I LOVE THIS GAME - soundtrack - writing - art direction - how much love it shows to source material the only minus is it does not work on my PC, luckily it works on my roommates Pc I don't even mind Blacksad getting stuck on environment and walking slowly, whatever I enjoy the atmosphere I enjoy every minute I spend in this game when it works (not on my PC). I wish this game was not such bugged mess because I SO DEARLY WISH we could get more. This is the only story driven game I played where failures and quick time events actually felt meaningful and fun to play through. The creators really did something special right here, it just really needed some more time and few passes on fixing bugs, because again there is 50% chance of this game being unplayable due to random bug.

I really enjoyed it. I recommend it to fans of noir, good jazz music, and a slow-paced narrative with a great plot. Unfortunately, the studio closed and the game remains patched, but I overlooked that. It's perfect for fans of cartoons and detective stories🌼 I wish this game become more popular

Tbh, the game has some, let's say issues. But it is fun. If you are able to bear some graphical glitches and are cool with the character design, you get a solid and intense noir detective story. I would definitely recommend this game for a cozy weekend. Müsst ihr wissen

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! Actually enjoyed it a lot more than I originally thought I would. I loved the art style, the characters and overall story. Even the detective work with finding evidence and piecing together clues. This game did a great job with reeling me into it story-wise, I became invested in it. This game is great if it pulls you in, like it did with me. If you're skeptical or on the fence about it doing that, I'd recommend watching the beginning part thru some gameplays to get a feel if it's up your alley.

I thought it was a point and click game. It was hard for me to try to save Blacksad pressing the spacebar multiple times is a hard task for a point and click gamer like me but thank God I finished it. I really loved the game, the story and the twist I never ever imagined the ending. My John was 100% Romantic I didn`t know I was that romantic. If the controlling was easier for me I would play it as many times as I could to make as many decisions as I could.
