor dives into fan-made alternatives that keep the franchise alive. From the brutal difficulty of Radical Red to the jaw-dropping story of Pokémon Rocket Red(where you play as a Team Rocket grunt and discover a wild MissingNo twist), this episode is part review, part manifesto against mediocrity.


Expect passionate rants, retro handheld nostalgia, and plenty of Irish gaming banter as Pearse and Conor debate whether Game Freak has lost its way — and why fan devs might just be saving the series.

043 - House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii, 2009)

Pearse dives into Sega’s grindhouse rail-shooter House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii, 2009): development by Headstrong Games, how it plays in 2025, that infamous Guinness World Record for swearing, and whether its B-movie humour still land. Gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, Metacritic reception, sales, and plenty of tongue-in-cheek Irish banter.


Could you sharpen your Wii Zapper and your sense of humour. In this retro video game review, Pearse revisits House of the Dead: Overkill (2009) — Sega’s gloriously trashy, grindhouse take on the classic light-gun series. We cover the game’s Headstrong Games development, BlitzTech engine presentation, on-rails gameplay and co-op chaos, plus the scratchy-film visual style, funky soundtrack, and how its cheeky, sweary script has aged in 2025.


You’ll hear:

  • The story (Agent G, Detective Isaac Washington, Varla Guns) and why the B-movie parody worked.
  • Guinness World Record: nearly 3% of the dialogue is the F-word—does that fly today?
  • Controls, weapons, Director’s Cut, co-op mayhem—why it’s still a couch classic.
  • Reception & sales: Metacritic snapshot, and the game’s cult legacy.
  • 2025 verdict: timeless arcade fun or juvenile shock value? (…Why not both?)

If you love Irish gaming podcasts, retro game deep dives, and a bit of grindhouse nonsense, this one’s unskippable.


Content Warning

Strong language discussion, gore, adult humour (reflecting the game’s tone).

041 - The Witch, the Plush & the Forest: Bayonetta Origins Reviewed

In this week’s episode of Unskippable Dialogue, the Irish gaming podcast that can’t be hexed or skipped, Pearse trades stilettos for storybooks as he dives wand-first into Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon – the unexpectedly heartfelt prequel to the bombastic Bayonetta series.


This cosy action-adventure takes our favourite Umbra Witch back to her roots – literally – with twin-stick puzzle mechanics, watercolor visuals, and a grumpy demon plushie named Cheshire. Pearse unpacks the gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, and story while tackling the real questions: is this spin-off a spellbinding hidden gem or just a filler chapter in the Book of Bayonetta?


Expect laughter, lore, light-hearted shade, and a few chaotic Tyra Banks-style Bayonetta puns thrown in for good measure.


For fans of video game podcasts, gaming reviews, Nintendo Switch titles, action-adventure games, and anyone who enjoys an Irish gaming podcast with wit, warmth, and the odd cheese pun.

037 - Switch 2, Capcom Chaos & Kojima's Wild Ride – Summer Games Fest 2025 Recap

This week on Unskippable Dialogue, your favourite Irish gaming podcast duo, Pearse and Conor, unpack the biggest reveals, controversies, and chaotic moments from Summer Games Fest 2025.


🔥 We kick things off with the blazing hot sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 – but it's not all smooth sailing. From ghosting screens to a paper-thin launch lineup (where are the games, Nintendo?), we break down why fans are hyped and hesitant.


🏁 Then it's pedal to the metal with Mario Kart World Online – the new mechanics are bold, but the internet's not thrilled with the online changes. Is it the future of karting, or just a crash course in subscriptions?


🧟‍♂️ Next, we deep dive into Capcom's showcase:

  • Resident Evil 9: Requiem surprise drop
  • The long-lost return of Pragmata
  • Fresh faces in Street Fighter 6 Year 3

🚶 And of course, it wouldn't be summer without a bit of Kojima madness. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach has landed, complete with whales, monorails, and metaphysical mail carriers. But is it a masterpiece or a bizarre delivery sim?


This episode is packed with banter, bold takes, and the best of gaming podcast chat. If you're into retro games, video game news, or want a good laugh while catching up on the latest in gaming, hit play and don't skip this dialogue.

🎧 Listen now and join the conversation – it's unskippable.

036 - Stray

In this episode of Unskippable Dialogue, hosts Pearse McCann and Conor King revisit Stray, the cyberpunk cat-simulator that took the world by storm — and then gently knocked our hearts off the shelf. Originally released as a free PS Plus title, Pearse returns for a second playthrough on PS5 to re-examine what makes Stray such a standout indie hit.


From its haunting, neon-drenched setting to the stunning art direction and evocative soundtrack, this feline-led adventure remains a beautifully-crafted gem. But it’s not all headbutts and nap spots — we dig into the divisive moment the cat gets a weapon, and whether this tonal shift derails the immersive worldbuilding or adds depth to the gameplay.


As always, we close with our patented Unskippable rating — and yes, Stray claws its way to a full recommendation.

Whether you’re a cat person, a cyberpunk fan, or just into games that don’t overstay their welcome, this one’s for you.

Unskippable Dialogue
033 - Layoffs

In this episode, we navigate a spectrum of hot gaming and broader tech industry topics. We kickstart with a look into Naughty Dog and Epic Games' workforce cutback and its ripple effects on Bandcamp. The chatter transitions to PlayStation Portal's pre-order spree and the speculated Monster Hunter title for Nintendo Switch 2. We also touch on the unsettling bug in Pokémon Scarlet, Violet’s recent update, and Team17's restructuring. The discourse extends to Capcom's contemplation on a game price hike due to escalating development costs.


We also delve into Fortnite's controversial 'Share The Wealth' emote, the changing guard at Sony with Jim Ryan's exit, and Glen Schofield's departure post-The Callisto Protocol. The discussion takes a legal twist with the mysterious case of Trump's lawyer's choice of Laptop in a New York fraud trial. In a blend of art and gaming, we explore the exquisite Van Gogh Museum and Pokémon card collaboration and the following scalping saga.


Join us for an exhilarating discussion as we dissect the undercurrents shaping the gaming realm and beyond, unveiling the narratives that matter.
