What Should I Play Now?

Mirror's Edge™

Image: Steam / DICE

  • Parkour
  • First person
  • Action

First-person parkour across the rooftops of a city under surveillance: you're Faith, a courier who runs along walls and leaps between buildings to clear her sister's name. Objects that help you along the route turn red.

Why play it now

When you fancy a short, intense campaign: according to Gaming Nexus, it takes anywhere from a few hours to eight.

Who it's for

For anyone after a first-person sense of speed who doesn't mind repeating a jump until they nail it.

When not to pick it

If you hate trial and error: reviews criticise its weak fights and its very thin story.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 60 out of 100
  • Story: 40 out of 100
  • Thinking: 35 out of 100
  • Competing: 30 out of 100
