MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Review — A Cartoon Noir Masterclass

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a stunning achievement in both art direction and game design. Its hand-drawn 1930s aesthetic is not merely cosmetic — it informs every aspect of the gameplay, from the cartoon-logic weapons to the impossible architecture of its meticulously crafted levels. Combined with sharp shooting mechanics, genuinely engaging detective sequences, and Troy Baker's charismatic lead performance, this is one of 2026's must-play shooters.
