Richard Bailey Jr. of The Koalition writes: Mouse: P.I. for Hire is a game I’ve been watching since it was originally revealed in 2023. After studying 2D hand-drawn animation in college, I respect this medium and understand the time commitment required to master it. This is exactly why this ambitious title piqued my interest.
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a visual knockout, pairing a stunning "rubber hose" animation aesthetic with a frantic, Doom-inspired kineticism.
The Outerhaven writes: Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a 1930s-inspired shooter that delivers tight gunplay, rubber-hose animation, and noir storytelling.
Gamespot : Mouse: P.I. For Hire's cartoon world, hand-drawn to recreate the rubber hose aesthetic of classic cartoons, is the star of the show, but its absurd combat is none too shabby either.
