Review MindsEye (PS5) - GTA Producer's Latest Is a Futuristic Faceplant

News The MindsEye Situation Only Gets Uglier as Devs Accuse Management of Mistreatment
MindsEye of the storm
MindsEye has been an unmitigated disaster for developer Build A Rocket Boy, and somehow, the whole situation just got even worse.

Not what IO Interactive hoped for
You know Build a Rocket Boy as the developer behind MindsEye, but the colossal PS5 flop might never have made it to market without its publishing partner, Hitman and 007 First Light team IO Interactive. MindsEye was the first game published by the studio that it did not make itself, and it's done so badly that IO...

News MindsEye Is Comfortably the Worst Reviewed PS5 Game of 2025
Build a rocket bomb
Poor ol’ MindsEye, eh? It’s so bad Sony’s been issuing refunds on the PS Store, an option it reserves for the most torrid of titles, like Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 at launch. And with a Metacritic rating of just 38, it’s now officially the worst reviewed PS5 game of the year. In fact, th
