Mind's Eye Review: Style vs Substance in Build a Rocket Boy's Game

Mind's Eye, the brainchild of Build a Rocket Boy and directed by Leslie Benzies, promised a lot but delivered little. Like a flashy sports car that turns out to be all show and no go, this game falls short of expectations set by its impressive visuals and intriguing storyline. While the cutscenes are undeniably jaw-dropping, the gameplay itself feels as weightless as a feather in the wind. Combat lacks impact and strategy, leaving players with a sense of emptiness akin to driving a sports car with a lawnmower engine.
The open world of Mind's Eye, despite its stunning graphics and attention to detail, feels as lifeless as a deserted highway. With limited meaningful interactions and a lack of depth, exploring the world becomes a visually pleasing yet ultimately hollow experience. The story, following protagonist Jacob Diaz on a quest to uncover the truth behind a mysterious implant, offers some intrigue but fails to reach groundbreaking levels. It's like driving a supercar on a racetrack only to realize it's running on fumes.
Despite the potential in user-generated content and creation tools, Mind's Eye struggles to engage and maintain an active player community. Performance-wise, the game runs smoothly on high settings but stumbles during intense sequences, much like a high-performance car hitting a speed bump. Overall, Mind's Eye prioritizes style over substance, leaving players yearning for a more fulfilling gaming experience. Whether this game can revamp itself like a classic car restoration remains to be seen, but for now, it's a bumpy ride on a road filled with unmet promises and missed opportunities.
