The game

Join private investigator Jack Pepper on a guns blazing, jazz-fueled adventure in MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. MOUSE combines the charm of hand-drawn rubber hose animation inspired by the classic cartoons of the 1930’s with the adrenaline and action of an explosive first person shooter.

The Real Review

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a solid shooter that nails its unique 1930s cartoon aesthetic, with its hand-drawn rubber hose animation and jazzy vibe winning near-universal praise. People love the core gameplay and the charming lead detective Jack Pepper, but the difficulty is punishingly high for some. Performance on consoles, especially the Switch 2, comes up as a common sore spot with noticeable technical issues, which seems to be souring opinions on the platforms themselves. It’s a fun, stylish blast that’s worth a look, just be ready for a challenge and maybe some jank.
