It seems like a nice enough place but as usual there&#8217;s trouble bubbling beneath the surface: An &#8220;eccentric tech genius&#8221; named Marco Silva wants to &#8220;change the course of human evolution,&#8221; but his pursuit of that lofty goal appears to be running up against the agenda of Redrock City mayor Shiva Vega, &#8220;whose blind ambition is to make Redrock the safest city in the world&#8221;\u2014sure, that sounds fine\u2014&#8221;and to gain even greater control of its citizens&#8221;\u2014okay, no, that doesn&#8217;t sound very good at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The volatile relationship between Silva and Vega\u2014Big Tech and Government\u2014is poised to impact the future of Redrock and its inhabitants, but mostly Jacob Diaz, MindsEye\u2019s protagonist, as he searches for answers about his troubled past,&#8221; Build a Rocket Boy said in the announcement. You may recall that we met Diaz in a February <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/former-gta-producers-gta-like-shooter-will-come-out-before-gta-6\/\">gameplay trailer<\/a> featuring guns, cars, overbearing music, and high-tech <em>stuff<\/em>: Diaz himself looks like a suitably rugged man of few words who typically heads up this sort of &#8220;solve problems by shooting guys&#8221; enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>The new trailer eschews gameplay for drama, and channels some heavy GTA: The plane lands, the music beats, the newcomer marvels while the local brushes it all off as just another day in paradise; nice houses, sexy cars, <em>mayhem in the streets<\/em> while the power brokers do what they do amidst escalating tension and unrest. All that&#8217;s missing is a guy yelling at the top of his lungs as he makes a last-second escape from a huge explosion and\u2014oh, wait. There it is.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;m making too many assumptions based on Benzies&#8217; long history as a mainstay on the Grand Theft Auto series, going back all the way to GTA3, until his unfortunate <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/former-rockstar-boss-leslie-benzies-sues-rockstar-for-150-million\/\">split with Rockstar<\/a> in 2016. (That lawsuit was <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/iapps.courts.state.ny.us\/nyscef\/ViewDocument?docIndex=idJ7VgKR6m8lEPirJiLa\/g==\" target=\"_blank\">settled<\/a> in 2019, by the way.)<\/p>\n<p>But to my eye it sure does look like a Rockstar game\u2014which I know isn&#8217;t the worst criticism ever, but I can&#8217;t help thinking that if Benzies broke away from Rockstar to do his own thing, it&#8217;d be cool if his own thing wasn&#8217;t so, well, <em>Rockstar<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It may be that the similarities are largely superficial: Benzies described Mindseye as a &#8220;tightly crafted game&#8221; in the announcement, &#8220;with a thought-provoking story where technology and ambition collide, and the inevitable consequences unravel.&#8221; GTA games are great, but &#8220;tight&#8221; and &#8220;thought-provoking&#8221; are not terms I&#8217;d use to describe them. Max Payne 3, maybe: Diaz is no Max but I&#8217;d definitely be more interested in that sort of directed, cinematic narrative experience than going bowling with my cousin 34 times in a row.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"k956NCPEPvrEvm6MLh55x4\" name=\"deluxe_upgrade_pre-order_esrb_en\" alt=\"MindsEye preorder bonuses\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/the-new-game-from-former-grand-theft-auto-producer-leslie-benzies-is-coming-in-june-and-boy-it-sure-looks-like-a-rockstar-game.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Build a Rocket Boy)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In any event, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3265250\/MindsEye\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mindseye<\/a> is available for pre-purchase now on Steam, and will set you back $60\/\u00a355\/\u20ac60.
