This game is still great more than a decade after release. Parkour games, like aerial combat game, make me motion sick, but I can say that Mirror's Edge was still worth it. The parkour gameplay feels good, maybe even better than the follow-up, but the combat is just okay.

The cell shaded visuals held up better than a "realistic" approach would. The animated story scenes are fantastic and yet sometimes entertainingly jank by looping a small section for effect. The story, in terms of cyberpunk stories, is simple in a good way for a video game. Less tricking (AKA lying to) the player, and more classic power struggle and backstabbing.

I recommend this to most gamers - it did kick off, if not inspire, a huge increase in parkour games.
