Great game! If you enjoyed the game L.A. Noire or the TV show BoJack Horseman, there's a good chance you'll like this game as well. If you encounter a black screen while launching it on a Steam Deck, try running it once in desktop mode. After that, it should work fine when launched in gaming mode.

Good enough to keep me playing to an end, but not good enough for a replay to reach a different end. It's an adventure about a private investigator and you can move freely in small areas. There is no "adult only" content". The game was made with the Unity engine and is optimized for a controller. You can't create your own save files.

This game is indeed pretty Black and pretty Sad. I mean, the story is noire, and is everything you would expect from a movie of this genre. It's not great, but it's ok, and there are a few memorable characters. The story and the setting are the only things I am recommending Blacksad for, as this is the weakest game by Pendulo Studios. The gameplay is really sad. This is essentially a walking sim with really clunky controls and occasional QTEs which are horrible: while you have enough time to press (or mash) a button, just one mistake leads to a game over, and given the fact that checkpoints are not that often and you can't skip dialogues, this makes all the QTE scenes even more obnoxious. This and inability to skip cutscenes also leads to not wanting to play through the game another time, which is also sad since there are decisions that seem to impact the story. And it would also be a nice excuse to gather all the collectible cards in the game. But alas, clunky gameplay paired with unskippable cutscences and dialogues make subsequente walkthroughs absolutely unfun.

May 2024

Throughout the story, the main mystery for me was not the murder of the coach, but the moral question: is this a game about furries or not? And from there, another one follows: is it okay to have a boner for the poster girl tennis player? This seems like a case for Detective Pussycat.

Alcoholic in a world full of animals, very relatable except I'm not in a world full of animals
