J'ai adoré jouer à ce jeu !! Les mécaniques sont un peu rigides mais ne m'ont pas dérangée. Ça m'a même rappelé l'ambiance des anciens jeux et m'a fait vivre une nostalgie qui m'avait manquée. Je vais me plonger à nouveau dans toutes mes BD Blacksad maintenant.
Engaging plot and likeable characters, had a lot of fun. A bit too linear tho.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Je recommande pour les gens qui cherchent un jeu avec une histoire sympa à faire en une fois, dans le style des jeux Telltale. La DA est chouette, la bande son est top, les doublages français et anglais aussi. Je ne le recommanderais pas par contre si vous êtes une personne rigoureuse sur le gameplay car les QTE sont buggés et il manque au jeu des options basiques de jeux narratifs pour la rejouabilité (sauvegardes multiples, bouton skip pour les dialogues déjà lus, bouton skip pour les crédits). Et je le recommande encore moins pour les amateurices de complétion, le système de randomisation des cartes à collectionner est horrible. Bref, un jeu avec des bugs mineurs et qui a des lacunes mais qui vaut quand même le détour pour son histoire et sa DA, il m'aura donné envie de m'intéresser à la BD.
I think the game IS for people who also love Blacksad comics and already love the characters of Blacksad, Weekly and Smirnov. That said, think game is for play once, and maybe repeat some characters to save some character, but besides that, becomes repetitive. Think game should had had more routes that incentivates you to replay.
very very great story but way too many bugs and extra bs i had to do just to play it normal honestly just watch a playthrough for it
good
[h3]SYMPA[/h3] Jeu très sympa, j'ai bien aimé dans l'ensemble. Par contre y'a des chutes de FPS entre certaines scènes qui sont assez gênantes, surtout pendant les QTE (même avec une très bonnes config).
я большой любитель жанра интерактивного кино, и блексэд очень хороший его представитель. я давно не получала такого удовольствия от игры. хочу выделить основные удачные моменты, которые сделали мои 11 часов прохождения настолько приятными, что не хотелось, чтоб история заканчивалась: атмосфера оправдывает ожидания, опираясь на комиксы. классика жанра нуара: америка 50х, детектив, коррупция, мафия, женщины, сигареты, дождь и прочее прочее... бесподобный сеттинг (от которого я по кд ссусь как огромный его любитель), с передачей которого из комиксов разработчики справились на ура. моментами меня флешбекало на пейзажи мафии. классные световые решения, прикольные ракурсы, классно обыграны флешбеки, окружение, МУЗЫКА!!! сюжет держал в интересе все прохождение. это тот случай, когда РЕАЛЬНО интересно, к чему все придет. сюжет построен грамотно по всем стандартам: где-то держит в напряжении, где-то смешит, где-то заставляет задуматься над выбором. детективная история отлично представлена как в геймплее (режим дедукции весьма весьма), так и в независимом от игрока нарративе. персонажи классно раскрыты, хочется им сопереживать, а джон как всегда невероятен. минусы: то что меня подбешивало на протяжении всей игры - камера. моментами она неудобная, хоть и кинематографичная. периодически чтобы дотянуться до активной точки мне нужно было искать нужный угол, а на геймпаде это не очень удобно. особенно это было заметно в эпизоде с фонариком, когда чтобы найти эту самую точку нужно светить КОНКРЕТНО в нее. катцены с QTE периодически пролагивали, что не мешало геймплею, но в моменте ломало погружение. то же самое с анимацией речи у героев, которая иногда пропадала. иногда казалось, что на графику не хватило бюджета в моменте. вот в катсцене герои выглядят привлекательно, а вот они уже в каком-то говняном освещении не очень, и это на максимальной графике. но меня позабавило, что моделька блексэда выглядит всегда сногсшибательно. но в основном я визуалом более чем довольна, атмосфера выдержана классно, эстетическое удовольствие получаешь чаще, чем нет. мой вердикт - игра КЛАСС, рекомендую, несмотря на минусы. дала вдохновение, дала стимул читать комикс
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
