A few people are shot on-screen and killed. There are mild spurts of blood when Faith is hit by gunfire. Armed combat is an available option, but is not required. Violence: Faith is trained in hand-to-hand combat, which the player must utilize throughout the game to debilitate or disarm opponents. Drug/Alcohol Use: Because of the government’s regulations against smoking and alcohol, these are practically absent from the narrative and setting. Nothing else of this nature is shown or otherwise spoken about through the rest of the game. Sexual Content: The most revealing character is Celeste, whose Runner garb subjects the player to some midriff. CONTENT WARNING Language/Crude Humor: Aside from a few instances of the word “D***,” and at least two times where the Lord’s name is used in vain. Not much humor is allotted to the scripting, and even that scripting doesn’t do much to help give the story legs. She and her sister are given some empathetic background context for flavor, but it doesn’t do much in way of satisfying their histories and relationships as a whole. Faith is without a doubt cool, albeit that coolness is nearly her only redeeming feature. There are no real emotional ties developed between the player and the characters, and the objectives basically have you hopping from trying to find one person to the next, without much happening in between. As far as the story is concerned, it’s good, but owns a certain sense of lacking. In the process she must put together knowledge of an experimental test being done within the city, known as Project Icarus. Faith takes it upon herself to try and uncover the true culprit, as well as damage the intelligence infrastructure of the governing city to the best of her ability along the way. Her sister Kate, a member of the city police, is framed in the murder of a campaigning government official who opposed the city’s current state of being. Faith Connors is one of these Runners, an outlaw, and part of Merc’s Runner crew. In this society, the Runners traffic goods and information which government officials desperately try to keep secret. Crime is practically non-existent, but this comes at the cost of corrupt policies monitoring and regulating the privacy and media of its citizens. STORY A network of renegading information mules known as “Runners” evade the Big Brother eyes of an unnamed, totalitarian utopian city which has established a fake peace through its streets. Through the surrogate eyes of Faith Connors, I became a “Runner,” and I sprinted out the other side of the experience with all the pride and enthusiasm of one who has felt freedom, even if there were a couple hangups along the way.
Eight years later and at long last, I took up my mantle in this parkour-inspired, corporate-infiltration adventure.
I’d read reviews and I knew the songs, but I never actually played the game, knowing in my heart of hearts it was something special and different, worthy of my time…eventually.

As I played other things and also took interest in more TV shows, something would always turn my mind back to that bleeding curiosity of a game. $19.99 Mirror’s Edge has been sitting on the seams of my interest for years, watching as I looked for entertainment elsewhere.
