It may have been boring, or it may have just not been what I wanted to play that day. I wouldn't say anything was wrong with it; I just think those types of games just don't resonate with me as much as they once did.

While I won't say never, I may have purchased my last new mainstream video game console with the PS5. Outside of the insanely priced neo geo and 3do I've purchased or had purchased for me nearly every new console since the NES. during the tenure of those consoles, most have had dozens and often times hundreds of games purchased for them during their run. I can think of only two that's not been true for, the Virtual Boy and the PS5. The Virtual Boy only had about a dozen games (of which I had 4) and the PS5, I just haven't bought anything for. Never really wanted to. I spent so much money getting one for me and one for my son and neither of us have played much on it. It was exciting to be able actually get one near launch but that wore off. Same thing on the newest Xbox, I didn't buy much, I don't play much. I'm now content playing games on Steam, Epic, and gamepass on my pc. For now, anyway, with the way pc parts are going I may stop buying there too and just work off my back log for the remained of the years I have left.

I noticed this game on Steam the other day... and there also seem to be Nintendo Switch 2 and Playstation 5 versions.  Mouse: P.I. For Hire has an interesting look to it ... I watched a few of the gameplay videos.  It has that old school black and white vibe but 1st person shooter and some modern features to it.  The gameplay looks really smooth as well.

Information on the Game:
  • DEADLY INVESTIGATIONS: Meet Private Investigator Jack Pepper, a former war hero-turned-detective in a world where danger lurks even in the smallest mouse hole. Uncover the truth when a simple missing persons case quickly escalates into a complex web of intrigue, with corruption, kidnapping and murder all on the docket. Investigate the seedy underbelly of Mouseburg, battle heavily armed gangs and crooked cops, and discover clues to reveal the conspiracy buried underneath the surface.
  • LOCK, LOAD & LAUGH: From crackling machine guns to explosive firepower, each weapon in Pepper's arsenal is designed to deploy non-stop cartoon chaos. Arm yourself with an array of classic, creatively twisted and experimental firearms, and consume powerful upgrades when you need that extra spinach-loaded punch! Lethal encounters and manic boss battles await in this boomer shooter-inspired, retro-vibed adventure - and the denizens of Mouseburg never go down without a fight.
  • A CITY OF SECRETS: Explore a diverse city playground, from dark streets to classic film studios, opulent opera buildings, poisonous swamps and underground sewers. With a myriad of cases to solve and collectibles to find, Mouseburg is truly a detective's delight! Use every tool at your disposal to wall-run, grapple-hook and double-jump through this unrelenting cartoon world.

IT's Not too expensive at $30 for a physical copy.  Pre-order for July 10, 2026 release.

@retro junkie I think it's going to be on my list as well.  I haven't had a good beat-em-up for awhile and this looks like it fits the bill.

@targetrasp  --> Did you find it boring at all?  Or just not a repeatably re-playable game?  Just curious.  I thought the Achievement hunting could be fun as well

I made more progress in the 100% achievements of Brotato on Steam.  @targetrasp and I got caught up on a couple areas lately lol.  Wasn't sure if we were going to get past them... but we did.
