    Mirror’s Edge Catalyst feels better in many aspects and delivers much more content than its predecessor. It still has some issues like the combat system or frustrating climbing areas, but it is still an impressive argument for its unique and fresh concept.

    Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a solid reboot of the original game, with improved mechanics and a rich sandbox.

    Catalyst is not a flawless reboot, but it remains a very deep experience, filled with well-designed quests and interesting secondary activities; most of all, the game takes advantage of the environment in a clever way, making it strongly interactive for the players.

    Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is an exceptional sandbox. There’s nothing in the entire medium that feels quite as unique as being able to sprint, duck, and dive towards the horizon, making the most of the many varied paths on offer in this superbly sculpted playground. But when the game tries to be more than that, it begins to fall apart. Catalyst is certainly a step forward for Mirror’s Edge, but not the leap that it could be. If this is the return of Faith on a regular basis though, DICE have created the foundations for a very strong sequel indeed.

    DICE might have done its best to hide a quality game, but it’s still there beneath the piles of filler.

    The impression that Mirror's Edge Catalyst leaves is like a person with bones full of calcium, covered with weak flesh. A better implementation of story, characters, mission design and combat system should be the first priorities on a future sequel.

    Catalyst is a triumph of form over substance. At first the city looks huge, shiny and perfect but soon turns out to be just a lifeless, empty mockup, where you distinguish the districts mainly by background colors. The character development system feels artificial and redundant. The story and characters are so shallow and badly presented that I quickly lost any interest in them and focused on what the game does quite well – on parkour. [08/2016, p.60]

The feeling you get when you're in that loop of running, jumping, and noticing the next obstacle, and keeping up that momentum, is like nothing else. I would recommend that you only use the hints if you get stuck, because exploring and finding your way is half the fun. The devs have fixed the combat as well, and ties combat with your movement. The graphics are gorgeous and the game ran smoothly. The game is quite forgiving if you fall and the load times aren't that bad, which encourages exploration and makes some of the trial-and-error parts not too painful.

    Cons: I wish the city was a little more populated, and the NPC AIs are a bit unrealistic and lifeless. There was too much back tracking at first, but later on you can skip around to different bases.

    Boy, i do hope there's another sequel. Maybe in another 8 years?    … Expand

El mundo abierto es una mala idea para este tipo de juego, se nota repetitivo, la ciudad no tiene detalles y se ve como un juego viejo. Poco trabajo en cuanto a la dirección artistica. En el primer Mirro's edge de 2009 se cuidaba los detalles hasta la distancia de dibujado era muy buena a pesar de ser juego de anterior generación. Encerio los edificios se ven borrosos y malas texturas en Catalyst y las misiones secundarias hacen perder el hilo a la historia y no se sabe de que va realmente. Este juego lo jugé con el Game pass y luego de 2 horas me aburrí.… Expand

    If I was looking for a game that has little or no story and just run run run,I could just play Mario.
