Summary
Mindseyehas been in the news quite a lot recently, and not for the best of reasons. A few days before release, Build A Rocket Boy’s co-CEO Mark Gerhard claimed thatall the negative noise around the game following previews was coming from paid actors, which was a comment that went down about as well as you could expect.
Fast-forward to the game’s release earlier today, and it turns out the negative previews may have been negative for a reason.Mindseye is currently sitting at a Steam rating of Mostly Negative, and when you take a look on social media for clips of the game in action, you very quickly begin to see why.
Mindseye Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews And Called “Unplayable”
Mindseye’s technical issues were an immediate problem, as clips of bizarre bugs and the game’s horrible performance started spreading all over social media.A Twitter user called NikTekOfficialis just one of the people sharing their bizarre experiences, as they posted a short video of civilians randomly running through the air, horrible stuttering, and cars merging into each other and randomly jumping into the air.
Mindseye is also in the running for having the creepiest glitch of the year, as it looks as though civilians really don’t like it when you run them over slowly.Twitter users SlashLP89andViktorlindnshare videos of this bug, as they slowly hit NPCs who then proceed to quite literally fall apart and ragdoll into a horrible mess of tangled limbs, before then being told they failed their mission.
Unsurprisingly, all of these issues have those who were unfortunate enough to have bought the game claiming that it definitely needed a delay,and branding it a “complete technical disaster”. It’s also being compared to Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch, which was so bad that PlayStation had to remove the game from the storefront entirely until CD Projekt Red got the game into a working state.
On top of all this, Mindseye is also reportedly running very badly on PC and PS5, is plagued with constant crashes, and is locked to 30fps across all consoles. You can see more than a few people claiming they’ve already requested refunds, and Mindseye could quite possibly go down as one of the worst games of the year.
