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
News Sony Approves MindsEye PS5 Refunds as Dev Issues 'Sincere Apology'
Eyestrain
It's not going great for MindsEye, the weirdly marketed third-person shooter that's just arrived on PS5. The game hit Sony's console just a couple of days ago on the 10th June, but as reported by TheGamer, the platform holder is already dishing out refunds to early buyers. As you may already know, PlayStation tends to be more...
Review MindsEye (PS5) - GTA Producer's Latest Is a Futuristic Faceplant
Red Rock Bottom
Until we actually got our hands on MindsEye, we weren't clear what kind of game it even is. Is it an open world title? Is it linear? How does the user-generated Everywhere project fit into it all? We’ll get into all of those, but the most important thing to know about MindsEye is that it’s a disjointed and tragic mess of a game...
Hands On MindsEye Is a Boring Mess
How did it come to this?
There's been a lot of mystery surrounding MindsEye, a third-person action adventure from new studio Build A Rocket Boy – even more so when review codes weren’t sent out early. However, we’ve now managed to wrack up a few hours with this latest PS5 release and... well, it isn’t great. MindsEye is a very weird game...
Site News Where's Our MindsEye PS5 Review?
Out of mind
MindsEye is out today on PS5, but we unfortunately don't have a review for you to read. And that's a shame for all of us, because we've been dying to actually see what MindsEye is all about. This is a game that's raised eyebrows ever since it was announced — a title that's looked odd basically every time we've been handed footage...

Play it "without bias", says studio
With its 10th June 2025 release date right around the corner, physical PS5 copies of MindsEye have started to appear, posted online by buyers.

News MindsEye CEO Says People Are Being Paid to 'Trash the Game' Online
In a "concerted effort" against the studio
Mark Gerhard, co-CEO at MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy, believes the underwhelming reaction to the imminent PS5 game is a result of a "concerted effort" to "trash the game" and the studio, where those with negative feedback are being paid by someone to share it. In a series of posts on the game's...
News MindsEye Really Does Look Like a Long-Lost PS3 Game
Overview trailer provides best look yet
When marketing the PS3 in the build-up to its release, Sony confirmed a shooter called Eight Days. It was never actually released, but the demo that revealed it has lived in our minds ever since. MindsEye, weirdly, feels like the PS5's spiritual successor to that London Studio effort, even though there's no...
News Action Shooter MindsEye Continues to Have the Weirdest Gameplay Marketing on PS5
Eyeballing it
We just don't know what to make of MindsEye — the PS5 action shooter from ex-Rockstar boss Leslie Benzies. As you'd probably expect, the game's official press releases have always made a big deal out of the aforementioned developer, who played a key role in shaping Grand Theft Auto as we know it. However, we've seen very little of...

All in the mind
MindsEye, the curious action shooter from ex-GTA veteran Leslie Benzies, has finally been handed an official look at gameplay. The problem, though, is that it's encased within a tiny 30-second trailer. This is a title that's been raising eyebrows for several months now. Due out for PS5 in just a few weeks, on the 10th June, we've...
News Leaked MindsEye PS5 Gameplay Has Fans Giving GTA Veteran's Latest the Side Eye
But maybe it'll be good
We suppose it’s a little unfortunate for MindsEye gameplay to leak just as Rockstar reveals GTA 6’s latest trailer. Led by GTA veteran Leslie Benzies, this faux-pen world game is similar in style to the old Mafia releases, offering a smaller-scale sandbox that largely serves as the backdrop for its narrative action. The...
News Don't Forget About the New Game from One of GTA's Most Important People
Pre-orders are available now
MindsEye is in a strange spot. The upcoming PS5 game is undoubtedly a big deal – it’s the new project from Leslie Benzies, a legendary producer whose credits include GTA 3 through GTA 5. But due out on 10th June, we’re not sure developer Build a Rocket has done an adequate job of explaining what this game...

Eye eye
Described as an 'action-adventure thriller', MindsEye is a newly announced PS5 title set in the relatively near future. It's coming to Sony's console this summer.
