MindsEye, the worst-reviewed game of 2025 and one of the worst games of all time, failed because its studio, Build a Rocket Boy (BARB), was beset by "internal and external saboteurs," a new report claims. BARB's chief executive also wishes to relaunch the game and go on a "redemption arc."
According to a July 3 report by IGN, who spoke with developers at BARB, Leslie Benzies, the studio's head and the former president of Rockstar North, issued a video address to staff members where he claimed that MindsEye failed as a result of internal and external sabotage, "among other things." The report goes on to state that Benzies "insisted BARB would bounce back and relaunch MindsEye" at some point in time.
