The second episode of a successful video game is a selection that nearly every video game company will choose because it doesn't require innovations but improvements - from simply upgrading the game's graphic performance, to completely upgrading gameplay by turning 2D to 3D. Turning linear into the open world, and adding scripts to the previous episode. Except for the graphic upgrade, every other upgrade might have negative consequences.

The Mirror's Edge Catalyst adds many features and dialog compared to the previous episode, and the last level is pretty impressive. But unfortunately, Mirror's Edge Catalyst made this classic mistake, most new features of this game broke the core advantages of Mirror's Edge. For instance, if you want to add a new feature to broaden the game experience, I think the sling might be the last feature you should add to Mirror's Edge. Adding a sling in Mirror's Edge is nearly the same as adding a machine gun in Elder Ring. It destroys the sense of achievement of reaching the destination through bare feet.

And, the dialog of the second episode also adds negative effects on this game because it is like the plot that a child came up with. Moreover, the open world feels like a lie, it creates an illusion that you can freely walk into every corner of this futuristic city, and you can roam around the buildings, streets, and subways. In reality, you are limited to navigating only the tops of buildings within a small area.

Overall it is a disappointing game for a Mirror's Edge fan...

Shut down the servers for a game whose servers are most certainly not expensive what-so-ever, especially for a multi-billion dollar international company such as EA. The game's sales probably pay for the server expenses and leave some profit to the side. Besides, this game isn't even a whole decade old yet. Ridiculous.

EA Blows™

dead game lmao
