So, I just finished this game with my gf. Holy moley, it was good.

Blacksad UtS can best be described as a diamond in the rough. The story is a typical noire hairboiled detective one, with shady characters, plot twists and more. I read a lot of Raymond Chandler, and this story could fit right in that alley. My gf and I had multiple moments were we discussed and speculated clues, sometimes guessing right, sometimes guessing wrong. Also, the antropomorphic nature of Blacksad also adds a nice twist, with smart use of certain animal stereotypes.

Pendulo studios also did a great job giving you the options to respond in many different ways to each scenario. You can shape your own 'detective Blacksad', either compasionate and good-willing, to a more somber and nihilistic one through dialogue options.

However, the game is a slow burn. The pace is very slow, with a lot of cutscenes and dialogue. It fits the hardboiled detective genre really well, it allowed me to speculate and think about clues I found or dialogue I just watched and relate them to the case before the game even suggested it through its novel clue system. But gamers with a low attention span, be warned. This game is slow.

I also encounter a few minor bugs. Sometimes the speech de-synced with the animations, and two times the game crashed when we failed a scene. Luckily this game has a really good auto-save system, as you can return to any scene you previously completed to re-try something, so it was not that big of a deal.

Overall, I highly recommend this game if you love noire / hardboiled detectives. I really enjoyed it and the story was insanely good. I hope that we will see a sequel!

Ik heb net Season 1 uitgespeeld en ik kan niet wachten op Season 2! Vandaar dat ik nu even lekker een reviewtje neer pleur zodat jij het spel hopelijk ook koopt! Dan is de kans groter dat wij beide het einde meemaken ;)

Hoewel D4's gameplay niet echt speciaal is (het zijn met name QTE's) is het whacky murder-mystery verhaal fantastisch. Goede sfeer, toffe characters (ik ga niks spoilen), spot-on Twin Peak's niveau humor en een goede soundtrack. Perfect voor twee of drie avondjes lekker onspannen met een leip verhaal!
