Trixxstrr Mirror's Edge Catalyst Review

I finished Mirror's Edge: Catalyst as one of the picks this month in the Game Pass Game Club. It was alright I guess. I really liked the traversal through the city, and the open world which left multiple paths to choose. The visual style was nice and still holds up pretty well even though it's a bit old now. I finished the original but ages ago so didn't remember anything from the story, but apparently this is more of a reboot of the story, which I didn't know until just now, haha. The story was just serviceable I guess, it didn't seem to draw me into caring very much about what was going on. The ending was disappointing for sure, open ended trying to leave it for a sequel to resolve it, which we never got. The combat parts that were forced in a few areas left me a little stumped and I had to look up some strategies of how to properly handle them to continue. I guess it was sort of obvious after I read, but oh well. And I neglected to take the fast climb upgrade which got me almost stuck in one part where I was struggling to get away from some gun fire fast enough. I only did a handful of the side tasks, but there were a ton of them scattered over the map if you were really into it. As is, it took me around 10 hrs to finish which was plenty for me.
