The developer behind the worst PS5 action-adventure game of 2025 really wants players to give it a chance, as it surprise-dropped a free version no one expected. MindsEye, brought to you by Leslie Benzies of Grand Theft Auto fame, now has a “free starter pack” on the PS Store.
MindsEye is the worst-rated ‘AAA’ PS5 game of 2025
We’re not sure how to classify MindsEye’s free starter pack, as it neither falls in the category of a demo nor a trial. While the pack contains a ton of demo content, it’ll regularly be updated with new playable content. I guess the hope here is that at some point, players will want to purchase the full experience.
“In the campaign demo, you play as Jacob Diaz, a former soldier with a neural implant and fractured memories, drawn into an explosion that erupts into a high-speed chase and fierce firefight through the city,” reads an official overview. “ARCADIA offers a variety of challenges, from survival scenarios to combat encounters, ground races, and sky races, giving you new ways to play beyond the campaign.”
The starter pack contains the Robin Hood demo mission.
MindsEye holds a Metacritic score of 28/100 for the PS5 version. Other platforms didn’t earn stellar ratings either.
