It took me about 7 and a half hours to finish the story of the game, which is also a huge step up from the original's 2 and a half hour story mode. And I still can't put the game down, thanks to its plethora of side activities that are just as fun as the original game's time trials.

    If there's anything I'd complain about in this game, it would only be that the ending of the story didn't really reach much of a conclusion. I was hoping for the protagonist's actions in the story to have more of an impact, but to be honest, the ending made sense and it was actually very refreshing to get a story that doesn't have an overly happy ending.

    There's a lot more that I would love to say about this game, but I'm not very good at expressing myself in text, so I'll let the short description of what I liked and disliked and the score I gave speak for those masses of thoughts I have for this game.    … Expand

For Catalyst, these categories are Gameplay, Aesthetics and Narrative.

    Gameplay and Aesthetics are both phenomenal. Gameplay is great, as good as any parkour game, thought so of the last one and think so of this one. Combat is the weakest part of the game, still work and is more fluid without guns. However, it can feel clunky at times and the subtraction of guns should have included the addition of combos. Also, you can't counter anymore which is a huge minus. Every other aspect of Gameplay is great. The reason I included Aesthetics in this part is because the Aesthetics help the feel of the Gameplay. I've said this of the last Mirror's Edge game and I'll say it of this one, this is the best art style of any game ever. The only other major series I could think of would be Final Fantasy, but I love this art style so much. The Aesthetics give a great feeling to the Gameplay. If you're running for an extended period of time, some music should begin to play to heighten that feeling. Without the Aesthetics, the Gameplay would feel and be worse, dropping this game's rating significantly.

    Next comes the Narrative, which fails to engage. It starts very well and ends very well, but the middle there's a severe lack of character development. This happens a lot in open-world games and is why they shouldn't have gone with this model, but more on that later. The narrative itself is a rag-tag group of runners living on the edge of a corporate world, trying to survive and deal revolutionaries and the evils of individualism. It's Marxism 101, we could've handled the corporations, but without all of the philosophical grandstanding, which is quite ironic because the most evil corporation of them all, EA, published this game. If you would learn about the difficulties and oppression through actual story, rather than **** side quests, it would allow for greater character development. The story was just too childish, it would've been much better in the hands of someone like George R.R. Martin, it needs to be darker.    … Expand

The people who say the combat is bad seem to be the same people who don't know how to play. The combat in this game requires you to experiment with the environment to take down your enemies, it's not about you just standing there and you punching enemies until they fall down one by one. I've seen a bunch of people on Youtube do this and it's honestly really cringeworthy. Visuals are beautiful, soundtrack is amazing, some of the characters like Plastic and Icarus were great and memorable.

    But the thing that really stands out is the incredible and jaw dropping parkour. It's not like in Assassin's Creed where you just push a button to climb and that's it. This game has a lot of emphasis on parkour, you actually need momentum and timing. The only flaw I can agree with is the story. It's not "horrible", it's just kind of lame and cliche.

    One last thing i'd like to point out is that I highly recommend playing this game without hud on. All you need is the your stamina and health bar. Disable the useless enemy health bars and that stupid combat reticle thing. Also disable the runner vision, only use it whenever you're lost. Don't know what EA was thinking when they decided to put this much hud into a Mirror's Edge game.

    There you go, an honest review. It's like an 8/10. I'm convinced the people that are bashing this game haven't even played it and just go by what other people say.    … Expand

    - Is that short area here all of the map ? I hope not.
    - Genereic fetch and run quests....hmmm

    So I was a little bit disappointed by that seemingly wasted potential, at first.

    Then after some hours later into the game, after I unlocked 2-3 more areas and the story unfolds:
    - hey the music is nice, and this enw area has much cooler atmosphere.
    - running around is actually satisfying
    - those node riddles are awesome
    - combat looks good but is of course still simple and not the focus of the game.

    after 50% 100% of the game:
    - This is such a good atmosphere
    - I really like the the little rebel against the system story. It was told well withing the frame of this game.
    - eager to complete the story
    - sad when it all ended.

    Please give this game a chance the first quarter is just a 7 but then it migrates to a near 9 towards the end. There is no other game where you can explore a city with that kind of mobility. I was surprised I liked it so much in the end, again.    … Expand

    I played the first game and loved it. CATALYST has the same atmosphere as the first game, but offers more freedom. I loved the gameplay and the freedom, also the new skills. The story could be better, but Catalyst's gameplay stands out above the rest. I hope EA will invest in a new game. Faith still remains one of the best well-designed female characters. I love her design.

This game, is so significantly better that the original that I was lost for words. It like they elegantly streamlined everything good about the original game, and added a few cool things to an already perfect moveset! I really love everything to do with the new movement system and was surprised to see it better tuned still after the version from the beta! And the combat, while much more simplistic and generally incredibly easy, especially once you get all the upgrades, was much better by virtue of you being an mostly skip it, and have no gunplay options anymore, because Faith is a much more capable fighter now so when you do fight, you hard and quick and move on. And moving on is what I was often most excited to do. The environments were really quite interesting, and obviously beautiful, and to be able to have so many hidden goodies tucked away in the, and to have so much freedom in the traversal of said areas was sublime. I won't say the game is perfect by any means, as it still has odd bugs while loading on the fly while you were running around what parts of glass you were actually able to explore. I must say, the map is much smaller that it seemed upon first glance, and that's not necessarily a bad thing as traversing all of it on foot makes it feel significantly larger! Also, I had expected that the underground had more too it, so it was disappointing that it was so small. And furthermore, the music was just not terribly impactful. It was functional, but nowhere near as good as the first game. I get that they were going for a sort of ore procedural mix that adapted to play different loops at different times and fade in and out layers of sound, but it just didn't capture me at all like the first game's music did. I guess I'm glad the jukebox is in the Zephyr transit hub then. X3 Anyways, the story, for me, was good. Nothing astounding and so called the personal family twist upon capture of someone who upon first glance was clearly not who they appeared to me. Anyways, I'm so satisfied, cause there is so much more depth and universe building in this story, that unlike the first where I could never imagine a direct sequel to spawn from, I can easily see a sequel being made to follow this game! There are so many interesting possibilities, and I loved and am still loving digging around for more recordings and documents, and listening in on newscasts and loudspeaker announcements to try and glean more about Glass and Cascadia, and Omnistat as well. I can easily see other games moving into other nearby regions while also possibly digging further into Glass itself. In summation, I feel like Catalyst is Mirror's Edge in all ways, and a successful and poignant example of what a good reboot can do to give a franchise a large dose of life and potential it never had before. Simply put, I have Faith in Dice, and I eagerly hope that the game is the Catalyst that brings about another Mirror's Edge game. Run and flow!… Expand

    One of the greatest sequels ever made. Up there with Assassins Creed 2 as far as a sequel that builds, and completely improves upon the original in almost every single way but not only that, it's easily one of the best games on PS4 in its own right.

    Parkour has never been so much fun. Well, in a video game I mean, I don't do it IRL. The gameplay is just awesome, much more intuitive and    One of the greatest sequels ever made.

    Parkour has never been so much fun. Well, in a video game I mean, I don't do it IRL. The gameplay is just awesome, much more intuitive and smooth than the first one, and the missions as well are much more varied and interesting. There's also a ridiculous amount of things to do in the city in addition to user created content.

    I was skeptical about the open world setting, linear games are typically better, more focused, and I seriously loved the first Mirror's Edge but bottom line, this is where Mirror's edge belongs. The world they have crafted is just too perfect to lock it down to linear missions. And I always did kind of have that feeling in the first one.

    It always bums me out when a video game gives you an amazing city skyline but doesn't really let you explore any of it. That is not the case with this one. You get to explore most of the highlights of this amazing city. One of which is the new "Shard" which looks like it's at least 1 mile tall if not 2 (so cool).

    the graphics are great for the most part. 900p is a big drawback though. Like most 900p games it always looks fuzzy and frankly subpar. Otherwise the game is gorgeous and features an amazing art style, excellent lighting, nice reflections, and surprisingly great character models and facial animations. Sometimes there are some subpar decals/textures though (the ALLCOM logos next to many of the circuit boxes)

    The story is another big surprise. It does somewhat retread some elements of the first game (it is based on the same basic plot ideas after all, it's mirror's edge) but otherwise it was much better than I expected and infinitely better than the first game. I didn't mind the story in the first game but it was at times way too cheesey. This on the other hand was much more mature and well written in addition to being less predictable but I won't go into spoilers.

    Overall, this is a perfect sequel, it is everything I hoped it would be, and for that I'm giving it a perfect score.

    And seriously F%^& all the idiotic haters. It's the first game all over again with these idiotic reviews and moronic gamers. People always want something unique and innovative until they actually get it. You all can burn in hell.

    As a fan of the original Mirror's Edge, Catalyst is just what I wanted. Not to say there aren't faults, because many of the faults from the original carry over to Catalyst. Some things are improved, such as combat and story, but are still not great.

Most    As a fan of the original Mirror's Edge, Catalyst is just what I wanted. Not to say there aren't faults, because many of the faults from the original carry over to Catalyst. Some things are improved, such as combat and story, but are still not great.

    The combat thankfully removes the option to pick up weapons, and instead forces you to use melee and your momentum to fend off others. Most of the time, this works as intended, and it feels great pulling off moves, eliminating enemies, then continuing to run without losing your momentum. At some points, this doesn't work as well though. For some odd reason, once or twice the game forces you to stay in an arena type space and eliminate enemies. This makes you stop momentum and have to clunkily fight enemies and sometimes running away for cover while you regain your health back. These parts aren't horrible, but they go against what the point of Mirror's Edge is, which is to keep your momentum and keep on running. These moments are few and far between, but they make me wonder why DICE would even put these in the game.

    The story, while not amazing, improves upon the original with a few memorable characters and events. I won't spoil anything, but the plot isn't completely predictable, and while I think the plot could've been on a bit of larger scale, it was still enjoyable and didn't make the experience any worse. If you really don't care about the story, luckily you can skip all cut-scenes if you wish. Again, no spoilers, but the ending was a bit anti-climatic and made me hope for some DLC of some sort finishing up some unfinished subplots.

    At first, I thought the open world was a bad idea. It has a lot of space, but much of it is fluff, and it could've lended itself to less than spectacular level design. As I played through the main story, I figured out that this wasn't really the case. DICE still implements great level design, while allowing more space to explore the city. The user created races make sure this expansive city doesn't go to waste either. Anyone can create their own race, and challenge friends or randoms to beat their time. My only real problem with the open world is that it feels empty. There are random people standing on rooftops that will wait literally forever for you to complete their task, but other than that there really aren't many other people. Most buildings you explore are also empty and don't really show what their purpose is other than to look like an extremely modern, empty Ikea. While this obviously doesn't impact gameplay, it just shows the downfalls of the open world.

    While story missions are not timed, mostly everything else is: side missions, dashes, user created races, etc. Most of these you will have to replay many times to really get the hang of them and find the fastest route. This is what the original was all about, and this game stays true to that. In many ways this game feels closer to a racing game than anything else. Playing a track over and over just in an attempt to beat your friends, get higher on the leaderboard, or earn all three stars. And there is basically an infinite amount of this to do because of the open world and user created races.

    The parkour mechanics are only improved from the original. Everything feels smoother(partially because of the jump from 30 to 60fps), and extra moves have been added to allow you to always keep moving, and fast. Gadgets such as the magrope fit perfectly with Mirror's Edge and allow you to better traverse the city without it being overused. The default controls are mostly the same as the original with a few extras because of the new movements and fighting skills. There is also an alternate control scheme if you want to stay more in line with modern first person shooters, although I generally would discourage this control scheme as it can make the game a bit more difficult. The newly added skill tree was never really a problem for me. Much of it is unlocked at the very start, and the few moves from the origninal game that aren't can be unlocked very quickly. You just have to remember that if you want to be breaking any world records for dashes, you need to have nearly all movement skills unlocked.

    I also encountered some slight techinical problems on the PS4. Throughout the 15 hours or so I have put into the game, it has crashed once. On PS4 there are also times where there will be noticeable pop-ins that can take you out of the game a bit.The frame rate will also drop a bit at times, but it only drops enough to be noticeable, not to ruin your gameplay.

    Overall, if you are a fan of the original, I definitely think Catalyst is worth buying at $60. If you thought the first had potential, but didn't love it, I would probably wait for Catalyst to drop $20 or $30. If you hated the first, you will probably still hate this one. Catalyst is more of the same with many small improvements, but as a fan of the original, that's just what I wanted.    … Expand

    Just amazing! Good story, characters, exploring, collecting, platforming, gameplay and design! DICE really stepped up from the last game! There is also some old school platforming goodness in this game. I really hope that they get to make a second (third) game! That would be awesome!

    I think, it's exactly what the fans waited for in the last 8 years. Who likes moving in an open world and can dispense with a long epic story and a huge amount of side quests will absorb this game in every way and will have lots of fun with it.

    Presentation of the story and characters is nothing special, but still a huge step up from the original's esurance ad cutscenes.

    City looks to be packed with junk to find, jobs to complete and lil glowy orbs to collect. Not ordinarily a fan of collectibles, but as a means to engage the creative routes through the city, they work.

    Looks like the overall experience of this game will be seeing the whole city, going everywhere and doing everything, rather than perfecting the route through the small levels of the original. So quantity over concise quality. But hey, more Mirror's Edge is all I ever wanted!    … Expand

    Having been a fan of the first Mirrors Edge back when I was a kid in 2008 (a game I’ve also replayed over and over as of recently), as an adult I was happy to hear that a new game was being made.

Movement feels more fluid, combat is less bothersome, and there's a bunch of activities that make you    Having been a fan of the first Mirrors Edge back when I was a kid in 2008 (a game I’ve also replayed over and over as of recently), as an adult I was happy to hear that a new game was being made.

    Mirrors Edge Catalyst took what made the first game so great, and truly improved upon it. Movement feels more fluid, combat is less bothersome, and there's a bunch of activities that make you feel what the first installment lacked. Actually performing the tasks of a runner.

    When Mirrors Edge Catalyst revealed that it would have character upgrades, I was a little worried, but that worry was soon lifted as I was quick to find all the basic movements from the first game were very easy to unlock within the first 40 minutes of gameplay (opening tutorial and a short mission or two). The open world aspect is something that I had originally really wanted the first game to have. I dreaded the linear paths of the first game, and felt like I was having to follow predefined markings even after figuring out the most optimal routes. In Mirrors Edge Catalyst I’m able to run as I want, where I want, and make up my own paths as I please. The addition of grappling across far away rooftops and scaling insanely tall platforms fits well with the pre-existing game mechanics too.

    The combat in Mirrors Edge Catalyst is a very bold change from the original. The combat in the original Mirrors Edge generally infuriated me, and just felt out of place. Hand to hand combat was nearly impossible, and picking up guns made it feel like a whole other game than it was intended. When I could, I would simply run circles around the enemies while waiting for an elevator to arrive.
    In Mirrors Edge catalyst the combat is streamlined to fit Faiths fast paced nature. Ziplining and springboarding into enemies and following up with a wall run attack is very satisfying. When you’re fighting enemies with no momentum however, things get a little tougher. Enemies become less forgiving, and you’re less likely to be able to take them all out unless you can coordinate your attacks. It really encourages you to combine parkour skills with your environment to make your attacks more effective. Having a fully body whack an enemy in the face is more effective than simply punching and kicking them in a still position (and makes you feel like a badass).

    Mirrors Edge Catalyst also managed to make me feel what I didn’t get to in the original. Actually participating in the tasks of of runner. You can do different sorts of deliveries, and they all have time constraints forcing you to move as optimally as you can. One missed skill roll, or mistake generally results in failing to complete the delivery as it hurts your time. While this could be infuriating for people less in tune with the game's mechanics, I enjoyed the diehard challenge often spending a good 10 - 20 minutes trying to successfully complete the deliveries. Each time making subtle changes to my route and actions to shave off time. When finally completing the deliveries there's a huge rush of relief and accomplishment. I also get a similar feeling with the user generated time trials in Mirrors Edge Catalyst, except when you complete a time trial, your time is posted and compared against other people who have done the same time trial, and you’re then encouraged to improve your time in order to get as close to the top of the leaderboards as possible (I personally can't resist trying to get to the top of them).

    I’ll briefly talk about the story, but, its not the reason I purchased this game (the first game set my barriers quite low for the story). I consider it a massive improvement over the original Mirrors Edge. I found I cared more about the characters I interacted with, and theres also some funny comic relief. I felt like there were many more emotions that were conveyed than the original story wise, and I commend DICE for improving the game in that department. You learn different story bits through both the main story line as well as scavenging around the map and uncovering recordings. With that said, don’t expect an award winning story. Its not a bad story, and its a MASSIVE improvement over the original. However, if you’re only looking at only getting the game for the story, and not the gameplay itself, there's other games you might enjoy more.

    To end things off, Mirrors Edge Catalyst is an improvement over every facet of the original. Is it perfect? No. The original wasn’t either. But even after finishing the story of the game there's still tons of stuff to do. As the months and years go by, expect there to be a ton of user generated content to continue playing. If you were a fan of the game mechanics of the first game, but found the amount of stuff to do afterwards a very underwhelming, this game is for you. If you’ve never played a Mirrors Edge game before, this game might be hit or miss. If you don't enjoy this as your first game going into the series, chances are you won't even like the original.    … Expand

So yeah if you're not into these then the game may be a bit empty. First time when i played through the levels I thought they were long and super interesting but playing them the second and third time they are actually very short and quite simple (but that's just the first time charm i guess) so the levels aren't really something to buy for either. But the thing that I like the most is the open-world map. It actually is larger than I expected (I did have a bit low standards in the beginning, but still it's quite huge) and very detailed. The different districts are visually very different and gameplay vise every place feels unique! (I mean the places are build around running, jumping, sliding, wallrunning and using the grappling hook with some mixes of them all and still none of the places feel repetitive). Also in my opinion the parkour is even better in this game than the first one. I'm surprised that some people may say that "you just end up going back and forth the same routes" because in my opinion that's completely wrong. I mean there is a lot of places where you keep going back and fourth like bridges and the main hub but everything else is very open and free to explore. The rooftops do have so many different ways to go, some quicker than other. (Like still today I even find new collectables in small ways and places I've never visited or went through.) Also about the races and other missions(/different skinned races) are very strict and I love that! Of course it doesn't make sense when the delivery is ruined when you're five fricking centimeters away from the guy but that hard difficulty is something I want from a game. So all in all I understand if you think the games seems boring but for me, I love playing my own music (or listening to the great soundtrack) and just running around the rooftops. (Oh yeah I mean the story is not like that great but I think we've all got used to that from big AAA-games)… Expand

As much as I like this game, it does have a few issues. Even though the combat in the original game was most peoples major complaint they bafflingly decided to keep it in the sequel. Do developers listen to the fans at all? You don't have to fight all the time, but there are sections where they lock you in with come enemies, and you have to fight your way out. I will say that the combat is improved over the original, but it is still first person melee combat, and it's very hard to get this type of combat right. It can be disorienting when you are fighting multiple enemies, some with guns, and you are dodging in circles trying to avoid being hit. Once you get the hang of it, it's manageable, and I didn't die to combat too many times during my playthrough. All in all, Mirrors Edge Catalyst is a very good game with one glaring flaw, but if you want to play a game that is truly original, I recommend checking it out! It can be had for not a lot of money, and is definitely worth the price of admission.… Expand

    I can agree that the combat is kinda bad (it’s ok for me) but it should have been some guns Faith can use, cause honestly sometimes I failed with the fighting when it was too many, but it wasn’t extremely bad where I thought to myself that just can’t play anymore. And I can also agree that there was kind of repetitive missions but they were all fun tho so it didn’t really bother me.. though I think the story should have been longer, but the ending gave me the feeling that there is gonna be a Mirrors edge 3, because Faith didn’t successfully finish her job and what she wanted to achieve.. but I think that would be a great story for ME3, and it would be cool if they made it more cyberpunk, more interactions with people, and online where you can meet other friends at skyscrapers, that would be so cool! And I just hope there is gonna be a new one where EA and Dice listen to every critique and what the fans want, because I think that it would sell better now that it have been so many years since Catalyst! Though some gamers are really picky with their games and really judgemental. I have to say tho that it was emotional and the story line was really good, sad that Noah died.. but I loved Faith’s character, cause she’s a rebel kind of girl who wants to stop this “Dictator” type of man and government to free people to make their own choices.

    Solid game! Much improved mechanics over the first game and maintains all the other aspects that made the first Mirror's Edge great. I highly recommend this game on PS4!

    While there’s nothing else out there that can deliver the thrill of racing across this vast city and scaling massive buildings using insane parkour techniques, the sense of wonder isn’t as strong as before. Catalyst is held back by a horrendous combat system and a lackluster story that takes itself too seriously. If you can get past its flaws, you’ll find Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is still a modest platformer.

    Catalyst is an example of how bigger doesn't always have to mean better. Some games don't benefit from becoming an open world adventure and should stick to what worked well, even amazing in the original. Catalyst unfortunately, traded quality for quantity.

    The game's huge assortment of side missions and time trials, along with Gridnode runs, represent its most appealing offerings as you hone your route and - for the most part - focus on nothing but running. [Issue#296, p.108]
