MindsEye

"MindsEye is a broken, boring mess of a game that has somehow been allowed out in the world. It has little glimmers of something semi-entertaining in there with its cutscenes and story, but it&s;s bogged down by a vapid large …"

"MindsEye is the worst kind of failure, a soporific one."

"Even as a 8-10 hour campaign, MindsEye feels longer than it needs to be."

"MindsEye intrigues with its cyber-noir atmospheres but stumbles on many, too many of its promises. Everywhere you look while walking through Redrock City, you see an ambitious action game that shoots for the stars but ends up crashing to the …"

"Mindseye is a game that falters on nearly every level. It’s story is an interesting enough concept, but it seems to be in such a rush to get to the finish line that any semblance of character development or emotional …"

"In its current state MindsEye certainly isn’t anything special, but if you are willing to take a risk on something that has a solid foundation, oodles of potential but might just end up leave you a little dissatisfied with the …"

"The reality of things here is that MindsEye was simply not ready to be released. It needed more time in the oven. In fact, I’d even go as far to say that if it had more time in the oven, …"

"Bubsy leaps back into the spotlight, but nostalgia isn’t enough to save these clunky, outdated adventures."

"MindsEye is a complete disappointment. Despite an engaging audio introduction, everything else collapses: archaic gameplay, pervasive bugs, a confusing story, and subpar performance. Sold at a premium price, this title feels like an unfinished project disguised as a finished product. …"

"MindsEye is a baffling, busted shooter that squanders a campy sci-fi premise."

"Mindseye sets up a big, cinematic experience with flashy cutscenes and a futuristic world, but it doesn’t come together. The action gets repetitive fast, the world feels empty, and technical issues are hard to ignore. There are moments that show …"

""Despite a strong story and generally impressive performances, MindsEye is marred by baffling design choices, missing quality of life features, and a slew of technical troubles.""

"I have no idea what happened for MindsEye to come out at such a pitiful state, but even if it worked as intended, it would have been, at best, a truly mediocre cover shooter with a subpar “what if big …"

"MindsEye carries an immense weight of expectations, particularly given the involvement of Leslie Benzies, one of the chief architects behind GTA’s monumental success. Yet, Build a Rocket Boy has ultimately failed to bear that burden. The problems extend well beyond …"

"MindsEye isn’t a “so bad it’s good” situation. It’s just bad in a mundane, uninteresting way."

"While not the worst, MindsEye is far from being a satisfactory game. Its technical glitches and performance issues (though not severe in my case) add to its list of flaws. Its saving grace, if any, is the impressive visuals. However, …"

"When its performance is stable and you’re explosively blasting your way through robots, MindsEye can masquerade as a serviceable action shooter for a few minutes at a time. Its near-future setting and driving feel also impress."

"MindsEye isn&s;t a total failure—it just feels like a half-finished product rushed to market under the weight of expectation and hype. If you&s;re curious, it&s;s best to wait for a deep sale or for Build a Rocket Boy to deliver …"

"Mindseye wants to be a cyberpunk thriller. It wants to challenge players with ideas about AI, control, and identity. But instead of exploring those themes with depth and care, it trades them for predictable set pieces, forgettable characters, and unremarkable …"

"While I’m not about to pretend that MindsEye is secretly a masterpiece, I think saying that it’s one of the worst games ever made is stretching it a little far. I know we’re in an age where everything has to …"

"For those hoping several patches could make MindsEye into a possibly well-executed game, there’s no salvaging the mess left behind in Redrock."

"MindsEye is still not a good game. It has received several fixes after the release and now it is at least playable. But the story, gameplay... Everything screams mediocrity. The driving is fun though!"

"MindsEye had huge ambitions and a bold vision. Instead, we received a game that lacked cohesion, polish, and suffered from scattered design and limited gameplay. Despite the visual brilliance of the cinematic scenes, they don&s;t conceal shaky technical performance and …"

"MindsEye is an excellent example of style over substance, a game that falls apart the moment you start playing."

"MindsEye is a stringent and relentlessly dull video game, wasting its impressive world on formulaic mission design that&s;s both archaic and uninspired."

"Although it shows some early promise, MindsEye is sunk by a ridiculous story, inconsistent writing, poorly designed mission scenarios, and utterly atrocious combat."

"MindsEye is definitely an enjoyable adventure if you know what to expect. No, this isn’t a deep open world with a million options and intricate gameplay. It’s a simple shooter set in a cool environment that starts to feel a …"

"MindsEye promises a mind-bending sci-fi thriller, but delivers little more than a broken, bloated slog stuck in the past."

"MindsEye is a disaster in every sense of the word, and is going to do little more than become a guide in everything you should avoid in game design."

"MindsEye does not seek to compete with the giants of futuristic RPGs or reinvent cyberpunk, but it finds its place thanks to straightforward gameplay, a well-written story, and a fair length."

"Outside of a very few semi-positive points I think MindsEye just fucking sucks. It&s;s buggy, it&s;s boring, the story is bad, the gameplay is bad, and it runs like garbage. Don&s;t play it. Don&s;t support a studio that is now …"

"MindsEye is a bafflingly bad game made worse by asking fans to simultaneously fund and make their development hell opus, Everywhere."

"As it stands, MindsEye is a cautionary tale with star power behind the scenes that cannot carry a game that lacks polish, balance, or soul. For a game trying to explore the intersection of consciousness and technology, it&s;s ironic that …"
