@[email protected] Mirror's Edge is one of the few games from the 2000s that I think has aged flawlessly. The controls, art-style and overall atmosphere is just timeless. Mirror's Edge was also one of the first games I played on a computer. I played it on my dad's old laptop; it ran like garbage but I still had a ton of fun playing it because it felt like a parkour sandbox.
@[email protected] I want a stealth game that plays like this one; that'd be killer.

I remember the hype around this game.
It didn't last, but it was not overdone, the game was genuinely good.
@[email protected] such a great game!

  I've tried to get into the sequel on several occasions, but somehow it feels like it misses that spark that made the original so incredible...
  
  Then again, I wouldn't even know how to even start to attempt to replicate it.
  
  @[email protected] is that Catalyst? I never played it. One of the reasons the first game was so good is that the story was written by Rihanna Pratchett.
  
  It’s difficult replicating that “lightning in a bottle” effect on a truly unique game like this.
