MindsEye

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 is a stringent and relentlessly dull video game, wasting its impressive world on formulaic mission design that'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.

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

This expensive, oddball game from a former GTA producer commits the ultimate sin: It's boring

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 bogged down by a vapid large scale map that is at odds with its aggressively linear campaign, and padded out with a dull repetitive gameplay loop that is nothing short of archaic.

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

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

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!

Although MindsEye was considered a failure at launch, the game has now been revived through continuous updates. Of course, it's still walking a fine line, and some issues remain. However, given its engaging and entertaining story, these problems can be overlooked, and it's worth experiencing at least once. This game will certainly appeal to fans of the action-adventure genre.
