I’m surprised to tell you that Mouse: PI For Hire is the best shooter I’ve played in ages.
Not because I’m especially down on rubberhose animation, or rodents, or monochrome Unity engine environments, but because I hugely underestimated how well those disparate elements could be combined. This is a luxurious, maximalist game that commits equally hard to making you feel like a detective solving a case as it does making you feel like a gun-toting hero. It doesn’t depend on those striking visuals to hold your attention, but holds it instead with good old-fashioned craftsmanship. And Troy Baker’s voice.
