Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst

As much as people will hate on this game, I personally think it's amazing. Yeah the story sucks hard and doesn't have any connection to the first game, but honestly the story to me doesn't matter at all. The gameplay and graphics sell it for me, The controls feel so smooth and responsive that it actually makes controlling Faith so much fun. The graphics in this game are so beautiful it's insane, For a game that came out 10 years ago and having it still look amazing is pretty impressive. However there are two major downsides to this game. First off you have to install the EA App to play it which is pretty annoying since every time you want to play the game it has to open the EA App first before it can launch the game. Screw EA for the forced DRM and screw them for killing off the Mirror's Edge IP. Second downside is that EA shut down the servers for this game so you can no longer unlock any new achievements, plus unlock the online only achievements. Thankfully a group of people were able to reverse engineer the EA servers so now it is actually possible to play the game the way it was intended. Huge shoutout to the beat revival project for working on this. And because of them, I was finally able to unlock the last two achievements I needed to get 100%. The project is currently in open beta so expect to encounter bugs and glitches while using it. link to the project: https://beatrevival.me Anyways I think this game is a 10/10 and its definitely worth playing despite its flaws.

断档级别的游戏，ea雪藏了，只能说当年太超前了，生不逢时

傻逼的EA死妈的EA，不说我从steam买游戏启动还他妈要下载EA那傻逼软件，老子进游戏按啥键都没反应就不能跳过那傻逼CG，然后看完了还他妈的无限加载，老子烟都抽完一根了你他妈右上角还在转，我玩你吗！

to play this game, you need to install EA's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ offbrand chinese spyware ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If you make the mistake of installing this game because of course steam doesn't tell you what it downloads, be prepared to see kernel rooted ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in your directory. The only cure is to take your drive and smash it to bits.

Decent Game, could've been great if not for Online BS. Main issue is that the game no longer work on Steam Deck/Linux SOLELY due to the phaseout of Origin in favor of the EA App, a mandatory launcher for a Steam game, preventing the game from working. Spent an hour trying different fixes to no avail. If buying the game legally is more of a hassle than other ways, then EA is messing up tremendously.

This game doesn't even work man, as soon as the first, long, unskipable cutscene ends you get an infinite load screen, i found 3 possible fixes: - Start the game disconnected from internet until you are in the main map, and then you can connect and play freely forever - Put steam in offline mode + put EA APP in offline mode as soon as it launches - Download a save from the internet. I did it all at the same time so IDK what fixed it, but it worked. Now, the game itself is pretty solid: - Aesthetics and sound are very good but i feel they should have kept the original design and style which was pretty bold and still fresh today, instead they opted for a futuristic setting with more random and abstract levels. Sadly this also affect the story, it's a much less grounded story and characters are more histrionic and tryhard, story is very cliché and filled with "modern AAA slang" if you know what i mean. - The missions are good, not as good as the OG game, but ok, the main issue is some forced combats, and the combat system is not very good, don't know why they even included combat in this game, parkour should be the protagonist and luckily parkour gameplay is fantastic, is a much more agile and flexibble version of the original, not neccessarily better tho, just different, but incredibly fun nonetheless. - Open world sucks ass, the map design is good but the content is not, so if you play it, please skip everything in the open world. Skip everything BUT the timed challenges, getting 3 stars is THE BEST and pretty addictive. Im actually kinda bummed this game was not a success, i would gladly pay for more time trials in the style of this game. Another game victim of open world and AAA trends, why make a good, cheap, short but well made game when you can make an ultra ambitious AAA Open World with Mocap and expensive celebs and high fidelity graphics that will destroy the series if it fails. Sigh.

虽然想说十万个可惜... 但是，但是，美术和动作依然顶级，至今无人望其项背 就连DICE自己都做不到了。
