The combat is bad, there are many times where you can get lost while traveling through the levels, the story feels like it had a lot of cuts, leaving major loose ends unresolved even by the end, and what the story itself is trying to tell nothing to write home about.

And yet, when everything works—when you're jumping through these perfectly clean rooftops while avoiding gunfire and admiring the color palette of the city—there's no game quite like it. Since this game released there may be better alternatives in regards to the parkour, maybe with all the problems I listed at the beginning solved, but there's no game that feels so liberating to play, yet so soothing to just stop and contemplate the world around you, while listening to the OST that fits the atmosphere perfectly.
There's only one series that can make me feel what i felt playing Mirror's Edge, which is... Mirror's Edge. Just for the experience it's already worth playing, because there's nothing quite like it.
