Faith runs with freedom in a game that feels as fresh as the original and gives a step forward in every aspect. If parkour is a religion, DICE is its particular Holy See.

Faith has put her running shoes back on and delivers a great free-running experience. The game looks fantastic and the gameplay is smooth. There are a few annoying things in the game like almost invisible glass, but still this is a game you should own.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst respects the legacy of the first game. Actually, it is neither better nor worse than its predecessor but the fact that it is a reboot allows a new audience to approach the series. The number of activities, the argument and 30 hours of gameplay make up for the bleak atmosphere of Glass City. DICE seems to have laid strong foundations this time and perhaps this is just the beginning of a new Mirror's Edge series.

DICE fixed nearly everything wrong with the original, expanded the world and made traversal faster and more exciting in every way.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst doesn't surprise anymore. Clean aesthetics and fluent, chained parkour movements are still there, although EA DICE decided to develop a sandbox game. If you are a fan, you won't see many differences and you will see some debatable design choices. If you haven't played the first one, give Catalyst the chance to surprise you.

If you can look past the weak story and the dull characters, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has some of the best gameplay mechanics on the current gen by far.

Is there space in the gaming world for a first-person platformer? Absolutely, but I feel like the design decisions behind Mirror's Edge Catalyst limit the number of people it will ultimately appeal to. If it is "for you," you'll probably love it. If you're not sure about the first-person viewpoint or limited navigational tools, though, I recommend giving it a rental or a try-out with a friend's copy. It's a good game, but I can't guarantee it's one you'll enjoy playing.

If you loved the original Mirror’s Edge, you will likely love Catalyst as well. On the other hand, the same issues that some people had with the first game are still present in Catalyst. This doesn’t feel like it’s going to win over any non-fans of the franchise. Yet, I wouldn’t say that is a bad thing. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst knows exactly what it is, and more importantly what it is not. It is a stylish platforming game that just so happens to be in the first-person perspective; it is not a shooter, and it is not for everyone.

DICE may have failed to address all of the problems of its predecessor, but it completely re-captured what Mirror’s Edge was all about. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is a great way to bring new fans–and old fans alike–back into the world of Faith Connors.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst makes some major missteps in the story and character department, but hey, that's what the mute button is for...More important is that when the action is go and Faith is in full stride, Mirror's Edge Catalyst is as thrilling and sure-footed as they come.
