MindsEye developers Build A Rocket Boy deny using bots to promote their game about bots going bad - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mindseye-developers-build-a-rocket-boy-deny-using-bots-to-promote-their-game-about-bots-going-bad #BuildARocketBoy #ActionAdventure #XboxSeriesX/S #IOInteractive #SinglePlayer #Thirdperson #MindsEye #PS5 #PC
#MindsEye it's bad, but we have seen redemption arcs like #NoMansSky and #Cyberpunk2077.
Can #BuildARocketBoy fix the game, or will be forever bad?
MindsEye's first hotfix plugs up its memory leak, and pledges to pop up PC hardware-related crash warnings - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mindseyes-first-hotfix-plugs-up-its-memory-leak-and-pledges-to-pop-up-pc-hardware-related-crash-warnings #BuildARocketBoy #ActionAdventure #XboxSeriesX/S #IOInteractive #SinglePlayer #Thirdperson #MindsEye #PS5 #PC
And the whole thing can be resumed into #LeslieBenzies trying to eat more than he could chew.
I can almost see #JasonSchreier exposé on Bloomberg about #BuildARocketBoy studio trying to pull out #MindsEye: crunch, lack of clear vision, competing ideas, development restart, high employee turnover, high expectations and tight deadlines.
Everyone saw it miles away.

#Mindseye is a 3/10 game. Not "bad", but very underwhelming and generic to be worth $60 dollars and mere hours of engagement. Not even a week of content farm.
Not ruling out a redemption arc, but even if there is one in the works, is going to be a lengthy one.
Mindseye launches to clips of ATVs glitchily spaghettifying a bloke named Seb, but a patch is on the way - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mindseye-launches-to-clips-of-atvs-glitchily-spaghettifying-a-bloke-named-seb-but-a-patch-is-on-the-way #BuildARocketBoy #ActionAdventure #IOInteractive #XboxSeriesX/S #SinglePlayer #Thirdperson #MindsEye #PS5 #PC
My prediction about #MindsEye, given all the previews:
- Great graphics and good cinematics
- Dull gameplay
- Short, mediocre story
- High push for the multiplayer
2 hours until the game is out. It seems to be a 6~7/10 game, but I don't have a crystal ball.
Top lawyer and finance guy are out!
What's going on over there?

A week before launch, two MindsEye studio executives have left the company, which I'm sure is a positive sign - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-week-before-launch-two-mindseye-studio-executives-have-left-the-company-which-im-sure-is-a-positive-sign #BuildARocketBoy #ActionAdventure #IOInteractive #XboxSeriesX/S #SinglePlayer #Thirdperson #MindsEye #PS5 #PC
The more I hear about #MindsEye, the more I get convinced is just a façade for a Fortnite-style game.
It looks like an MMO with a campaign. Once it releases it could be the best thing after sliced bread or the biggest disaster of the year.
Sorry MindsEye, even with your first actual gameplay trailer I still don't believe you're a real game - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/sorry-mindseye-even-with-your-first-actual-gameplay-trailer-i-still-dont-believe-youre-a-real-game #BuildARocketBoy #ActionAdventure #IOInteractive #XboxSeriesX/S #SinglePlayer #Thirdperson #MindsEye #PS5 #PC
