New Game Network: 41 / 100

MindsEye has high ambitions and a stylish setting, but the game suffers from dated mechanics, poor AI, and a non-reactive world. Despite its strong visuals, it's unfinished at nearly every level.

Full Review

The Beta Network: 4 / 10 by Anthony Culinas

MindsEye fails with buggy missions, disastrous frame rates and some of the worst AI we’ve seen in modern gaming. You’ll find the odd spark here and there that’s enjoyable, but you shouldn’t have to trudge through layers of cookie-cutter content to be entertained.

Full Review

TechStomper: 1 / 5 by Stuart Cullen

MindsEye is a bafflingly bad game made worse by asking fans to simultaneously fund and make their development hell opus, Everywhere.
