Noir Shooters, Lunar Hackers, and Medieval Puzzles: A Four-Game Review Roundup

This roundup covers four distinct titles: Mouse: P.I. For Hire—an ambitious 1930s-noir FPS/platformer that blends slick rubber-hose animation with political subtexts and standout boss battles; Pragmata—a retro-leaning, single-player sci-fi actioner on PS5 that uses a dual-character hacking mechanic to drive combat and story; Skara Brae—a compact, tense board game about village-building with a strict turn limit and midden management; and 1348 Ex Voto—an Unreal Engine 5-era medieval adventure that aims for atmosphere but underdelivers on world-building and dialogue. Overall, strong design in places but uneven execution across the four titles."
