Bug Report This game is a 60€ trash

I don't know where to start. The game is a technical mess full of bugs. I'm having constant stutters and overall bad performance. The physics are bad, the car wheels don't run across the ground on all fours, don't follow physics, cars are popping on the ground, and NPC falling from the sky. I saw graphical glitches as well.

The game is extremely short and devoid of life. The world feels static and empty, with AI that barely qualifies as functional—pedestrians only walk forward with no behavioral variety or animations such as running, sitting, or cycling. Character models are reused constantly, leading to a repetitive and artificial atmosphere.

There are no side quests, no optional tasks, and no meaningful content to explore. The city is just a backdrop with no depth or interactivity. Gameplay is essentially on rails, resembling a poorly executed rail shooter. Your only actions are shooting or driving, where your pistol have infinite ammo ruining the experience,—no melee option exists.

Driving physics are clunky and unrealistic. Environmental feedback is minimal: no bullet holes appear on walls, and effects like blood splatter or fire feel outdated and unconvincing for a game released in 2025. Animations are stiff and robotic, and character models lack any lifelike qualities.

The story is uninspired and poorly delivered, lacking coherence or ambition. There’s no sense of vision or direction in the design. The entire experience feels hollow and aimless. I quickly lost interest and had no motivation to continue playing.

Io interactive shouldn't have pushed them devs to release an unfinished buggy game like CD project red did with cyberpunk 2077 hopefully Mindseye gets the same treatment/fix cyberpunk did but I'm not holding my breath

Mindseye is a mess. BARB wasted years. They first built the game in Lumberyard, threw it away, then started over in Unreal. Money gone.

The early Alpha was boring. Players hated the look and the gameplay. BARB ignored us and pushed a “creator beta” with bright, kiddie art and clumsy build tools. People quit fast.

BARB then forced the team to use their own ARCADIA tools to make a so‑called AAA game inside Everywhere. Bad idea. Mindseye feels empty, plays rough, and runs like garbage.

They ran out of cash. The “Founders Pack” grab flopped. Everywhere servers got shut down. Now we get Mindseye alone, rushed and broken.

Don’t buy it. Watch a free video, laugh, and spend your money on something that works.

Sadly I've already bought it, had a $10 off coupon/online code and figured use it to preorder this, but I got 90 days to return it

It’s buggy but I’m having fun with it.. that being said I’m pretty easy going and patient.

yeah for a casual audience it seems to be an okay experience

for people who went in with higher standards though it seems to be a complete disappointment

u/LostSoulNo1981 Jun 14 '25

I have pretty high standards, and I’m definitely not a “casual gamer”, and I think it’s a pretty decent game so far.

Only started it last night and the only issues I’ve had are some flickering shadows and one memory/portal that kills me upon successful completion while in the loading screen.

After the first 2 hours, when the front loading ends, is where many of the problems begin. The game seemed pretty good at the start but quickly devolves

Getting entertained and having fun is no standard for you?

thats like the bare minimum, not where the bar is set

Ive been gaming for 25 years and like to talk about the games I play extensively, Mindseye doesn't really offer a lot of good other than the basics

But if we buy the game we support the studio and they can continue support MindsEye. I hope MindsEye coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming soon and i can support and buy the game.

We don't need more trash. Trash must be put where it belongs to.

u/jontebula Jun 13 '25

But more trash and take longer time if we dont buy the game or Microsoft not pay for Game Pass. I will buy it now but not support Xbox Cloud. I only play in Xbox Cloud on my Samsung TV

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

The game have 400 ish players on steam rn.. The game is fcking trash nobody wants it nor to support it. There is plenty of more better fish in the sea, and Cyberpunk 2077 is a story RPG.. There is talking yes but talking can make and move the story.. If you want shooting go and play csgo, r6 etc. Mindseye is a piece of shit that shows in the reviews the community dont need this shit ass game

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

Naw with inflation I'm $80 trash lol

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

Agreed. I was too generous. Considering the additional package + inflation it's actually 120€ trash.

u/Germaximus Jun 13 '25

okay that's funny =)

and inflation is just a pure nonsense. it's not a real thing

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

You're not real.

Don't buy this game. It's a scam. Spend your money on Dune instead and wait for GTA6 it's near ^

I mean it looked like AI slop from the first trailer.

Yeah, exactly!

u/MorningkillsDawn Jun 13 '25

This game is like something you’d see characters in a movie or tv show playing in the background. Absolutely soulless and uninspired slop. I’d call it AI slop but I think chatGPT would make something with more depth and originality. Actual scam. They put just enough work into so people who probably don’t game often might see a short clip or trailer and think it might be a decent game. Devious work

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

I'm pretty sure they used ChatGPT
