Previews Slam MindsEye as Buggy, Co-CEO Alleges Paid Campaign to Trash Game

Build a Rocket Boy blames bot farms for recent negative previews, alleging undisclosed financiers are sowing criticism ahead of the June 10 launch.

Overview

  • MindsEye, developed by Build a Rocket Boy and directed by ex-GTA producer Leslie Benzies, launches June 10 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC with a $59.99 standard edition and a Deluxe Edition that includes a Premium Pass.
  • Early hands-off previews have described the game as buggy, with stiff driving mechanics and shallow combat lacking polish.
  • Build a Rocket Boy has outlined a post-launch roadmap of monthly updates delivering new missions, community tools this summer, a multiplayer mode in fall and expanded free-roam content in winter.
  • Co-CEO Mark Gerhard claimed on the official Discord that a “concerted effort” by bot farms and undisclosed financiers is fueling the wave of negative reactions to MindsEye.
  • The title combines a narrative-driven open-world campaign set in Redrock City with a PC-exclusive Game Creation System that lets players craft custom missions and scenarios.
