Mirror's Edge Catalyst - PC

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is a single-player first-person action-adventure platform game for PC, built around parkour movement, rooftop exploration, and combat in the City of Glass. It suits players who enjoy fast, movement-focused gameplay and a story about Faith challenging an oppressive society.

Recommended For

• Players who want first-person parkour to be the main activity—linking wall-runs, slides, jumps, and climbs through a city rather than relying on gunplay.
• Time-trial and speedrunning players who enjoy replaying routes, finding faster lines through obstacles, and competing on movement challenges.
• Players who like roaming between story missions to explore rooftops, climb structures, and discover optional routes and challenges in a connected city setting.
• Single-player action-adventure players who want a focused campaign with movement-based missions and are comfortable with combat being secondary to traversal.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When you want a first-person action game built around movement, play Faith’s story missions by chaining rooftop runs, wall-runs, slides, and jumps; traversal is the main attraction, while combat can interrupt the flow.
• When you want to explore between missions, run across City of Glass’s rooftops and districts to find alternate paths, collectibles, and tucked-away areas; the open setting lets you move around at your own pace, though some routes funnel you through specific crossings.
• When you want a repeatable solo challenge, replay Dashes and time trials to find a faster route and improve your completion time; the game rewards learning the city’s paths and maintaining momentum.
• When a mission puts guards in your way, use movement to dodge, build momentum, and get past them where possible; some encounters require fighting, which reviewers commonly describe as less satisfying than the parkour.
• When you want a low-pressure break from the main story, search for rooftop routes and environmental climbing challenges; these turn navigation into a platforming puzzle, with difficult jumps and hazards to work around.
