Mirror's Edge came in a time when we had lots of shooters and copycat games. Something fresh, fun and attractive. The idea of first-person parkour sounds crazy but it feels amazing and you'll squirm everytime you fail to jump between buildings. After all this years is still a pretty looking game, thanks to an amazing art direction. Top this with Solar Fields music and you'll have the best adrenaline rush in a game ever. It only falls short on narrative & combat aspects. Very light story (you against some evil corp) and character development that's just out there and combat is not even encouraged since it breaks the momentum. But this is one of those brilliant sparks that you need to try sometime. It's a relative short game so it will take you around 7 to 8 hours. Now, the sequel is better at narrative, scale and tech level but has it's own quirks for being too ambitious. Being a Origin-only game doesn't help either. It's very cheap now but I would still recomend going with the original first.
