Nov 20, 2019Blacksad: Under the Skin is stylish, involving, exciting and despite its animal characters – or because of them – harrowingly humane, a gripping pastime for any mystery buff.
-
Nov 15, 2019Blacksad is a thrilling adventure with interesting and multi-faceted characters, a great visual style and an atmospheric soundtrack.
-
Dec 16, 2019The voice acting and music add to a great atmosphere that will certainly draw you in and you won’t be able to help trying to figure out “whodunnit” before the game finally lets you put all the pieces together. It’s a fun game with a few quirks… but if you like detective adventure games then this may just be right up your alley… just be careful it’s not a dark alley with mobster goons!

Dec 30, 2019Blacksad: Under the Skin is a great first step of famous noir cat detective into the world of gaming. Even though your experience will be riddled with graphical bugs and some unoriginal design choices, the story and characters will buy you and take you for a fun detective ride for a few hours.

Dec 2, 2019Blacksad: Under the Skin is an adventure that moves away from the classic point and click structure, but it's far from perfect in the ambitious game design. That said, Pendulo Studios game is pleasant to play and overall unmissable by fans of the original comic.

Nov 22, 2019A nice idea for an adventure game, set in a very interesting world that is based on the great Spanish comic of the same name. Blacksad: Under the Skin has many good qualities, like its noir atmosphere and story, alongside some negatives like its pacing issues and a few technical problems.

Nov 13, 2019It is in the performance where he falters, with a slow, frustrating rhythm and a development that lacks polish, which sometimes dissuades the player from wanting to move forward.

Nov 18, 2019Overall, despite all the frustrations, I enjoyed being a broody detective cat. I just wish the game itself was as strong as the story it was trying to tell.
