WHAT IS IT?
The story focuses on Faith Connors and her struggle against the Conglomerate, a future corp symbol of oppression. Faith is a runner. Runners use a mix of martial arts and parkour to act as couriers and thieves on the rooftops in the city of Glass. This future is a sterile one. The average person is called an employ, and forced in corporate slavery. Resistance means imprisonment. Faith dares to carry on in her parents footsteps and rage against the establishment.
WHAT WORKED?
This game was done using the Frostbite engine and the level of detail was apparent in the cut scenes. I enjoyed the story of Faith, and the minimalist style of the city. Running was smooth, and acrobatics felt tight. Combat was very satisfying too.
WHAT DIDN'T WORK?
Combat was satisfying but clunky. I often had issues. Also, the camera would at times cause me to fall to my death. Cut scenes were beautiful but the graphics were noticeably worse in actual game play.
RECOMMEND?
Yes, I would recommend it! It was a lot of fun. If you are at all a fan of the original it’s a no-brainer. In fact almost anyone that is a fan of first person and/or sci-fi could enjoy the story and elements found here in Mirror's Edge!
