Summary

BLACKSAD: Under the Skin - A dark corruption scandal in the heart of the New York City's underworld for charismatic detective John Blacksad! Based on the noir comic series by the same name. The game features a noir detective story about a PI by the name of Blacksad that gets dragged into the case of a murdered boxing club. The game feature an interactive system much reminiscent of Grim Fandango where you have direct control of the character and only things that catch his gaze is interactable.

I want to like this game. But, man, was it clunky. If there's another one, hopefully they can partner with Telltale or a similar developer to polish the gameplay.

While a bit buggy at times, it's a great Noire detective game with fun puzzles and interactions

A fun but ponderous detective game. If you're into Telltale games, or want to solve an elaborate mystery, it's highly recommended.

I played it on Nintendo Switch and it’s very glitchy. I did enjoyed the game itself but it is rather long and slow paced.
