Thrilling story with flawed gameplay
Let's start with the good stuff: Blacksad's story is great. I loved the characters, the case, and how everything comes together, piece by piece. If you like good crime/detective stories, I think you'll enjoy this. However, the gameplay and the pacing of the game has some issues that have been stated in many other reviews. For example, the character moves too slow with no running or fast-walking option, and his movements are clunky. Another issue is the camera; it's too limiting, as if the game is forcing the camera to make it difficult for you to see stuff. One gameplay mechanic I want to praise, though, is the deduction system. Although there were times that the deductions were confusing or not following 100% the same train thought of its parts, it's a cool feature. It helped me to get into a detectivesque mood. Lastly, you can't skip scenes and dialogues. To add to that, there are many transitions in a scene or between two that take long to finish. Too long, in fact, as if the developers wanted to artificially stretch out the "hours of gameplay". The reason I'm pointing this out is that Blacksad is probably the narrative-driven game I wanted to replay the least. Overall, Blacksad is a good story that needed more polish gameplay and pacing-wise to shine.
