About
Blacksad: Under the Skin is a 2019 adventure game based on the noir comic series, featuring detective John Blacksad investigating a murder at a boxing club in New York City's underworld. The game uses an interactive point-and-click system similar to classic adventures like Grim Fandango, emphasizing story and dialogue choices over action-heavy gameplay. It's a character-driven noir experience that appeals to fans of detective narratives and atmospheric storytelling.
The game is highly accessible from a performance standpoint, requiring just 8 GB of RAM and an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 3204. You can expect solid FPS performance on modest hardware, making it easy to run well even on older systems. If you're benchmarking or simply want smooth gameplay at high graphics settings, any mid-range GPU from the last several generations will handle this title comfortably without performance concerns.
With a rating of 76/100, Blacksad: Under the Skin delivers a well-crafted noir detective story for adventure game fans. If you enjoy narrative-driven experiences with strong atmosphere and detective work over action gameplay, this is worth playing.
Performance profile
November 2019 release. Blacksad: Under the Skin was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
Blacksad: Under the Skin is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Blacksad: Under the Skin; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
Storyline
In 1950s New York, Joe Dunn, the owner of a humble boxing club is found hanged. At the same time, Robert Yale, his protege and greatest hope, is reported missing. Although overwhelmed by these terrible events, Joe Dunn’s daughter, Sonia, decides to continue working towards her father’s dreams: she takes over the boxing club and calls on John Blacksad to investigate this mysterious disappearance. It’s the eve of the fight of the year and the club, which is in serious financial difficulties, will not survive Robert’s withdrawal. The investigation will lead John Blacksad to the very heart of a world in which corruption reigns supreme.
