Fast forward eight years into the future and it still seems unbelievable that another Mirror’s Edge game is hitting the market. A clear labor of love from the folks at DICE, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is largely superior to its predecessor in every way. While it doesn’t have all the makings of a modern masterpiece, Catalyst includes a number of smart design choices ranging from the inclusion of a full open world to a combat system that’s actually functional. This isn’t going to be a game that will be vying for Game of the Year awards come December, but it’s a solid offering that is worth the price of admission.
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.
Man this is great news ... I mean as far as I'm concerned it could be deemed terrible and I still be hyped as hell and probably love it but it's brilliant people are liking it so far!
