@@PARIZEN I recently played this game again on my Xbox One S (I originally played it on PS3 over like 9 years ago), and I barely had trouble with that part, it must've been a forgotten part of my psyche remembering exactly how to get past that XDD

[@WhiteRaven43]

(Spoilers) This song plays at the start of the final mission in the game, The Shard. As you start out, you're in a maintenance area near an entrance of the building. This song and the area you start in during this level come together to make art. Every other mission start has you in a much bigger area, high up, overlooking the city. Here you start out surrounded by walls and pipes. Here, Merc has just died. Usually you hear him directing you at the start, but there's no voice over your comm. There's a sense of almost peace, but more like determination. It's determination so strong that it feels like peace, because nothing is stopping Faith from getting her sister back. This song captures that feeling perfectly. I absolutely love it.

[@jadenbrown8813]

Perfectly said, I recently played this game for the first time and that part gave me such and amazing feeling

[@jackp492]

My favourite moment and track too

[@TeodorLojewski]

Spot on. Beautifully said.

[@cjware316]

It does give that exact feeling huh? A sort of determination in combination with the peace that acceptance of ones fate brings.

[@iamgeorgesears]

[@TJHorner]

RaveCat3000 I'm not talking about that! The lighting, the high-resolution textures (look at Faith's hands and other models), smooth animations, etc. That shit was hard to pull off in 2009 even with Unreal Engine.

[@TJHorner]

RaveCat3000 Well, Battlefield 3 and Mirror's Edge use completely different engines. But yes, they _did_ need to make compromises. Less textures = less loading times, better performance, etc. I guess it also got the message across for where you're supposed to go.

[@erinocelotl3578]

This is my favourite music in the game. What drew me to it was the instrumentals alone but there's something about where you are storywise that adds so much. Merc is gone, Kate is taken , project icarus is underway and Faith is alone for the first time in the game. I really got the sense that I was alone and it was almost a bittersweet feeling because I felt quite sad but also I loved the music so much xD

[@christianearlsabijon3430]

Honestly, I feel this game's awkward fist vs gun combat and occasional getting lost were were minor hitches in what was a powerfully atmospheric and awesome adventure, where the levels were immensely well designed, the art style was magical and the music was dreamy and awesome, especially this track from a level so memorable that it's what I'll never forget the game for

[@Recondito.]

I got this game for free on 360's gold signature. Thing is I just downloaded it because it had no cost, so I started playing without expecting too much, but then I finished the experience realizing it's one of the most original and unique games ever. The whole parkour concept, alongside the nostalgic aesthetic, immersive atmosphere and chilling ambient soundtrack were a top notch combination of awesomeness. I'm glad I didn't pay a dime for such masterpiece.

Honestly one of the best video games I've ever played. I didn't have high expectations for this game when I bought it, unlike others who played the demo and expected a lot more from the full game, thus clouding their opinion. This game brought forth a cascade of emotions that I had never experienced with a video game, and there's no way I can sum up everything I loved about this game in a measly 500 character limit.

[@roberthunter6122]

I really wish the puzzle section lasted a bit longer, so I could enjoy this longer while playing the game... --- And also, this playing when you get to the "WHERE IS NOVEMBER" writing part in the vents, hearing Faith talk about that, it really hits you there... Wonderful stuff this is...

I hope they keep this soundtrack in the next Mirror's Edge, this song and mission is the best experience i had in gaming. So different and unique, unlike anything I played before. AMAZING!

[@BERYOZA75]

Mirror's edge Catalyst for me was a "generic sequel that everyone will hate and say original was better" and imo if catalyst was the first mirror's edge game, it would have blown up like the original. And honestly i kinda like catalyst but the reason im typing this here is because original had this AESTHETIC feeling by the soundtrack. Like it somehow explains you the feelings Faith has during the scene, call me a nerd but it really is: for example this one has a little sad suspension about loss of Merc or the scene where you climb up to the sniper rifle on the construction site in Kate chapter kinda shows you what heights can Faith reach just to protect her sister or the chase scene in the Flight chapter (actually any chasing scenes) gives the feels of adrenaline pumping. Solar Fields did a good job giving me unexplainable feels back in the 2008.

[@dixie3601]

the color did it for me. the original game was way better, visually. the sequel to the original had to be scrapped so many times, they rebooted it.

[@DoctorKhaos]

Yeah sure buddy. Catalyst was worse in every way. The music alone is much better in the orginal

[@SomeRandomPiggo]

i prefer the music from the original, but the visuals in catalyst really pop!

I couldn't finish Catalyst, It really didn't do it for me. Loved the open world and parkour though, even though it did lack the momentum and weight of the first.

[@KinoKing.]

I personally love catalyst but that may have just been because I got the game for my twelfth birthday back in 2016 and it's a nostalgia thing. I still come back to it and manage to love it every time though. I did buy the first game a couple months ago for my ps3 and definitely agree it is the better game in all aspects but I still can't help but love catalyst just as much
