From the moment I saw the first trailers for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, I knew it was going to be a masterpiece, and the final game completely blew me away. It feels like stepping straight into a classic 1930s monochrome cartoon, but packed with the adrenaline of a relentless boomer shooter.Playing as the private investigator Jack Pepper in the corrupt city of Mouseburg is pure joy. The hand-drawn rubber hose animation is breathtakingly beautiful; every weapon reload and enemy reaction looks incredibly fluid and expressive. Blasting through hordes of gangster rats and shrews while a big band jazz soundtrack roars in the background creates an atmosphere unlike anything else in modern gaming. The mix of fast-paced FPS combat, wall-running, and solving noir mysteries makes every level unforgettable.It is a modern tribute to gaming history and vintage animation. I am desperate to see GOG bring MOUSE: P.I. For Hire to its platform so fans can own this masterpiece DRM-free.
