HG: "I’m a massive fan of the first Mirror’s Edge, but even I have to admit that that game was rough around the edges. It was groundbreaking for sure — one of the first games to try to shake up first-person movement in a big way — but it was also inconsistent. [...] Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is aiming to fix those problems in a big way."
Kaan writes: "Mirror's Edge will likely never get a third try. The second game does not look like a cheap effort. By all accounts it is beautiful, especially with its FPS Boost enhancements. The city glows at nights and shines in the day. Lights will reflect off of Catalyst’s many structures made of glass. It’s spectacular to run through. But such a lavish production often comes with risk aversion and sadly Catalyst crumbles under this pressure. It’s held back by the pressure to conform, rather than trying to be genuinely different."
The parkour was great. It was just the story and characters didn't get interesting until the final moments and then it was to late.
Digital Foundry: Microsoft's FPS Boost support expands again, this time with 120Hz upgrades for 12 games and a 60fps boost for one! We decided to check out the improvement to some of our favourite games in the line-up, including the three Battlefield games that are supported, Titanfall and Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Which consoles support which games, what's the performance really like and are there resolution compromises?
Microsoft is killing it. Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version. Which means, less games getting upgrades on Sony’s offering.

Electronic Arts has just released twelve games on Valve's distribution service, Steam.

First one was a breath of fresh air with solid gameplay.
With Dead Space Mirror's Edge almost happening at the same time EA was on a roll with great new IPs.
The original splits opinion between myself and some friends, I tried it when t was in the £5 bargain bin and didn't care to much for it but a friend of mine swears by it and went on to Platinum it (needless to say he is stoked for this new one, me less so).
