Detailed walkthrough for MindsEye, covering the Old Market Square and First Contact missions. Learn how to navigate the missions, overcome challenges, and progress through the game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game begins with Jacob Diaz, a former special ops soldier, moving to a high-tech future city. He gets a job as a senior security officer for a billionaire tech bro's company.
  2. 2
    Jacob has a military-issued tech implant that was infected with an alien virus in the Middle East, either making robots target him or giving him control over them. He has amnesia regarding the incident.
  3. 3
    His motivations are unclear, ranging from uncovering the truth about his past, protecting his employer, seeking revenge on the military, or pursuing a hacker girl he rescues.
  4. 4
    The game presents an open world but heavily restricts exploration, immediately locking players into story missions and penalizing deviation with NPC calls.
  5. 5
    Players are often forced to drive across the city for missions, with a significant portion of gameplay dedicated to this, often while being nagged by NPCs.
  6. 6
    The open world is described as having little to do, with a city and desert landscape.
  7. 7
    Gameplay outside of driving primarily involves token rounds of pedestrian cover-based shooting against inept enemies.
  8. 8
    Jacob's drone superpower has a limited function: deleting a single target when its cooldown is up.
  9. 9
    Other mission types include tailing missions and a single safe-cracking minigame.
  10. 10
    Optional race challenges are available but are presented in a menu list rather than being discoverable in the open world.
  11. 11
    The plot features a secret alien temple beneath the city, where players confront the main villain multiple times with inconsistent pacing.
  12. 12
    The billionaire tech bro character, a thinly veiled Elon Musk stand-in, is portrayed ambiguously, shifting between a manipulative figure and a misunderstood visionary.
  13. 13
    The latter part of the game focuses on defending this character's tech projects from government and military opposition.
  14. 14
    The game ends abruptly and unsatisfactorily.
Tips
  • Pay attention to NPC directions to avoid being reprimanded for deviating from the mission path.
  • Utilize Jacob's drone ability strategically for quick eliminations when available.
  • Explore the menu for optional race challenges if you're looking for additional activities, though they are not integrated into the open world organically.
  • Be prepared for a significant amount of driving and repetitive shooting segments.
