Blacksad: Under the Skin

I'd definitely love to see a sequel or a game inspired by this one. Even though I liked the game, I'm still giving it a negative review because of a few things. First off, the biggest issue is that it feels like a straight console port, and its stiff, hopeless controls totally ruin the gameplay. While playing, you can collect trading cards, which makes absolutely no sense. But even if you want to get them, the bad controls mean you can't even pick some of them up or even see them properly. It also definitely has way too few language options. The choices were a huge letdown. A lot of them just boil down to whether you die or not. The part where you had to look for clues in Blacksad's memories at the hotel was by far the worst moment in the whole game. It really pushed me to just quit... but somehow I pushed through it. Despite these flaws, the game is genuinely interesting. If they fixed a few things and polished it up, it would be a truly epic game. On the bright side, the story holds together nicely, it's super engaging, and the whole concept is really good. The characters are interesting and diverse. The game balances real history and fiction perfectly. The character designs and the whole universe hit the nail on the head. The perfectly fitting music and the time period the story takes place in definitely deserve a shoutout, too. The soundtrack is for sure one of the best things about this game, and the whole thing just gives off a really great, matching vibe. You also gotta respect something that isn't so obvious – even though it's a game with colorful graphics and furries, it sticks to its own gritty tone. It's a game about conspiracies and the mafia, and it's not afraid to show murders. It never feels like anything was watered down or made family-friendly. So, a huge thumbs up for not unnecessarily sugarcoating the game. For this type of game, it's pretty long. It lets you make moral choices and have some consequences for your actions, even if your decisions don't actually change the main plot that much. The trailer for this game is great! But it doesn't capture the dynamics of this game; in reality, it's much slower. Ps. Am I the only one who thinks it's no coincidence that Blacksad looks like Batman? xD

One of the most unique and fun choice-driven games I have ever played, overshadowed by some of the worst optimization issues I have encountered. Genuinely, what went wrong? You can tell this game was made with a lot of love and passion, but when it came to optimization, it all went out the window. Did my choices always matter? Perhaps not. But the story was fun and engaging enough for me to forgive that, along with the optimization issues. I wish there was a sequel. I would buy it in a heartbeat because I loved gathering clues throughout the game and piecing everything together at the end. Overall, I recommend picking it up on sale if you can look past the optimization problems.

It's an enjoyable detective, narrative-driven adventure game. It has that good, calm aura around it. Well, at least for the most part, since some scenes can be quite brutal. The soundtrack of classic jazz and blues gave this game a compelling atmoshpere throught the whole game. I liked the story overall. There are enough different characters and all of them are memorable. Voice acting is really good. I liked the art style too. It's just funny that the main character had an uncanny resemblance of Batman in some scenes, haha. Your choices do matter here. Some scenes require you to choose from different options and very quickly, and if you choose incorrectly - some characters may die. But the problem with that is that many quick time events are kinda bugged. The game gives you so little time and at the same time requires you to button mash your controller's button with insane speed. Your fingers will hurt. Or you can just die repeatedly over and over again. There are quite a few bugs. One was very late in the game where you have to control the forklift. The game itself shows how to control it, but the buttons for "go backwards" doesn't work. I tried with a controller, tried with a keyboard. You can only go forwards and to the sides, and since you can't move the camera around - you are left with driving blindly. I needed several reloads to get to the right spot without getting stuck before getting there. For a second I thought this was my game-over moment. Anyway. Long loading screens, slow animations, slow walking, repeating unskippable scenes on retries... everything is a bit too slow in this game. All of this creates a lot unnecessary tedium and jankiness with it.

самый лучший дэтэктив в который я играл

Хороший интерактивный фильм про антропоморфных фурри, которые являются по факту животными, но в диалогах часто говорят о других как о человеке. Насчет геймплея есть вопросы, да, он не идеален, но он не бесит. Проблемы уже обозначены - лицевые анимации, не самая лучшая расстановка точек сохранения. Также, у игры кривая оптимизация. Но, несмотря на все вышеперечисленное, я наслаждался простотой нарратива и саксофоном - звук здесь достаточно хорош. Отдельно хочу отметить озвучку. Она есть - и это прекрасно, довольно хороша, голоса Вы уже слышали, они знакомы. Но, у игры пару раз слетает VPN и пара фраз воспроизводится на английском. Зачёт, ни капли не пожалел 👍

круто, но я не могу перевернуть лося и пройти игру, обидно чутчут
