We've been quietly looking forward to Blacksad: Under the Skin since we got some hands on time with the detective thriller a few months ago, but just a week before its PlayStation 4 release, this latest slice of gameplay has given us pause.
25 minutes of footage gives us a great look at what to expect come 5th November, but we can't shake the feeling that it all looks a little bit rough. It's the audio more than anything else, but visual bugs crop up from time to time too. Characters seem to skip on voicing entire lines of dialogue, while the sound of footsteps don't seem natural to the cobbled streets they're walking across. An awkward visual glitch makes an appearance at the four-minute mark too.
We came away from our time with the game rather impressed, stating that "if the story can remain strong over the course of the campaign’s running time, then this could very well be a case worth solving." Let's just hope this is an early build.
Are you picking up Blacksad: Under the Skin next week? Start taking notes in the comments below.

It was a bit wonky when I played it earlier in the year, but I think you'll be able to overlook the issues and enjoy it for what it is.
I’m still hyped for this and can’t wait to play it next week
I thought this was delayed by two weeks? That's what amazon told me anyway
Who you calling a chump, chimp?
Character reminds me of Yoshi in Mario Bros movie, just a cat, ha ha.
The story seems like it would be much better than that terrible movie though. Hopefully the small problems are fixed before release.
I just realized it's from the same devs as Runaway games. I really liked those back in the day, this should be pretty decent story wise anyway.
@Eldritch who framed roger rabbit quote?
@Gmork___ Indeed. The character at the beginning reminded me of the bouncer in Roger Rabbit.
Yep totally. Man that was a great movie!
