The first game "Eye of Heart" developed by Build a Rocket Boy, the studio founded by Leslie Benzies, former R Star North president, has failed. The first release is a disaster. Not only are there many bugs, but the PC optimization is a mess, and the picture is slack, which is completely different from what a game should be on sale.There is evidence that PlayStation has already given refunds to multiple players, a situation that reminds of the disastrous starter of CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077, which eventually led to a complete withdrawal from the shelves.
A player on Reddit posted a screenshot of PlayStation's refund. The player posted that the PlayStation customer service easily gave them a refund, and said that they had learned about the game optimization of "Eye of Heart" and were under investigation.The player added that the only other game that PlayStation had made such a statement before was Cyberpunk 2077, which was removed from the shelves and suspended for 6 months.
Players say that the promotional video of "Eye of Heart" is released and is said to be enhanced by PS5 Pro and supports 60FPS, but this is not the case.
With social media filled with bug videos from Eye of Heart, the Edinburgh-based studio Build a Rocket Boy has begun to fix it.On Thursday local time, Build a Rocket Boy issued a statement saying that the issue has been found for most players, saying that a fix patch will be available as soon as Friday.
According to player feedback, the optimization, stability, and NPC AI of "Eye of Heart" have big problems. However, the developer Build a Rocket Boy and the publisher IOI interaction did not provide the media with a review version before the release, which also reflects that they may have known about this wave of problems in advance, but chose to conceal and let the players pay.
Currently, Steam's review of "Eye of Heart" has mixed reviews, which has improved a certain degree of improvement compared to the "mostly bad reviews" released on the first release, but the negative review rate remains at 60%.
