Channeling 1930s cartoon chaos, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire on PS5 is a first-person shooter with a noir detective wrapper and a bold black and white “rubber hose” look. It sits in the same conversation as stylised shooters that lean on strong art direction and punchy gunplay, rather than realism, so expect atmosphere and attitude to do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Who will enjoy MOUSE: P.I. For Hire?
If you like shooters that feel a bit different, this one’s aimed at you. The vintage animation style gives firefights a distinctive rhythm, with high contrast visuals that make enemies and effects pop. The private investigator framing suggests a more story-led structure than a pure arena blaster, so it should suit players who want a bit of character alongside the action.
- PS5 version, for console play with modern controller handling.
- PEGI 16, reflecting more intense violence and themes than a family-friendly cartoon vibe suggests.
