MindsEye

I want my time back

A €36euro Crash Course in Overhyped Disappointment Mindseye isn’t just disappointing—disappointment implies you had expectations to begin with. What we have here is a €60 masterclass in wrapping a hollow experience in cinematic lighting and misleading trailers. This isn't the spiritual successor to GTA by any stretch; it’s more like Cyberpunk’s third cousin who turned up drunk to a family reunion and started incoherently quoting Blade Runner. Rating: 2/10 +1 for driving physics +1 for voice acting - Everything else. The Good (Or What Isn't Completely Broken) Let’s be fair for a second: there are faint glimmers of effort buried beneath the wreckage. Driving Physics: Driving actually feels surprisingly good—no joke. Vehicles have weight, feel responsive, and are genuinely enjoyable to handle. Voice Acting & Lore: The story isn't terrible once you dig it out from under the broken animations and mid-sentence dialogue cutoffs. The characters have potential, the voice talent is solid, and there’s decent worldbuilding hidden in the cutscene chaos. Visual Sparks: The graphics can look gorgeous during those brief, fleeting moments when textures aren't flickering, objects aren't floa…

An interesting concept for a game, there's some fun to be had, but some areas miss the mark. Lack of any hand to hand combat, cover system is weak, gun play could be better. The map just seems lifeless, but the story is very interesting. The acting is decent, and Jacob is a really cool character.

The game is great no words especially the story and graphics are great

I'm disappointed to see the removal of "Free Roam". Now the game is a linear run of missions in a tightly controlled environment. There's no open world. GTAV will give you a free open world to roam and explore for the same price.

I would recommend if this is on sale as £5 or a free weekend. Easily completable in a weekend like I did. The story is what kept me wanting to play, I'm a sucker for wanting to know how something ends. That's not to say its massively interesting, some missions certainly make you question, why are we doing this? Or why are we back here again? The voice scripts were also fairly corny and there were multiple occasions of dead silence when clearly they had nothing to fill those voids with. There was also some awful emotions, or lack there of at various story moments. There's also no open world, for a game with a fairly big world..clearly a missed opportunity to prolong gameplay. Gameplay wise the driving isn't bad once you get the hang of it. The shooting actually felt pretty good, I did enjoy shooting and there was a nice selection of weapons. Ammo however was pretty sparse for most guns, always making me use the SMG most of the time. Auto aim was handy at not dragging the game on and wasn't too overpowered. Enemies did a decent damage especially in numbers, and especially robots. I died a fair amount of times in the game due to being bombarded and limited shelter. I must say I did s…
