MindsEye from Former GTA Producer Receives Mixed Reviews on Steam

The adventure action game MindsEye, developed under the direction of Leslie Benzies—one of the key producers behind the Grand Theft Auto series—has just launched. Despite the high-profile name attached to the project, early Steam reviews have been mixed.

Currently, MindsEye holds a user rating of just 40% on Steam, reflecting a sharp sense of disappointment among players. According to gamers, the game suffers from major performance issues, poorly implemented car physics, underwhelming gunplay, and a limited set of gameplay mechanics.

At launch, the game peaked at around 3,300 concurrent players.

MindsEye’s story unfolds in the high-tech metropolis of Redrock. The main character, Jacob Diaz—a former special forces operative with a neural implant—is on a quest to recover his lost memories and unravel the mysteries of his past. Along the way, players will face a machine uprising, a war for control over artificial intelligence, and a clash with a billionaire intent on reshaping the world in his own image.

The developers aimed for a cinematic experience and intense combat sequences, but based on initial feedback, the execution appears to have fallen short of expectations.
