Mirror's Edge
8 hours playtime
no achievements
A bit late update here :P. So let's get started, it was released in 2009 :O and developed by EA DICE, Mirror's Edge is a first-person action game set in a near future where politics has managed to control any action against freedom of speech, so a group that is against these actions have a full-time job delivering messages, letters and others (yeah a courier) avoiding government control by running and jumping on the roofs of buildings to let the freedom be a thing. Faith, the main character, is the one who will let you know how it feels to jump from the top of a building while you escape from military forces trying to kill you.
Mirror's Edge was a really good game with nice graphics and great gameplay, it may be frustrating at the beginning but you will get used to fluid speedrunning, sometimes you may get missed having troubles to find where to go but I just a minor thing I guess. Some levels are really exciting and challenging, I remember being very focused while I was in the subway chapter and you have to escape from the subway, so you have to be very quick to make a plan, the sounds of the trains coming for you make this very thrilling and might get you into a shocking moment, oh yeah! that nice feeling when you just make that jump and saved your life.Something I didn't like too much was environment visuals and color inside the buildings, the short story as well the combat isn't as good as it could be though. If this game had had some achievements maybe would have extended my play time, it's true it has collectibles (runners' bag).
I definitely recommend it and also playing this with controller :D
Mirror’s Edge was such a great game indeed! It’s missing achievements on PC unfortunately but they had some on Xbox and it’s true it was quite useful for once to provide some more challenge. I loved that game very much but sadly the same can’t be said about its sequel, reboot or whatever they named it. They managed to make such a great first game, and instead of improving upon it, they just made that reboot more dull and boring. Typical EA… :D
But yeah, the first Mirror’s Edge is a must try! Very fun game.
Oh! Sad to hear that, but it’s “classic EA” like you said, I didn’t research out about the sequel, so bad news about it. Yeah, indeed a very fun game I guess is a gem now that EA killed Faith T.T
I remember that the game was kind of a big splash in my group, but personally I never played it. It’s one of those games I look at and think to myself “One day maybe…” and then I remember that I already have a ton of games I want to play and stop looking at it :D
Glad that you enjoyed it. Sounds like a good experience from what you write in your review. And nice Easter Egg you found :)
Hope you find the time to play it, definitely you should :D
