For those hoping several patches could make MindsEye into a possibly well-executed game, there’s no salvaging the mess left behind in Redrock.
Cloud Dosage - [Jon Scarr](https://opencritic.com/critic/11148/jon-s
The saga of Build a Rocket Boy’s MindsEye continues, and it’s not looking good for the game.
On Tuesday, Build a Rocket Boy released MindsEye after a pre-launch period that was anything but normal. From one executive alleging that bad actors were funding a pre-launch smear campaign against MindsEye to other executives departing the studio one week before it came out, everything surrounding MindsEye has been weird.
A representative for Build a Rocket Boy and publisher IOI Partners confirmed that Polygon would not be receiving a review code. Other outlets, like [Eurogamer](https://www.eurogamer.net/where

It’s been eight years (wowza) since the last Injustice game, and I’m thinking we’re overdue for more.
NetherRealm Studios’ brand is bloody fighting games, though in 2013, it toned down the violence a tad for Injustice: Gods Among Us. Based on the title, it may not have been even totally clear to Mortal Kombat fans that it was a fighting game starring DC Comics heroes and villains, like Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Joker. But Injustice was a hit for the studio, and spawned a sequel in 2017 that expanded the weird and wild world while offering the same knuckle-busting gameplay.
