Detective Blacksad gazed to the floor, looking at some footprints. Yet I can't see these footprints, at first I thought maybe I needed to enable some special panther vision, then I realised the game was having a meltdown. Sadly that was one of many issues that plagued my time with…read more >

It offers up a journey of Star Wars proportions, complete with huge ships, epic lightsaber battles and explored worlds.
