Episode 28: Mirror's Edge Catalyst - Dice's Second Swing at Free Running Glory
Manage episode 332227182 series 3284880
One of the most hated games we've covered up to this point was the original Mirror's Edge from 2008. Its combat was clunky and poorly tuned, its story was borderline nonexistent, and the parkour that was the basis for the game was unsatisfying and lacked momentum. Great news, though: there's a sequel.
Here in episode 28 we are covering it. We discuss what made the original game so weak and how Mirror's Edge Catalyst improved or regressed from that original formula. There is a lot of ground to cover here. Combat, parkour, characters, story, and maddeningly clique tropes. All of these things fit tightly together in another compact Mirror's Edge experience, though the sequel is significantly expanded over its predecessor.
How does this game stack up? Is it better than the lackluster abomination of the first game? What lessons did Dice learn from their previous outing? Is Catalyst truly as generic and by the numbers as many reviews would have you believe? We discuss these questions and many more in this episode.
