Lots of bugs and poor AI. MindsEye playtesters ask to delay release

MindsEye, a game from former Rockstar developers expected next month, is receiving negative feedback from early playtesters.

Previews reveal an unpolished and buggy product that looks more like an alpha version. Most playtest participants recommend delaying the release until the issues are resolved.

The main complaints about the game are numerous bugs and weak enemy artificial intelligence. Shooting, a key gameplay element, isn’t enjoyable due to stupid enemy behavior. Despite the advertised linearity, the game tries to feature a pseudo-open world where driving plays an important role. However, car handling feels stiff and clunky, which ruins the chases.

The lack of a large-scale marketing campaign only worsens the situation. Most players would not have even heard of MindsEye were it not for the name of the former Rockstar president associated with the project. This reduces the game’s chances of success and increases the risk of failure, given the high expectations.

Bottom line: the game requires additional polish and a release delay (June 10, 2025); otherwise, it faces failure at launch
