Mirror’s Edge Catalyst

New Game & First Time Playing

Need My 2 Online Achievements Before Servers shut down on December 8th (Part 1/2)




And just when you think you pull yourself out…you get pulled back in much sooner than expected. I know I just finished off Mirror’s Edge the first game previously (this summer finally), and I really wanted to take a break from the second game/prequel because I was just so burnt out on it. I wanted to go for a walk, not the run of my life.

However, due to foreseen circumstances (I wish I could say “unforeseen” for dramatic effect), EA will be shutting down the online servers for the game on December 8th 2023 - again I say foreseen because as much as I critique EA, they were actually very proactive in notifying the community that they would be shutting down the online services for so many of their games. I only have the two online achievements, to touch and player’s Beat L.E. and to complete a time trial posted online. Before you unlock that online features though you must progress to a certain part of the story - not very far but about 90 minutes in.

The opening scene of the game is just really stunning - a real step up in the level of animation from the last gen title. Everything looks so shiny in crisp - the city of Glass certainly lives up to its name. Even the sound effects match the visuals - you see the sharpness in the buildings and hear that crispness in the air.

And the fact the game is open world is such a game changer for me - it just feels so much “more” than before. The people at DICE expanded so much on the game. I don’t have my maneuvering down yet (no really it’s locked behind a skill tree). Wild notion to have a skill tree in a game like this but maybe not necessary? Whatever, the game is pretty, I feel like a bad ass, and I think I may be hooked all over again!

I was hoping to finish this up in one day, but I need to go prep for Thanksgiving - happy Holidays all!
