MindsEye had huge ambitions and a bold vision. Instead, we received a game that lacked cohesion, polish, and suffered from scattered design and limited gameplay. Despite the visual brilliance of the cinematic scenes, they don't conceal shaky technical performance and a linear style that lacks content. Ultimately, MindsEye is an incomplete experimental experience that may appeal to some fans of interactive storytelling, but will leave most disappointed.
