wOne hat just happened to make a rocket boy Mindseye? That’s a complicated question. You may wonder how the ex leadsgrand theft auto This is what producers could do with their final project, still one of the most successful games of all time.
Since launching “mostly negative” user reviews on Steam, we have only reached “mixed” status (only 40% of the 1,336 reviews gave us thumbs), and due to the poor technical condition of the PS5, we can see refunds on the PlayStation store. Sponsored streamers faced many crashing issues. So, Build Rocket Boy took the obvious next step and cancelled the streams of other sponsors. Yes, even if it appears to be bad to do so in the last moment, it’s better than showing more people how bad the technical state is.

The development team said in the latest Reddit update that “it’s heartbreaking that not all players can’t experience the game the way they intended.” Currently, all platforms focus on “performance and stability optimization.” The first Hotfix will be released this week, followed by another week, with 3 updates by the end of this month. However, there is no denying that the studio’s reputation is being filmed effectively. Mindseye It’s a complete joke. And it’s really hard to feel too sympathetic.
No pre-release review copies were sent. Whether the studio knew how bad the bad was in advance (if you really want to give them the benefits of doubt), it still acted to prevent potential negative coverage before its release. This is hilarious in retrospect, but it even followed the stream to stop anyone who received the game early from doing so before it was released. Although some critical reviews are less than available, the user score on Metacritic (3.0 out of 255 ratings) says it all.
So when someone asks, “What did work?” Mindseye? “You don’t know how narrow it is?”
When the trailer for the first film fell, the cutscene fidelity looked really impressive. Of course, this came with the first “gameplay” trailer. This is a one-minute showcase for driving, filming, driving while filming, and my favorite filming. It seemed so bland, enthusiastic and boring, I really forgot it existed. And so was the development team. Because it was obviously the case as it didn’t have much less mission walkthroughs until late May, about two weeks before its release.
Again, even before sharing one shred of details, it hypes things. In October 2024, Studio Head Leslie Benzies called it a “Triple A Premium Game and an Evolving Universe” with “best in class cinemas, high octane driving, explosive combat.” At least he was right about every explosion in the battle.
After announcing the release date, the studio provided some memorable quotes. A driving camera that makes you feel “a meaningful, well-paced story that respects your time!” “You’re in a fast, intense movie, you’re on the edge of control!” Of course, many comments on the various lore trailers required proper gameplay, so at that point, the katsurada was building up quickly. This also happened after a short gameplay teaser from the developer.
Among all this, and in the release of the absurd PC requirements, CO-CEO Mark Gerhard said on Discord that there will be “cooperative efforts by some people” to “ditch the games and studios.” According to Gerhard, it was clearly easy to see in “repeated replies to the bot and the content we put out.” But there’s nothing about the actual valid criticism of the title and its marketing, but sadly enough.
Of course, there were other questions. What happened Anywherecreate the first title of Rocket Boy, announced in 2017? Recently announced Mindseye It includes the same Arcadia Creation Suite, which added confusion. An interview with the infamous Benzies then fell, where he talked about 20 hours it takes to be completed and how he can’t have “filler contents” because he “want meat and potatoes.”
Believe it or not, that’s the highest level part as he discusses the “comprehensive 10-year plan.” Mindseye And how is it currently in the process? Players will go back 10,000 years ago, “transferring a certain amount of time” and a year later join the open world multiplayer sequel set, joining the two together in a freerome title. Ah, and eventually reappears everywhere, and “becomes part of the same product” while fitting the story of “somewhere.” But that’s a spoiler, so the word Mama is a word.
About two days later, the company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Justice Officer set out. No reason was provided, but it caused even more concern as it happened within a week of a major release.
When you visit the official YouTube channel you will find a Dev Diary called “.Mindseye – Quality guaranteed with Leslie Benzies. “In it, he sits with other team members, plays in the company lounge, jokingly saying that optimization is gutter. I can’t wait.”
Even if this wasn’t a real person, the goal was to create a perception that the studio’s founders and presidents care very much about the game. That’s the level of dedication to quality from this studio.
A few days after its release, the Benzies have not yet issued a statement. Next is IO interactive. When he announced his role as a publisher, he committed to supporting localization, distribution, marketing, game support, and even QA. There are a lot of questions about Rocket Boy and its quality assurance build, but did Io Interactive know about the game’s state? Did it intentionally obfuscate it or did you look at the builds provided by Benzies and Co. and believe everything would be fine? How deeply involved in quality assurance? If that was important, how did the game come out in such a horrifying state?
We were able to endless theorize where things went wrong Mindseye. Its origins as a game everywhere. Studios are struggling with the development of content platforms that can compete with Fortnite (Even if you never use that exact comparison, the similarities are clear). The overall vision of Mindseyethis is an action-adventure game, but we hope that players will be satisfied with their own content over time. It’s a fun and functional video game with a focus on glamour and cutscenes. And my favorite 10-year plan. Because it worked very well in large companies where much more resources were available at their disposal.
Instead, I prefer to see it as a multifaceted lesson. Not all celebrities release quality games, regardless of their reputation. In particular, they don’t have the same infrastructure and award-winning development team behind them. Similarly, not all big names can carry out what is called vision even if they have talented developers. And no matter how good the cutscenes and graphics look, there’s no alternative to good gameplay.
