Sifu | S1:E8

Nominated for Best Fighting Game, Best Independent Game, and Best Action Game at the 2022 Game Awards, Sloclap’s post-Absolver title delivers a combat experience that is unrelenting in its presentation. Sifu is the embodiment of “mastery through practice,” as the player follows a protagonist that dedicates their life and martial art to vengeance (and then redemption) against the man who killed their father. In this episode, Sy and Gabriel unpack Sifu’s brutally precise combat system and deep narrative parallels.
