“Game is good in itself but EA has completely abandoned it, to get past the first cutscene you need to have the EA app in offline mode, otherwise you get stuck in endless loading screen. Servers are also down which is…”

“A pleasant experience in 2026, decently optimized, generally overhated if you're only planning to run through the story and a little bit of grinding, but i do think that going for full clear is going to scar you, but in…”

“Visuals so good. Music so good. Time missions are kinda rushed and not very fun but just running in this city is A BLAST. You will rarely find a game prettier than this one.”
“Very good game. Play it for the fluid movement, visual style, music, and atmosphere”

“not as good as the original. it took the grunge era passion and just corpofied it. story sucks, fighting sucks, progression sucks, more bugs. this isn't a sequel. this is a ♥♥♥♥-boot.”

“The game just doesn't launch. After multiple tries and researching it just seems to be an issue with the launcher. Thanks EA!”
“terrible.. if you know your gonna shut servers down and your game has a singleplayer mode DONT TIE IT TO THE SERVERS it keeps crashing, i guess if i wanna play this i gotta find it on ps4 or something.”
“Servers are down. EA app does not let you play even offline. Do not purchase it unless you want to enjoy infinite loading screen. EA = OE SOB”

— a player, Steam review · 35 hrs played“I love the original Mirror's Edge. I bought it for full price at release, gifted it to others, and I've even repurchased it for other platforms during my console pleb phase of the 2010s. Over the past fifteen years I've replayed it at semi-regular intervals and I've pretty much…”
— a player, Steam review · 18 hrs played“This game was incredible. I loved every second of it. That being said, EA is so busy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ into their own mouths that they can't be bothered to keep their best games functional. It no longer works, just hangs while trying to load, and now I have yet another reason to hate EA…”
