About Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst
✦ AI summary
Sprint and fight your way through a sprawling dystopian city as Faith, a parkour expert uncovering a dangerous conspiracy from rooftops to underground tunnels. Combine fluid first-person traversal with momentum-based combat where staying fast and focused keeps you alive against enemies and the environment alike.
Follow Faith, a daring free runner, as she fights for freedom in the city of Glass. What appears to be an elegant, high-tech city on the outside, has a terrible secret hidden within. Explore every corner from the highest beautifully lit rooftops to the dark and gritty tunnels below. The city is huge, free to roam and Faith is at the center of it all. Through the first-person perspective, combine her fluid movement and advanced combat with the city's surroundings to master the environment and uncover the conspiracy.
TRAVERSAL
Hit top speed quickly zipping down wire lines. Balance on pipes before smoothly dropping to a hang before climbing, hand over hand, under an obstacle. Run vertically and horizontally on any wall and use your environment to swing around corners or over gaps.
FOCUS
Fast, light, and agile, Faith must stay focused and use her movement to survive. Focus is gained from free running, and once Faith has Focus enemies cannot hit her. Focus is lost from low speed and being attacked, so it is essential to maintain a balance of out-traversing opponents and engaging them directly.
MOMENTUM
Build momentum to do daring jumps between rooftops or stylish slides through tight spaces. Use the new Shift move to get a short burst of acceleration in any direction. For a quick change of plan, tweak any move with Quickturn, a rapid 180 or 90 degree turn.
COMBAT
Deliver devastating full body Heavy Traversal Attacks that throw your opponents stumbling into walls, over railings, and into each other. Use your momentum to flow right through KrugerSec as you string together a series of Light Traversal Attacks, building focus, and keeping speed. Outmaneuver opponents as you Shift behind them for a kick to the back. Or take advantage of a stun with a few rapid punches before Shifting away to avoid retaliation or a counter.
GADGETS
Faith’s running skills, martial arts knowledge, and determination is expanded on with a few pieces of hardware used to traverse the city and rise against the oppression smothering the citizens of Glass.

Screw this. Impossible to play on Linux. EA apparently needs to shove its launcher in a 10 year old game for some reason. Well, I know somewhere else they can shove it. If I find I way, I'll update the review.2 found this helpful
Honestly a great game. I remember playing the original a very long time ago on console and liked it. This game has its flaws but as a whole I found it very enjoyable. I found the story and gameplay mechanics fun to use. There are some parts that are seriously so fun to play. The soundtrack for this game is impeccable. The map and world building is amazing. I would say that if this game is on sale like I got it then go for it. I wouldn't get it for the face value 20$. If your looking for a fun game to enjoy and spend some good hours in playing then play this its fun and satisfying I enjoyed it a lot.
[h2]Cannot Recommend In It’s Current State Tragically[/h2] Mirror’s Edge is a franchise that deserved so much better, much like everything published by EA. This game’s current state is honestly not playable. If you are trying to play this on Linux, there are guides on how to do it, but even on Windows, this game is a bit of a small headache to get working. I’m going to tell you what you need to do to get this game to run AND how to enable achievements for it, as those are broken currently. First off, go into the EA app and set it to offline mode which you can access through the three horizontal bars at the top left corner of the app. In the app, it will tell you it’s offline and also show you installed games you can play. Launch this game through that, NOT through Steam. Once you get past the notification that says the game can’t access to servers, hold the E key to see if you skip the cutscene. If you can, skip it (you’re missing nothing, the character is just released from prison after serving a sentence). If the screen flashes white whenever you press a key THE GAME WILL BE STUCK LOADING AFTER THE CUTSCENE. This is because it is searching for servers to log into and the server…
EA doesn't deserve this game , but the game is really good and absolutely beautiful.
As must as I like parkour flow, as much I hate combat system - one of the worst I ever played.
decent story, great gameplay, great graphics that still keep up in 2026. would absolutely recommend.
