The action-adventure game MindsEye, developed by Build a Rocket Boy, has faced significant backlash since its launch last month. The studio, led by former Rockstar producer Leslie Benzies, recently unveiled a roadmap aimed at addressing player complaints and improving the game's overall experience. However, this comes with the unfortunate news of an indefinite delay for the highly anticipated crossover mission with the iconic Hitman franchise.

Despite the hype surrounding its release—fueled by Benzies' involvement in the Grand Theft Auto series—MindsEye stumbled out of the gate. Players reported numerous technical issues, confusing gameplay mechanics, and a lack of engaging content. The fallout was severe, with over 100 employees laid off shortly after the game's disastrous debut.

In response to the criticism, Build a Rocket Boy has announced two major updates set to roll out in the coming months. Update 4, scheduled for August 2025, will introduce performance enhancements, skippable cutscenes, and instant access to player-created content on PC. Update 5, arriving in September, promises to refine core gameplay mechanics, though specific details remain under wraps.
