Gameplay & Development Background

MindsEye closely mirrors the gameplay DNA of Grand Theft Auto, which isn’t surprising considering Leslie Benzies produced several Rockstar classics including GTA V, Red Dead Redemption, and Max Payne 3. The game blends open-world driving, cinematic cutscenes, and third-person gunplay into a fast-paced narrative journey lasting around 15 hours.

Interestingly, the game is also backed by IO Interactive (the studio behind the Hitman franchise), adding more AAA polish to the development.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, MindsEye takes full advantage of modern hardware with support for DLSS 4 on PC. Expect visually striking environments and high system requirements.
