это отличная игра своего жанра, ждал я ее очень долго, стилистика и геймдизайн на высшем уровне, отсылки к классическим мультфильмам, в игре буквально хорошо сделано абсолютно все, одно удовольствие собирать предметы и чистить локи на 100%. Жду больше игр от разработчика!

Simple fps with great animations and a decent story. Most jokes and references landed for me. The detective aspect is simple aesthetic. Worth the money, and the ability to replay levels is a big bonus.

repetitive ass game

A game for everyone! One of the best this year!

With all the funding this thing must have required, this is DEFINITELY not an indie game. it's the gaming equivalent of an industry plant. Beyond the art style this game is mediocre at best, which is very disappointing as someone who had it on their wishlist since the concept was originally unveiled, and had a different title. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ millennial and gen z humor made me roll my eyes, especially the overdone meta jokes. The reddit-tier political satire was enraging at times, especially because the time period this is set in had a lot of material to work with in that department.

I avoid retro aesthetics and I was very sceptical about the black and white color palette but I’m glad I took the risk to buy the game, Mouse: PI For Hire is one of the best games I’ve played this year. It’s a very entertaining mix of Steamboat Willie, Philip Marlowe and Doom with an engaging story, great music, a lot of shooting and just the right amount of humour. The level of polish is unusually high for an indie game, I haven’t encountered any serious bugs, crashes or performance issues. I can absolutely recommend this game, it was a breath of fresh air after some recent “AAA” slop.
