Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Compared to the 2008 Mirror's Edge, the gameplay is much improved, including the combat, though it's still fairly simplistic.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics is beautiful and you can hit high fps do not misunderstand me, but you might need to do quite a search on the internet to make the game run well (like, to be playable at all).
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack in Mirror's Edge Catalyst remains just as adrenaline-pumping and action-based as the original game, though I am a little sad we didn't really get a "Still Alive" moment for this game.
