    Game crashing bugs, textures not rendering properly, out of sync audio, controls like a PS1 game, lazy puzzles and general waste of a great IP.

    Please, if there is another Blacksad game made. Give it to a developer that cares about the work they do.    … Expand

    It’s unfortunate that Blacksad: Under the Skin fell prey to these foibles because it offers a story worth seeing to the end, even if a lack of optimization gets in the way. With a little more technical polish, these great characters in a great setting will be able to shine.

    Blacksad: Under the Skin is a faithful adventure worthy of the excellent comic book on which it is based. Its great atmosphere together with some very interesting mechanics, result in an intriguing story, whose development is quite satisfactory.

    It might take a while to find your footing with Blacksad, but that's okay. The characters are charming and the story is interesting as well. Unfortunately the game doesn't control that well and the graphics are disappointing as well.
