VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When considering what Blacksad: Under the Skin accomplishes – mechanically and narratively – it's a shame its initial 2019 release was so rough. While still not polished to a purr-fect sheen, enough work has been done to lucidly evaluate the game proper: design, narrative, and so on. Sure, TellTale's trappings will be immediately felt – a couple of which are inconsistently implemented, but certain tweaks naturally map onto this world and give it a special attitude. Better yet, it's a sound foundation on which to support a well-acted & enthralling noir yarn that's worth unspooling."
TSA writes: Blacksad is a surprisingly charming interactive tale. Blacksad is an intriguing character, but open enough that you can shape him. While other characters don't stand out as much, the ensemble brings the story to life
The Humble Tales of Love & Adventure Game Bundle just launched today. It features Indivisible, Blacksad: Under the Skin, and Telltale Batman Shadows Edition, Tales of Monkey Island, and more. As usual, you pay what you want. A percentage goes to support charity.
yuck, furries
...not sure how I feel about this.
On the one hand, I absolutely love Detective Noir stuff.
On the other hand...furries.
The Blacksad comics were written and drawn by a Spanish ex-Disney animator (back when they did drawn animation) and that's why it has animal characters because it's what he knew. It's not a "furries" thing as some here make out, well at least not intentionally, maybe that crowd may like it but think of it more as a film noir thing done in a mature Disney style. I loved the comic novels as the art was breath-taking in it's detail and am looking forward to this game releasing but I have no interest in any weird humans portrayed as animal fetish.
