Mirror’s Edge and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Join the EA Access Vault
The EA Access program continues to be one of the best values in gaming with another two games joining the Vault this November. Both the original Mirror’s Edge and its sequel Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will be locking themselves into the Vault collection on November 9th.
The original Mirror’s Edge was a cult hit that was overlooked upon release but became a coveted game once people caught on to how good it was. Its sequel, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst was fairly well-received scoring in the low 70s on Metacritic but fell short of the lofty expectations of many fans. If you held out until now to try out the game then your patience has paid off!
Our own Cale Boudreau took on review duties for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst saying, “Overall, Mirrors Edge: Catalyst isn’t a bad game, it takes what the original did and amps it up in every way possible. The mechanics feel polished and the freedom to go anywhere makes for hours of gameplay exploring secret areas. Catalyst just needs to improve the delivery of combat and do away with the redundant upgrade tree. While the textures are lackluster, the result is smoother running performance and for a game that requires the utmost precision while thinking on your feet, that’s forgivable. For what it is, pure open world parkour bliss, Catalyst is worth the price tag, if you’re a fan of the original Mirror’s Edge, even more power to you.”
With rumblings that UFC 2 and Star Wars Battlefront aren’t too far behind it’s a great time to get on board with EA Access. Keep it locked to COGconnected and we’ll pass on more EA Access news as soon as we have it.
