My first play-through of Blacksad took me just under 9 hours.
Blacksad is a playable noir-style crime story set in an anthropomorphic New York City just after WWII. It plays similarly to the Telltale games where you choose how you interact with the character to "choose your own adventure." In addition to that, you are tasked with piecing together the clues you collect along the way to solve the crime. Be aware that themes in the story line may be triggering for some -- like those of suicide and racism.
Pros:
+ Beautiful art style with a rich color palette and unique character design.
+ Great story with plenty of twists to keep things interesting.
+ Highly replayable due to the fact that your choices determine outcomes and consequences.
+ Hall of Fame collectibles hidden throughout the game (do not affect story, but fun to hunt for).
Cons:
- Pacing is a bit slow and there's no way to speed up the dialogue or skip a cinematic you've already seen.
- Voice acting (at least for the English version) is pretty week for most characters (but not all).
- Controls are a bit slow and there's no option to run.
Overall, I think Blacksad is well worth your time and I would definitely play again.
