Mirrors Edge Catalyst Beta Review

Mirrors Edge Catalyst Beta

Mirrors Edge Catalyst is the Reboot of the popular "Mirrors Edge" which was released in 2008. Even 8 years later the game still brings that same Parkour feeling no other game can. And i Love it! Game will release on PC , PS4 And Xbox One.

Campaign
I have only played a little bit of the Campaign since that's all the Beta offers. But so what from what i have played it seems Solid. This Isn't a sequel or a prequel to the first game. It is a whole new Rebooted story. Faith is back and we are put into gameplay with her straight after she is releases from Prison. And will continue as she goes to battle with Gabriel Kruger After she steals some very Important stuff.


GAMEPLAY
The first Mirrors Edge Controlled pretty well in my Opinion and This game just Improves it a lot more and its SO SMOOTH! The mix of old Gameplay mechanics and new ones goes really well. stuff like Combat rolling and coiling up in the air when you jump are still here But only through skills. 

Combat in this game is Heavily changed over the first one. Unlike the first one you cannot pick up any weapons and only rely on Faiths hands And skills. The removal of guns doesn't really matter though as your hands and legs are powerful enough. Mix this in with The new Movement system and you have a pretty new solid Combat system. While running you have the option to just push enemies out of the way or land on them after a big jump To make sure you are always in motion and not Stopping and losing that momentum.


EXTRA STUFF
The game seems to offer a lot to do. Even in the beta you have plenty too do. Ranging from doing time trials to Delivery Missions. These can be really fun at times especially when you wanna change up the tone from just running around. You can also create your own time trials and upload them for others to play.

In my opinion just from the beta this game gets at least a 8.4 Jump of faiths out of 10.

Mirrors Edge Catalyst Will Release fully on June 7th  for US and June 9th for Europe.
