Are you on drugs?
No one in the whole world who played the first game likes this abomination. I sold mine the very next day as I just couldn't stand it. It's a 7 hour game with a stty storyline. EA even sent out emails to everyone asking about improvements that can be made to the game - which is the first tiem I have ever got such an email from any game publisher
Wait till the price drops to a fiver before even considering this game!

Great price for digital so soon. Clearly selling terribly though and will fall in price rapidly.

Opinions but I also liked this equally to the first.

Found this on the net :
DAY 1
Played Mirror's Edge Catalyst PS4 for the first time
The run while trying to go off grid felt less fluid like the first game. When you bash doors , the door doesn't swing back at you or when you jump from a height, you no longer somersault on the ground after landing
Button layout seems to have changed. Went to OPTIONS and changed layout
There's a runner silhouette as you run, to assist you but it felt like spoon-feeding to me for noobs
You are also told which button to press to jump, etc. on every obstacle .. further spoon-feeding
There are some unnecessary new moves , like hold X to jump higher, hold XX to jump and run , springboard and then wall run - these just ruined the fluidity of runs
You have to go through a combat tutorial - it felt like the game is going to be about lots of hand-to-hand combat, which is a far cry from the first game which just involved running and getting past baddies
If you press a button and run, it fills up a Focus shield , which will protect you when you fight baddies
There is now a MAP feature, where you set your waypoint like Assassins' Creed games
There is also a unlock skills menu, which again seems unnecessary and like the new Assassin's Creed games
Faith's voice does NOT sound cool like the first game and she sounds like a playful teenager. Youtubing revealed it's because they used different voice actors FFS! Jules De Jongh voiced Faith in ME1 and Faye Kingslee voices Faith in ME2
Rather than a continuing story, it feels more like mission-based. Go here, do that, Go there, do that
DAY 2
It is an open world game. The singleplayer does not automatically continue the story.
Just like an Assassin's creed game, you open the map, find your objective, set a waypoint, complete the objective and then repeat for the next objective. You can also FAST TRAVEL to a hideout
There are also side missions.
When you approach people after completing objective, you even have to press a button to activate the cutscene!
Running fluidity has still not improved! Too many obstacles have been placed to ruin the speed of a run.
Today I just got completely lost. I am not sure what I am doing in the game anymore or what the actual storyline is.
I can no longer see objectives in my map and online walkthroughs seem different too!
And, at this point, I have decided to just sell the game! Never have I been so disappointed with a game.
Thinking of buying this game ? Don't be a fool! Any good reviews you may find online are definitely biased. What a way to ruin a beautiful game! Sigh....
