I had a lot of fun playing this game. I think that's enough to justify my rating.

Played this little gem years ago, and I only have fond memories of it. A solid gameplay loop, bolstered by a surprisingly excellent story, well told and executed. An absolute hidden gem. Play this game.

Flawed but great. This was the best parkour game out there, hands down (surpassed now by Mirror's Edge Catalyst). Despite having a terrible story, movement is fluid and the city is gorgeous. If you like parkour games, definitely try Mirror's Edge.
No other game in the world provides an experience like the Mirror's Edge games do. The parkour gameplay is absolutely top notch, and no other game comes close. I was happy to see that the mechanics from Mirror's Edge 2009 were refined and perfected in Catalyst; running around the City of Glass is an immensely satisfying experience. However, I am disappointed in the story this game provides. The biggest issue with Mirror's Edge 2009 was its story. I was hoping that they would try and give us a good story campaign this time around, but alas.
P.S. Playing with a mouse & keyboard provides a vastly better experience in my opinion.

It's a pretty fun game. The story is definitely the weakest point of this game, but it is held up by good gameplay and exploration. Combat is fine, and traversal is surprisingly engaging. Hunting down collectibles is pretty satisfying too. 3.5/5, this game is a slightly worse Uncharted.
This is a level of excellence every game should strive for. The mark of a good game to me is always its story, and Uncharted 4 blows most of the competition out of the water.

This is one of those rare games that makes you feel all warm as you bask in the glow of its brilliance. It's an inexplicable feeling of comfort I get whenever I boot up this game, like it's home.
