MindsEye - WORST GAME of 2025?! - Angry Review

Quick Overview

MindsEye is unequivocally one of the worst games ever played by the Angry Joe Show, receiving a final verdict of 2 out of 10 due to its pervasive flaws across all aspects, making its $60-$80 price tag criminal.

Key Points: MindsEye received a final verdict of 2 out of 10, with the reviewer stating it "doesn't quite reach the mindjack levels, but for a modern game, it gets way too [] close." The game is plagued by "restrictive mission failure states," where "literally anything you do is wrong," leading to instant failure for actions like flying "too low, too high, too slow, too medium," or even breathing wrong. Combat is described as "horrible" with "broken AI" and bullets that "don't even go in the direction their gun is [] pointing," making gunplay look like "paintball guns." The game features "pointless padding" with excessively long, unnecessary drives and stairwells, often for trivial objectives like getting a Wi-Fi password, which the reviewer calls "purposeful padding" to justify the $60 price. Technical issues are rampant, including poor optimization that made the reviewer's PC feel like it would "explode," bad pop-in, characters not loading, and vehicles with "no weight" that "go flying at the slightest bump." The story, dialogue, and characters are universally panned, with dialogue described as "clearly written by an AI" and "gobbledegook nonsense," and a "complete [] cut off" ending with no resolution. The only accidental redeeming quality of the game is its "ridiculous ragdolling" physics, which occasionally provides unintentional humor.

Context: The review is from the "Angry Joe Show," known for its critical game analyses. The reviewer, Angry Joe, and his co-host OJ, evaluate "MindsEye," a game they consider a strong contender for one of the worst games of all time, even comparing its brain-melting effect to "Minejack." The review also includes a promotional segment for G-Fuel, a sponsor, highlighting a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
