So instead of discussing Space RPGs and GOTYs, I'd like to discuss a gem-of-a-game from 2009 that I really liked - Mirror's Edge.
Yes, there were sections that made you yell at the monitor (in a bad way), the sub-par story and gameplay elements where you just had to ask "Why would you do this to your OWN game?".
But these flaws are completely overshadowed by the fact that the game just feels so darn good to play. Mirror's Edge just clicks a lot more for me than Meat Boy or the PoP games. That feeling you get when you finally manage to clear that speedrun section in a record time. That feeling you get when you execute a slide into a wallrun into a run-turn-jump. That feeling you get when the whole city's below you and you can just run around. No other game has done that for me.
I think Mirror's Edge is one of the most underrated games ever. I have high hopes that a sequel will get released eventually, and that it will remove some of the more..uh..terrible parts.
So, what do you think about Mirror's Edge?
