The 50s, New York City: Joe Dunn, owner of a boxing club, is found dead.

Blacksad - Under the Skin Ratings & Reviews

PC Gamer

68 / 100

Unaware of its absurdity, Blacksad: Under The Skin fails at much of what it attempts

Hardcore Gamer

2.5 / 5

While Blacksad: Under the Skin shows a lot of promise in its story, world and a couple of neat gameplay mechanics that help put you right in Blacksad's shoes, it unfortunately suffers when it comes to the execution.

7 / 10

Blacksad is a surprisingly charming interactive tale. John 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. The game suffers from cumbersome movement and a deduction system that's not that interesting to engage with, but, if you love a bit of noir, Blacksad: Under The Skin is well worth the 10-hour playthrough.
