The original Mirror’s Edge occupies a strange space in gaming circles. When it launched on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2008, it was mostly well received, being praised for its unique first-person parkour gameplay and striking red-on-white visuals alike. Then, some nifty DLC and a tablet spin-off aside, nothing.
Yet fans of the game never quite gave up hope for more from the universe, and last year publisher EA finally made good with the tease of a new entry. At this year’s E3, we finally learned more about the return of the series, now known as Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, and got our first hands on experience with the resurgent franchise. In short? It’s everything you could ever want from a new Mirror’s Edge game.
