Good story, not so good performance
Blacksad: Under the Skin is the game about private detective in a world of animals, based on the comic that has the same name. People loved it for the gritty story, nice water colored drawing, noir and desperation. One even could compare it to Fables and Wolf Among Us, though the story might be more grounded. And I can assure you, that Pendulo Studios nailed the story, whodunnitt is probably one of the only things that could still carry your through that game, because almost everything else will try to push you away. Except, maybe, music. Main theme in the beginning and jazz is top notch. Anyway, there are many things that are simply not comfortable. This game is heavily influenced by Tell Tale and it's pretty much the same but the controls are clunky. You will spend most of the game trying to look for the places of interest like it's a good old pixel hunting adventure. And sometimes you'll get even stuck because you missed one or too. There are also some weird collectibles in this game - Blacksad finds pieces of sport cards that he sticks in his album called Hall of Fame. And those cards are almost easy to find - but hard to pick. You have to stand in a particular spot and in a particular camera view to get some. You can only imagine how I was mad when I saw one sticking from the pipe and spend 5 minutes walking around it without luck getting it. The graphics is very low budget. I don't know what engine they used but it looks like Unity, some characters look like they made of rubber. The spec requirements are way above that it looks and it also locked at 30 fps. One of the major problems that you can't skip ANYTHING. There are also many lags, sometimes game stucks at 99% load screen, subtitles don't show on time eventually and character models forgot to open their mouth when they talk. At the end - I hope they fix most of the problems, because it's worth it.
