Legendary GTA 5 veteran's new open-world game is actually a "fake open world," but its central city sounds a lot like Cyberpunk 2077

Action-adventure thriller MindsEye is the next game from GTA 5 veteran Leslie Benzies, and its devs want playing it to feel like "bingeing your favorite Netflix show."

Developed by Build a Rocket Boy, MindsEye puts you into the shoes of former soldier Jacob Diaz, who's been fitted with a neural implant called – you guessed it – the MindsEye. Being set in a dystopian near-future fictional setting of Americana (specifically, the city of Redrock), described as "a world where AI, high-tech experimentation, and unchecked military power shape every encounter," the plot sounds super intriguing. What's more, looking at the gameplay shown off so far (which includes car chases and shootouts), it's not hard to see its game director's past works have had some significant influence, with Benzies serving as the producer of multiple GTA games including 3, 4, Vice City, and 5.
