Still a Masterpiece
Still a classic all these years later. Solid free-running mechanics with an excellent story, if a bit minimalist. The performance is still impressive, even on older hardware, in my experience. For Linux users, another GoG user has set up a guide to get up and running, and it's really helpful. https://www.gog.com/forum/mirrors_edge/mirrors_edge_for_linux

A classic that has aged well
"Mirror's Edge" is not a tough one to review, and certainly not tough to praise. It's a tightly-assembled story with superb visuals, relatable characters, and credible acting. The gameplay is excellent; Faith is by no means invincible, but with a bit of skill and judgment, she shows herself quite capable of handling things. It's possible to play most of the game at a sort of amateur level, but it's all very speedrun-friendly too. This isn't a terribly long play, and the game systems are heavily focused on action. The story could have easily been translated to a feature-length action movie. But if you're looking for a nice blend of drama and engrossing platform play with a splash of shooting, "Mirror's Edge" is a great choice.

There is atmosphere here.
First played this on xbox. This stands up well even today, because of the first-person animations and voice acting was done pretty well. The soundtrack is like techno ambience which really connects you with the missions as you feel like this lone person in this dystopian story, which contrasts well with the somewhat pristine city of glass. The open-air roof top environments sell you on this big city you are traversing. The controls are pretty good and never get in the way of enjoying the game once you figure it out. Once the main mission is over the world seems pretty empty. Not much to do after that except some time trails which can keep you engages with a really loyal small community you can find on discord and other places. The sequel to this, Mirrors Edge Catalyst just ups the graphics a bit but not much and adds overall good polish to an already solid concept. But I really wish part 3 would release with next gen graphics and animations. On High Graphics settings, it can be a bit harsh on some PC's and you could even use ReShade to polish the look to your likening with post process coloring. Overall, for the price it's okay. But personally think this should be priced more like $14 today.

A great first person platformer
This game is amazing as long as you don't have to stop. Unfortunately sometimes you don't immediately know where to go. And sometimes you should to stop to shoot at police. Graphics are very good considering the age. The story is nothing to write home about, but doesn't hurt the game. Overall i would recommend this game.

Good Concept, Mediocre Execution
As some have pointed out, this game definitely unlocks that mindset of the Sonic games, thinking quick and making decisions as you parkour and freerun around a corrupt, corporate police state. On paper, I love this game and its concept art. Level design is pretty good, too! However, this game is made by DICE. Now, I quite like a few Battlefield games but in a game about freerunning, I shouldn't move like a Battlefield game. Running is clunky and doesn't feel smooth at all. Button input is laggy. Collision detection can be frustrating (e.g. falling through a pipe unless hitting the right part of the pipe). Combat is infamously bad and imprecise. I found the story to range from alright to dull. It didn't hinder the game at all, though and you may very well find it good. It's definitely not the focus. Overall, this game is a good middle-of-the-road game to take your mind off things. It keeps your mind moving and though the control may be too jagged for a game of its genre, I still found enjoyment throughout. Catch this on sale if you want to satisfy an urge for a parkour game.
