    Problems aside though Blacksad: Under the Skin is an interesting tale of murder and corruption that presents in one of the best takes on the adventure game formula-multiple endings, choices that really matter, and a cast of characters that are extremely engaging. I never felt like the story was coming out of left field with its ideas, and was shocked when I started figuring out what was happening. I love this game and if the Life Is Strange or one of the many Telltale series has ever been enjoyable, I think there’s a lot of enjoy in Blacksad.

    Despite the technical problems and in movements, Blacksad has proved to be a pleasant experience. History keeps interest from the beginning to the end; the characters have character and contribute their involvement in the story; The ability to gather objects and research, make the gameplay more exciting and, in the end, there is a real need to make sound decisions and solve the case successfully.

    Thanks to the continuous patches the game is currently playable and all critical issues are solved, version 1.06 in Ps4.
    Nevertheless the game is still very poor technically showing one of the worse uses of the unity engine with some PS1 textures and having a "Grim fandango" tank control.
    On the other side if you like film Noir and an adult compelling story that will keep you interested till the end this game is a must.
    Beside the technical issues the game adapts very well the awarded Spanish comic into the video game language with and incredible cinematography. It has also a perfectly fitting jazz OST.
    If you like graphic adventures in general or the Telltale games, give it a try, with it's current price this game will not disappoint you.    … Full Review »
