Block-breaking aim was a recurring weak point, with reviewers noting that directional punches could be fiddly and accidentally destructive.

Pros: driving mechanics, protagonist appeal

Cons: platform-specific feature support, checkpoint system

#27 Mouse: P.I. For Hire

Gun handling is functional, but several players found the aim slightly loose or imprecise compared with tighter traditional shooters. That softer feel may be more noticeable with a controller.

Pros: lore depth, user interface design

Cons: AI behavior, aiming precision

Target selection is a major weak point. Reviewers describe lock-on jumping to the wrong opponent mid-combo, making attacks miss the enemy they intended to pressure.

Cons: aiming precision, stealth mechanics
