Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst

I recently completed my second playthrough of Mirror's Edge Catalyst and it mostly confirmed my thoughts I had on the game from my first time playing it. The game has some gorgeous areas and some amazing set pieces that will blow you away and 22 "dashes" (time trials) that genuinely seem to get it right leaving the play with a lot of freedom for plotting out a route to complete said trial. Unfortunately that's about it since the main parts of the game will have the player following intended routes that often times the game designers couldn't possibly navigate as half of the movement mechanics have been snipped and ruined from the original and reintroduced as a rpg system. Many aspects of the parkour wind up forcing the player into long winded animations that are often impossible to avoid for example the grappling hook which gives no momentum, no locks you into set paths and gives you little to no control of Faith. All that said the music is still quite good and a nice accompaniment ...

EA is a dog company

Mirror’s Edge™ Catalyst is a first-person action-adventure game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts, serving as a reboot and prequel to the original Mirror’s Edge. It thrusts players into the sleek, futuristic city of Glass, a visually striking urban landscape characterized by its clean lines, bright white surfaces, and vivid red accents. The game’s hallmark is its unique blend of parkour-style movement and fast-paced traversal, combined with a narrative focused on freedom, rebellion, and corporate oppression. Unlike many traditional first-person games that center on shooting or combat, Catalyst emphasizes fluid motion and momentum as core gameplay elements, creating a distinctive and immersive experience. At the heart of Mirror’s Edge™ Catalyst is the exhilarating movement system. Players control Faith Connors, an agile courier who relies on her parkour skills to navigate the cityscape, sprinting across rooftops, scaling walls, vaulting over obstacles, and ...

EA needs to remove the DRM so you don't have to delete files and disconnect the internet in order to play it's fun though.

great game, atmosphere is phenomenal with a solid story. ending was a bit underwhelming though.

I could not play the game. After selecting a brightness, it flashes EA's launcher and an error with online stuff (too fast, couldn't read), and then closes completely. Don't bother buying it.

Im going back to play the game over again without the runners vision and it is SO MUCH FUN! I WISH EA WAS STILL PUMPING OUT BANGERS LIKE THIS!

Great game to mindlessly replay while you ponder.
