CG writes: Enter the dark world of anthropomorphic animals (animals which look like humans) in Blacksad Under The Skin on consoles and PC. Set in a post-war New York City, you play as private dick John Blacksad. He’s a troubled cat-human with a keen eye for detail and a hard-boiled approach to solving crimes. In this instance a missing boxer and the supposed suicide of a boxing gym owner. Tasked by the now deceased gym owner’s daughter to solve the mystery, is Blacksad Under The Skin worth while for adventure fans?
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
