MindsEye Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
MindsEye is a title with a lot of promise that stutters a bit when trying to deliver, but there is a fun game here if you’re willing to get past the initial slowness.
MindsEye’s flashy graphics and cinematics can’t hide its serious lack of substance and major performance problems.
With a mediocre story and lackluster gameplay that wastes the potential of its sci-fi premise of big tech and AI, MindsEye is a resoundingly disappointing action-adventure that's neither satisfying as an old genre throwback nor presents a confident foundation for others to build upon.
Our motto at WayTooManyGames is that we “review the good, the bad, and the so bad it’s good”. At times, playing a truly terrible game feels borderline entertaining, as you’ve noticed in the past with our reviews of Fast & Furious Crossroads and The Quiet Man. They are even worthy of a (massively heavily discounted) ironic playthrough, if you ask me. But there are some games that aren’t just bad, but aren’t so bad they’re good, either.

For those hoping several patches could make MindsEye into a possibly well-executed game, there’s no salvaging the mess left behind in Redrock.
MindsEye is a stringent and relentlessly dull video game, wasting its impressive world on formulaic mission design that's both archaic and uninspired.
MindsEye is a disaster in every sense of the word, and is going to do little more than become a guide in everything you should avoid in game design.
MindsEye promises a mind-bending sci-fi thriller, but delivers little more than a broken, bloated slog stuck in the past.
One of the worst video games of the modern era, that clearly isn’t finished – but just as clearly wouldn’t be worth even a moment of your time if it was.
Although it shows some early promise, MindsEye is sunk by a ridiculous story, inconsistent writing, poorly designed mission scenarios, and utterly atrocious combat.

MindsEye is as beautiful as it is broken, vacillating between promise and problematic. With design choices rooted in the distant past and an infestation of bugs, it’s held back by an unforced error – releasing far too early.
