MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC this Thursday, April 16, 2026. The FPS, inspired by 1930s cartoons, has already undergone the rigorous process of press reviews.
As of this writing, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire has a Metacritic score of 80% on PC (36 reviews) and 75% on PS5 (9 reviews). The OpenCritic average stands at 83% with 38 reviews recorded. These results will continue to evolve over the coming hours.
Among the undeniable strengths of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, we must of course mention its highly successful art direction, its fast-paced gameplay, its very pleasant jazz soundtrack, and its more than decent length for the asking price.
Among the flaws, we find a lack of variety in the enemies, a somewhat lackluster story, and a rather abrupt ending that might leave players wanting more.
