Mirror's Edge

Mirror's Edge is a first-person adventure about courier runners who carry information across rooftops. The city lives under surveillance, and important information is valued more than money. The main character's name is Faith, and the hunt has begun for her. Her sister was accused of corrupting data, so she has to figure it out on her own. The world is painted white and red, and this helps to keep a bearing. The movement is based on parkour: running, pushing, rolling and sliding along pipes. Running directly through the streets is almost always a bad idea, so the route is sought on the rooftops. There are few fists and pistols, but speed decides almost everything. Routes are marked with hints that can be turned on in the settings. Falling from a height ends badly, so it’s better to time your jumps. Weapons are taken from opponents, but ammo is scarce. The levels are short and easy to replay for the best time. Running across rooftops requires precise calculation of your jump. Red objects indicate the route. The chases go at a pace that is difficult to break. Weapons are given only for a while, and ammunition for them is rare. The levels are lined up so that the next jump is visible. Fights take place in first person and require pacing. The game rewards for clean completions. Falls don't throw you too far. Weapons are given for a while, and ammo is rare.
