One of the people you’ll meet is Plastic and she’s probably the best of the bunch, bringing something more than a brooding glance or a vengeful retort to what’s going on. Icarus is oblivious to his own annoying traits, Kruger is a terribly bland villain, and even Faith falls short of being a good main protagonist. Most of the characters you encounter are severely two-dimensional and completely uninteresting. It does its best to squeeze every trope of the sci-fi sponge dry, often getting in the way of what makes Catalyst great, ending with a relatively underwhelming finale. I’m not going to sugar coat it, the story is pretty bad. You play as Faith, a woman trying to bring down the evils of corporate greed as well as unlocking the secrets of her own past. Big white buildings with company branding strewn across and large billboards doing their best to promote the good we are led to believe exists within the conglomerate.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst may not have the best story or the most likeable characters, but its gameplay is some of the best I’ve seen on the current gen.

DICE has nailed parkour and the freedom it brings with utter precision, making sure you move about the city at great pace whilst still having full control of your actions. I move through the city of Glass with unabashed grace my heart races as I speed across the skyline of Cascadia and absorb the wonder of chaos in every step I take.
