Travelling between these districts feels great, thanks to the way DICE conveys player movement through visual effects and sound design. Running up walls, sliding under pipes and performing saving rolls from great heights still requires precise timing and sharp instincts-this is exactly what I loved about the first Mirror’s Edge, and it’s all intact.Ĭollectively, it’s stunning, as close to capturing a futuristic city experience as I’ve seen in a game, and it feels like a much more detailed version of that world you’ve just had linear snapshots of before.
MIRRORS EDGE REVIEWS FULL
While acquiring Faith’s full moveset from the first game takes about an hour to unlock within the game’s new tech tree, this’ll give your muscle memory time to readjust to how fast Mirror’s Edge is. While Catalyst is as intricate, complex and exhilarating when it comes to platforming as its predecessor was, a flawed new combat system sadly holds the game back from being the perfect version of Mirror’s Edge I was hoping for.įor those who loved the free-running in the first Mirror’s Edge, that all returns as you remember it, more or less. Acquiring this, and upgrading it, offers new ways to get around the city. Introduced in Catalyst is the magrope, a sort of grappling hook that attaches to specific points in the world. Far from being an open world in the mold of GTA, though, this is sort of like a Zelda-style large hub, with new areas opening up over time as your toolset expands.

The big switch-up this time is that it’s set in a seamless open world playground, rather than a series of linear levels. Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst is, like its predecessor, a first-person platformer focused on free-running.
