Faith's debut is a first-person parkour experience, a bold move that put movement first. The joy of Mirror's Edge comes from stringing together runs through a minimalist cityscape, chaining wall-runs, slides, and jumps to maintain momentum. The focus on flow, combined with the visceral hand-to-hand combat, gives it a unique feel that continues to influence the genre.
