- MindsEye previews are out, and they’re mostly negative.
- The game feels incomplete, unpolished, and filled with bugs.
- Many playtesters recommend a delay for the game since launching in such a state would be disastrous.
MindsEye, a third-person narrative-focused title by former Rockstar developers, will be released next month. Led by Rockstar’s ex-president, the title has many expectations to meet.
However, the team is finding it difficult to do so, as early previews aren’t exactly positive. Most playtesters have recommended that the game be delayed until these issues are resolved.
Why it matters: It’s not every day that a project by a major ex-GTA producer is released. Due to its comparisons with the GTA series, MindsEye is on track to fail if it has multiple faults.
On social media, Synth Potato has compiled various thoughts on MindsEye from previews.
Most have suggested that the game is filled with bugs and is a broken mess. Like every other game, MindsEye is probably getting a day one patch, but the number of bugs is too high to address in a single patch.
Moreover, the enemy AI is underwhelming and acts dumb. With shooting being the most significant part of the game, encounters having no actual depth would be the game’s biggest flaw.
While MindsEye is framed as a linear experience, its gameplay leans more toward a faux open-world design, with driving playing a central role. Despite playing a central role, the driving part feels unpolished and stiff, making chasing sequences unsatisfying.
One YouTuber has even called this one of the worst previews ever. In general, the game feels incomplete and is in the alpha stage, so it is not ready for a launch next month. As such, many are recommending a delay.
A lack of marketing isn’t helping either. There isn’t enough gameplay to convince people to buy the game, and most wouldn’t even know about this title if it weren’t for the ex-Rockstar employees attached to the project.
