A Critique of Mirror's Edge: https://youtu.be/2rMPx9rNTtI

Mirror’s Edge is a series I don’t hear many people talking about these days. I mean, sure, it certainly has it’s cult following, a cult of which I am a part of but when telling some friends that I was making videos on both the first Mirrors Edge and Mirror's Edge Catalyst I was met with the response of “What’s that?”. Now I am by no means trying to say that I am uncovering a dusty classic or something because in the grand scheme of things this game is not very old however it’s important to remember that EA’s expectations for games were very skewed given that they publish a lot of the most popular sports games. They likely wanted Catalyst to be a major player in the next generation.

Furthermore, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, the first entry in what I think is a planned reboot series, is just something fans don’t really talk about as much and I think it’s for good reason. There are some decisions that people will either like or not like about this game and I think the biggest factor in what they like is... Perspective.

Now, I think perspective is something important to consider when trying to evaluate Mirror's Edge Catalyst. This is because I believe that someone's expectations for a game are directly tied to their perspective of the product going into it and I want to clarify that expectations and perspective are not the same as being biased. I was biased towards this game from the get go because I love games with solid movement systems and further because I loved the first Mirror's Edge. But my expectations for Mirror's Edge Catalyst were heavily influenced by the marketing and I think that is why I was generally pleased with the experience.

Thank you for watching this Mirror's Edge Catalyst Review. In this Critique of Mirror's Edge Catalyst we will be looking at Mirror's Edge Catalyst 5 Years Later. This Mirror's Edge Catalyst Analysis was created by That Boy Aqua. Mirror's Edge Catalyst Years Later is still amazing and offers a sense of rebellion that no other game does. Hence why I named the video Mirror's Edge Catalyst and The Art of Rebellion. I hope that we can get a New Mirror's Edge or even a Mirror's Edge 2 where they scrap the catalyst line and create a faithful Mirror's Edge Sequel. Hopefully the next game won't force the player to buy Mirror's Edge Exordium or watch any Mirror's Edge Exordium review or summary to understand the plot. If you like this video you can watch my Mirror's Edge Analysis which is also a Mirror's Edge Critique. If you are looking for the Mirror's Edge Catalyst Story Explained or a Mirror's Edge Catalyst Guide or even to find out What Happened to Mirrors Edge, you have come to the right place. This is the art of rebellion.
