Worst rated game of the year… So far!
I know “worst” is an adjective that triggers a lot of content farms, but I still feel bad about these situations. Even the worst games, when they manage to be completed, are mountains of effort from the people involved; and as I understand it this was coming from one of IOI’s first publishing efforts.
Honestly it’s unfair, these clowns forgave CDPR for lying about CP2077 being complete. MindsEye devs didn’t even say anything.
I just looked it up. I’m not sure how I missed this one, but i guess im not missing much. Sad because the trailer looked OK and the team behind it should have at least made an average game. I guess I’ll read up on what makes it so bad now.
I’ve been playing it, I’m around 60% through the story, I wouldn’t say this is the worst game of 2025, not by a long shot, maybe people were just expecting it to be a GTA clone, when it’s more like a single player linear story.
The only issue I have with it is it is all very quick paced, you get a new job and like a day later you’re gunning down hundreds of goons.
After awhile you get access to a ‘build mode’ that allows you to build stuff using provided assets in the world, eg you wanna build a house on top of a skyscraper you can.
The build mode also includes logic nodes for doing gameplay scripting.
All in all I think people enjoy feeling apart of something, and apparently everyone has decided to hate on this game because of “reasons”?

It’s performance is atrocious, it clearly needed more months to get out of alpha stage.
Yeah I looked at what it was like on console and it isn’t great, though it runs pretty perfectly for my pc (4070).
It even runs on the steamdeck (on lowest settings) I played it for 3 hours in bed without any issues.
Though it is no way near in alpha. I feel like alot of people have not played it and are shitting on it just because everyone else is.
Digital foundry did a segment on it, certain issues will occur regardless of hardware. You might be lucky and not as sensitive to stutter and frame time fluctuations, but I refuse to believe you got the game running perfectly without showing a frame time graph to back it up.
I’ve seen someone playing games at a highly inconsistent 20fps without really noticing the issued, so please excuse my skepticism when you say you got it running perfectly. I’m glad you’re happy with it though.
When did they do this segment? There was a memory leak issue that caused some crashes and FPS drops on the first day for me, though I’m not sure that is the same problem as console because the game would run fine for about an hour then start to lose FPS until eventually crashing. It was patched the day after, since then I’ve had no issues.
Tbh I’m honestly not really bothered about the Mindseye side, but I’m pretty excited for the Everywhere side, never really cared much for single player shooters, I just hope the bad reviews doesn’t dissuade BARB from following through with enabling Everywhere’s full feature set within Mindseye.

I was in a rush but here’s a graph of me while flying around the city in a drone, so pretty high impact, I did idle a little bit though
Is this like an Balan Wonderworld bad? Where it’s polished but just an awful experience? Or is it just buggy and meh?
Balans are some of my favorite because there’s something fascinating about a well polished turd that you can’t look away from.
From what I’ve seen, it’s the latter. It’s a very mediocre GTA clone that’s full of bugs and is very forgettable in every way. The writing is also very bad.
Aww boo. Bad writing can still be fun.
