Among the unexpected French games that marked the year 2022, there is, of course, the feline. lost and the explosive sifu. The former garnered awards around the world, ending up crowned best French game at the Pegasus ceremony – it won one of its three trophies – or even best independent game at the Game Awards. The second shone for reinventing the fighting game (beat’em up) and paying a fine tribute to the martial arts movies of yesteryear. And over a million units sold out quickly in just a few weeks.
Released on PS4, PS5 and Windows PC a little over a year ago, the game from the Parisian studio Sloclap ended up dishing out blows on Nintendo Switch as well. All I needed was to beat on Xbox too.

And this also accompanies the arrival of the first free expansion of the game called Arenas Mode.
The renaissance of the kung fu game.
if you missed sifuit’s time to catch up. sifu tells the adventures of Park Mei, a kung fu student – or student of your choice – whose master is murdered and who wages an epic revenge after each of the gang members responsible. But with each death suffered, you return to the game as you get older. Wiser and more powerful, but also older and less resistant.
Sloclap’s title stood out both for its magnificent sets of a contemporary Chinese city, its revival of the combat and adventure game, and for its difficulty. sifu is a ruthless game in which you have to have sharp reflexes, know how to dodge at the right moment to defeat your enemies
A tribute to the Kung Fu movies, to Bruce Lee and other actors who have honored the martial art, sifu has pampered its fighters since its launch with many seasonal updates rich in content and improvements (replay editor to share your fights, outfit modifier, advanced training mode, scoring system, etc.).
The new expansion brings 9 new areas and 45 challenges through five game modes: a Survival mode with your waves of enemies to repel, timed fights in Time Attack, defending a specific area in Capture, the search for perfect emotes in the mode Performance and Manhunt. mode for a manhunt (about 10 additional hours of gameplay).
