A short, but solid game.
While playing the first Assassin’s Creed back in the day, I thought that it would be cool if a similar game could be made, but from a first person perspective. Mobility in games is usually an aftertho… Read more

The best bad good game ever.

Mirror's Edge
The story can best be described as "We are trying really hard to be edgy" even to the point where the make a point of using the title as some kind of pun. Regardless, it's a first person freerunning g… Read more
A True Diamond in The Rough.
The game developer DICE really surprised us back in early 2008 where a little game called Mirror's Edge was released footage of. What surprised us at the time wasn't perhaps the unique art style and s… Read more
Sadly, too underated.

You may not like it. I love it.
Stylized awesomeness. One of my personal favorites, Mirror's Edge is a free running game played in the FPS perspective. One thing that will catch your eye is the art style. It's mesmerizing to say the… Read more
The Next 'Leap' In Gaming?
Mirror's Edge is a hard game to review. Part of me absolutely loves it and another part really doesn’t. It’s part exhilarating roller coaster and part frustrating, sloppy mess. Set in the near future,… Read more
Lacklustre ending spoils what is a beautiful, original game.
This review is spoiler free. I've put off playing Mirror's Edge for a couple of years now, mostly because of the mediocre reception it received. When it appeared in the Steam sale for only £3 I though… Read more
Fresh But Not Flawless
A slightly unconventional protagonist. Mirror’s Edge is a 2008 first-person platforming game from DICE. It’s rather surprising that DICE made a platformer, let alone a first-person platformer, but her… Read more

Mirror's Edge: Nothing if not original
I'm going to say this right off the bat: you probably haven't played a game quite like Mirror's Edge before. The premise is simple enough: you are a "runner", pretty much a parkour infused courier del… Read more
'More Frustrating then Exhilarating'
DICE is mainly known for the popular multiplayer 1st person shooters, the Battlefield series. So it comes as a surprise that they had decided to make Mirror’s Edge; a free-running/parkour game all wit… Read more

Late Bird Review: Mirror's Edge
Much like the game, this review should be on the short side. The game brings something new to the table: first-person free-running. But is that enough to carry this game into a worthy sequel? Taking a… Read more

Nice to look at, not so much to play.

Mirror's Edge has great platforming, but other elements fall flat

Has moments of pure genius but boils down to trail and error

Have parkour - will run

One of them games you'll always remember.

An ambitious leap, cut short by too many dudes with guns.
