MindsEye developer offers a starter pack that lets you try the beleaguered action game’s best mission for free, though you should imagine air-quotes the size of skyscrapers around the word ‘best’

MindsEye, developed by Build A Rocket Boy, launched on Steam five months ago with numerous issues, including a convoluted narrative, poor combat mechanics, and technical glitches, leading to overwhelmingly negative reception. Leslie Benzies, the studio's head, blamed 'saboteurs' for the game's shortcomings amid over a hundred layoffs and concerns about mismanagement. A recent patch was released to improve performance, AI, animation, and combat. Build A Rocket Boy introduced a "free starter pack" that includes the seventh campaign mission, "Robin Hood," which features stealth, a car chase, and a street gunfight. The starter pack also contains 14 Arcadia missions, though past experiences with these missions have been unfavorable. Regular updates are promised for the free starter pack, allowing players to experience the game without financial commitment.

It’s a shame HoYoverse’s new game is sporting offensively cheap-looking character models because everything else has me sold on its paranormal cop mystery

HoYoverse has announced a new game titled Varsapura, which follows their previous projects, Petite Planet and Nexus Anima. The game features a narrative centered around a paranormal government agency dealing with a harmful black substance. Character designs have received criticism for their plasticky look, contrasting with the game's realistic aesthetic inspired by Singapore. Varsapura includes engaging gameplay mechanics, such as a combat system similar to Zenless Zone Zero, allowing character swaps and dynamic attacks. The protagonist uses a whimsical umbrella as a weapon, while a secondary character, Sayuki, wields paperwork. The gameplay incorporates stealth elements and features a small police vehicle for transportation. Despite some concerns about character models, Varsapura offers a mix of creativity, light horror elements, and a richly designed world.
