3/5 ★ – finian's review of Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

sorry gang but i think this is better than the original. the parkour is a little more forgiving and i had more confidence in my moveset compared to the first, not to mention this game is literally miles ahead of its predecessor in terms of combat. i agree with the sentiment that the story and characters aren’t great but even THEY are better than the first game, which has a literal nothing story and nothing characters. the open world lends itself better to the movement as well, there’s just more player agency in this game. weird that they retconned everything but whatever.
