One of the best games ever made and I don't exaggerate. From the first trailor I knew it would be something unique and it delivered, in an era where EA pumped out solid games one after another, believe it or not. Parkour, first person, totalitarian government, murder, and one girl out to prove her sisters innocence in an age where information is regulated and only the runners can get the truth out. I'm trying not to make it sound like an official advert but I want everyone to play this. Beautiful, intuitive, easy for beginners and challenging for seasoned players, the ability to run up a wall, twist, and jump again in first person never gets old. Sprinkled through the map are paths highlighted in red but its up to you how you want to traverse those paths. Straightforward, from the side, from above or wherever you think works best but with a little tweaking the same path can be used in multiple ways to shave off time and increase and max out your "flow" or top speed. Some combat is mixed in with police trying to stop you but its not necessary, is clunky in a way that a runner not a fighter would be, and can even be bypassed in stylish ways most times and is encouraged. I can't gush about this game enough. If possible, get the extra time trials mode too, which take the aesthetic even further, boil down the city to a 3D first person platforming obstacle course, and challenge you to shave seconds off your time. buy it, enjoy it, get immersed in the city, and find a new path through the air ducts and soler panels while making it look as smooth as possible.
