MOUSE: P.I. For Hire

Wonderful game, nice visual, great plot, stunning sound - everything is great.

I'm leaving a negative review because the Third Wife boss fight in Phase 3 is completely broken. Her central shield becomes completely invulnerable/bugged, absorbing 5 dynamites and all cannonballs without taking damage or showing visual cracks across multiple attempts. Deleting checkpoints didn't fix it. Giving a negative score until this progression-blocking bug is officially patched.

Una hermosura de juego, de los obligatorias para jugar y terminar en la vida.

I must say I really enjoyed Mouse P.I. If you are looking for something different with a ♥♥♥♥ Tracy style of world and cartoon humor, try this game.

This is one of those games that make me wish Steam had a middle review option instead of forcing you to choose between Yes and No. The art and animation are unique and probably the strongest aspects of the game. The voice acting is also very good, even if the casting of Troy Baker feels a little predictable at this point. However, there are quite a few flaws as well. The FPS mechanics are mundane at best and downright bad in some parts. It is simply a bad idea to put the player in a small room with so many fast-closing enemies when the weapons require manual reloading. The splash-damage weapons that are supposed to help you get through such sections are effectively unusable because you risk hurting yourself in the poorly designed arenas. The developers deserve credit for making each boss fight unique, but a couple of them are so frustrating that they genuinely make you wonder whether they were properly playtested before shipping. Throughout the game, I often had the impression that the developer needed a more focused gameplay design lead who could prioritize and select ideas. For another example, there is an underwater section where you can see the protagonist's face reflected on the inside of the diving helmet. Sounds cool? It blocks your view, making it very annoying to navigate and fight. The game's atmosphere also feels caught between film noir and 1930s animation, and in the end, it is much closer to the latter. The tail-rotor flying sections feel out of place to me when the protagonist is "playing it Bogart." That said, I admit some people might enjoy this mixture. Overall, it is an OK game with some genuinely good moments, and I am choosing Positive. However, I cannot ignore its flaws.

Вполне годный тайтл за свои деньги, немного душнит в начале и в конце, но финальный босс огонь! Рекомендую!
