“[b]The most Parkour Game of all Parkour Games![/b] Fast and fun parkour gameplay, with some other stuff. Simple but cool visual style that helps you know where to go.”
“mirror’s edge is kinda one of those games that just does its own thing and doesn’t really care if you’re into it or not. the movement feels really smooth once you get used to it, like you’re actually flowing through the…”
“Mirror's Edge, A gaming classic from 2008. Looks timeless even in 2025, reminiscent of old valve style games truly a banger. Easy to follow story & Frutiger Aero style visuals. Super white- almost neon style level…”

“Very entertaining. The parkour is very nice and the aesthetic is precious. The frutiger aero vibes are marvellous. The only downside I can think of is that sometimes some jumps aren't counted, but aside from that I…”
“The game looks pretty good for it's age. I really like the use of color when it comes to aesthetic and game design. The minimal UI is also a nice touch. Solving all the spacial puzzles, that this game mainly consists…”

“Almost 20 years old as of writing and I still love this game. I have it on disk and a few years ago bought it through steam again. It is the right amount of game. I just replayed it and the only thing i forgot about was…”
“So, just finished the game... Where to start ? The game has a really great artstyle, very good level design (even tho i got lost a few times, probably skill issue) The music is really good, i've played in french, it was…”

“Don't let my low playtime deceive you. Along with Portal 1 and 2, this is one of those games that I've lost count of how many times I've played through it over the last decade or so on both the Xbox 360 and the PC. A…”
“I have so much nostalgia for this game, it is so fun and is a good way to unwind. Though the game is relatively short, the story is interesting and the mechanics are fun. I come back to this game every year and enjoy…”

I don't understand why they didn't do a sequel or even a Prequel, but the story is crap.
