Critic Reviews
Blacksad: Under the Skin PC Review
Detective Noir with a furry bent.
82%Blacksad: Under the Skin review
Unaware of its absurdity, Blacksad: Under The Skin fails at much of what it attempts
68%Blacksad: Under the Skin Review
Blacksad: Under the Skin has a wonderful story, setting, and set of characters, and it clearly loves its source material. I just wish it also loved my time, as I often found it wasted by pixel hunting, pointless choices, and tons of glitches.
