Mirror's Edge

This is a 1st person platformer game.

I thought this was a pretty bad idea as the 1st person camera is used mostly for action games or slow paced adventures. When I played I understood the decision, it is made to give the player the runner feeling: hearing the fast-breathing while sprinting, the wind on the ears, even the jump feeling is well made. I love the result.

It plays based on parkour which involves a lot of running, jumping, climbing, different paths... like any platformer. It also have some combat scenes, thankfully most of them are optional as there's always another way to solve the situation. Maybe one of the flaws I found are the forced combat situations which aren't very fun and a few parts with imprecise platforming that I had to repeat over and over.

The game is very short, which is bad because there isn't much else to do. Story is entertaining enough, I don't use to care much about it on these games. It looks pretty unique too, with lots of bright and white tones combined with strong colors. Music has cool tunes too.

Did I like it? Yes!
