There isn't much to say about this classic. It is a pioneer of parkour games and one of the best in the genre. The level design is fantastic, and it is highly satisfying from both visual and artistic standpoints. The story is also excellent. All in all, it is a wonderful game that offers a short yet memorable experience.

Hey kiddo, Handsome Jack here... and I just played Mirror's Edge, and apparently somebody looked at the concept of running errands and thought, “You know what this needs? Parkour, authoritarian governments, guns, and one extremely athletic woman who refuses to use doors like a normal person.” Finally, innovation. You play as Faith, a runner who spends her days jumping across rooftops, sliding under pipes, climbing...

Mirror’s Edge (2008) remains for me today a deeply nostalgic experience that hits right in the chest. It hasn't aged a single day. I always come back and play from time to time without getting bored of it even I played so many hours. I feel the same for Mirror's Edge Catalyst that I own on EA App. When the ambient, ethereal soundtrack by Solar Fields kicks in against that perfect blue sky, the melancholy is...

Highly recommend. I actually played through it twice just because it's that good. And for a game this old it genuinely holds up very well. I was blown away. If you get random freezes or crashes try disabling PhysX if you are on any RTX card. The PhysX engine was built for the old GTX cards so it can conflict with modern drivers sometimes. Again, it varies, but if you get crashes don't let that be why you refund....

Wasn't expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised. Very much a 2009 game and could use a remake, controls can feel janky, the FOV is annoyingly low, and some level design can be frustrating or confusing when you don't take the intended route. But there's also something refreshing about this era of games. No unnecessary noise, just gameplay with narrative cutscenes to break up the flow. It's ambitious for a 2009...

A timeless classic. Once you have it mastered, its hours of fun. The OG parkour game, there's a nostalgic, dreamlike quality to the gameplay. Those days as a kid where you might dream of flying - this feels close to that.

A short game, i like the sense of speed and the traversal puzzles trought the level, the parkour feels nice, the wall jump is a little tricky at the beginning and there is some jank here an there in some jumps. The artstyle is great very 2000, my only complain is that the game becomes more of a shooter towards the end, were running is impossible so you have to just kill everyone to progress. The story serves is...

Though some of the movement mechanics can be difficult to get used to this game is a really fun roof-runner with good story and plenty of action. I actually redownloaded this on steam because I had played it as a kid and remembered the game so vividly.
