- Many former MindsEye developers have rated the Build A Rocket Boy studio 2.1 out of 5 on the online review site, Glassdoor.
- These ex-developers claim the studio is a terrible place, with toxic executives and a work environment infested with a crunch culture.
- The negative reviews also align with the many concerns raised regarding MindsEye in the recent previews.
Mindseye has been touted as the next big linear cinematic blockbuster in the gaming scene, inspired by GTA. However, recent developments have suggested that the project by ex-Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies is far from enjoyable.
Unfortunately, these grim details align perfectly with how Build A Rocket Boy is portrayed on popular review sites. It is currently only rated 2.1 out of 5 on Glassdoor, where many former employees anonymously called out the studio for being a horrible workplace.
Why it matters: The abysmally negative rating and former developers’ remarks suggest that MindsEye by Build A Rocket Boy studio was headed towards failure from the beginning.
Several former MindsEye developers have criticised the executives for promoting the studio’s toxic and crunch-based culture. Political dramas and internal conflicts are also allegedly daily occurrences in the company.
MindsEye was negatively reviewed by various media outlets, with concerns about a lack of content and other gameplay mechanics further killing the hype. The studio’s lack of marketing and transparency has also raised many eyebrows in the industry.
Therefore, all these developments suggest that MindsEye is setting itself up for failure, and Build A Rocket Boy could also collapse soon.
If Build A Rocket Boy does not delay MindsEye, it will be released on 10 June 2025 for PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Do you think the reviews of former Mindseye developers paint a big enough picture to conclude that Build A Rocket Boy is a troubling studio to work at? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
