Got slightly elevated after Catalyst
Uh, it good. Story is not, it not worth your time. However, it is less intellectually offensive than Catalyst's tripe and condescending cliches. Now, it kinda a mess. Don't alt tab from fullscreen unless on main menu because chance to freeze computer. Turn off PhysX because it do bad (framerate struggles). But uh, you interested in a parkour game? This is the best one out there. Dying Light doesn't have much replayability and, for me, felt too much like Uncharted junk. Catalyst has open world! That'll be gre- nope. Catalyst is your typical...well it's an EA Ubisoft sorta "Open World", meaning it's low effort outside of visuals and not engaging. Just, go look up YT videos on Catalyst open world stuff, or other Catalyst stuff for more info. If you want parkour, then as far as I know this is kinda the only game that gets close to feeling like actual parkour while also being not bland or bad.

First person Platformers are bad.
The main reason to not get this game is the clunky controls. A first person platformer is hard enough, but without controler support even with the few contorls you have, you find that you constantly fall becuase you don't hit that wall run just right in tight quarters and end up falling. This gets compounded by some of the auto save points that put you at a point where you have lost your momentum, at which point you die over and over again. Add in that your first person view is constantly jerking about, that advancment markers are often not very clear, which is especially bad when you are being shot at, and a very clunky 'combat' mechanic, reminds us why there are not many games like this. This game probably would have been ten times better with a third person view.

Thrives on flow but offers little
A cult classic of sorts, Mirror's Edge relies more on fond memories than recent playthroughs for it's praise. The game graphics and style are it's strongest points that still shine nearly 10yrs later. But in a game of stark contrasts it has a, politely put, "unique" animation style for it's cutscenes that pale in comparison. And while the universe the story is set in lets the imagination wonder and wander, the story itself is quite bland and dull. The environments seem open and waiting to be explored as you see the horizons from the rooftops but the level design is very sneakily on rails and corridor'd in. Still there are moments of "free running", and even slower more puzzle-like sections, that are absolutely amazing and you enjoy moments of pure bliss and experience what this game was striving for. But then you again are met with contrast. This time in more ways than one. Single awkward (not to be confused with difficult) jumps in the midst of a flowing sequence, thee possibly worst gunplay/combat in a FPS ever (this cannot be understated), or maybe an ill-advised checkpoint that puts you back before a slow door opening sequence or too close to an edge to jump right back in. All these things and more will ruin the good moments. And with regularity. Simply put, the flow of the game is interrupted too negatively too often for it to live up to the tales of grandeur it has developed over the years. Its worth a visit as it is thankfully very very short (4hr range). But for whatever it is worth, it doesn't quite live up to it's reputation in my book
