Let's face it, MindsEye had a cursed release cycle. Since MindsEye launched on June 10, fans have made it their mission to speak their mind on what they believe is wrong with it. With abysmal critical review scores and fans universally bashing the game for its performance and other issues, it's one of the rare games that has united gamers (over universal disdain).

Former GTA developer, Obbe Vermeij (who worked as a technical director at Rockstar North until 2009) has spoken out in support of MindsEye, saying that some aspects of gameplay are "top notch". This is a rare bit of praise for MindsEye, a game developed by another former GTA lead, Leslie Benzies.
Build A Rocket Boy's Leslie Benzies dives into his studio's upcoming experience.
