Mirror's Edge Catalyst

Genre: Action-Adventure, Platform

Released June 7, 2016

The sneaky, parkour professional, runner is back. That's right, Faith is back on a new adventure to take down the evil company, KrugerSec, but this is not a sequel or even a prequel, but a reboot to showcase Faith's past. After the game was officially announced the DICE product manager Sara Jansson confirmed that this is not in anyway a sequel, but instead a look into Faith's past using the same elements from the first game. But moving on there has been a big split among players, half saying they loved the story and that it was truly incredible while the other half has no idea what's going on. So here's a clarification for you guys. Enjoy!

Story

You start of the game, Faith is let out of a detention center and not even five minutes after leaving is tossed right back into the world of runners. Shortly after leaving the detention center you meet Icarus, another runner of the same level as Faith. These two don't get along and have a heated rivalry.

As you go through the missions you eventually have to go on a mission with Icarus to infiltrate and steal data from KrugerSec. After Faith steals the data she see another intruder and follows and watches him steal some data as well. After he stealing the data he is spotted and taken down by Isabel Kruger, but takes a cyanide pill and dies before they can arrest and question him. After watching the whole ordeal Faith steals the disc as well and makes an escape. After escaping Faith finds out the disc is encrypted, she takes it to the hacker plastic to be decrypted only to find that they are blueprints to a project called Reflection. This gives KrugerSec not only the ability to control people, but as well as their minds; freewill would be no more.

After we are shown a flashback from Faith's past, we find out that Faith's parents were killed by KrugerSec and that they were watching from a maintenance tunnel and after witnessing this tried to make an escape as they were escaping a gas grenade was thrown into the tunnel with them. Faith's sister collapses, and thinking that she was dead, Faith continues to run until she finally meets up with Noah who takes her to safety. Only to find out later that she didn't die, but was adopted by Kruger and renamed Isabel Kruger.

KrugerSec eventually finds the runners hideout and storm the place killing everyone there. Faith and Icarus not being there at the time race back only to see Noah being captured and taken away. This caused them to join Black November, another runner who believes in revolution through fear. hey hatch a plan to kidnap Isabel, Faith at the time not knowing that that was her sister. After capturing her, Faith get some information and finds out that is her sister. Upon getting back Rebecca the leader of Black November is about to shoot Isabel until Faith stops her.

Plastic tells Faith that the runners were not killed, but instead were captured and Dogen, an information smuggler tells her they are being held in a facility underground called Thy Kingdom. Faith goes down there to rescue Noah and find a prisoner that use to be a researcher for Kruger and tells Faith their whole objective and how her mother use to work with them. Upon hearing this Faith releases her and searches for Noah in the interrogation room, but upon getting there she watches as Kruger kills Noah using Reflection, which instantaneously kills him.

Returning broken to Black November she find out that after moving Isabel to higher ground that they were attacked and Isabel is gone and that everyone was injected with Reflection. Faith then breaks into Kruger's apartment and steals his gridprint giving her and Plastic access to all of KrugerSec. Plastic then creates a virus to take down reflection.

Faith takes the virus to The Shard and uploads it. As she does this Kruger and his guards come in. After defeating the two guards Faith then proceeds to fight Kruger. Kruger then warns her that by shutting down Reflection she would also kill her sister since Isabel has a chronic lung disease caused by the gas grenade and Reflection is keeping it at bay. Isabel then walks in, but then quickly runs away, after catching up with her the two sisters fight on the helipad as it starts to collapse. Isabel saves Faith from falling and then helps Kruger. The game ends with Isabel taking over and then asking Faith what's she going to do, in which she responds, "I'm gonna run." before giving you free range.

Isabel (Caitlyn)

Faith's rival and the best runner in the group. Is very snippy, sarcastic, and likes to challenge Faith, but respects Noah. He and Faith become close friends after Noah dies.

Acts like a guardian to Faith as if she was his own daughter. Took her in after Kruger killed her parents. Is very strict, but in a protective way. He cares for each of his runners.

A information smuggler. Faith owes him a big debt. He is logical and rude and doesn't liked to be messed with.

Plastic

Leader of Black November. Thinks violence is the only way to take down Kruger. Very authoritative, but has a sense of humanity. Is willing to make an example of someone by killing them to make a point. Not trustworthy.

The CEO of KrugerSec and adoptive father of Isabel (Caitlyn). He brainwashed Caitlyn into thinking Faith died and killed ??? He is very commanding and aggressive. He hates to lose and is willing to even kill just to get his information back.

Enemies:

There are many enemies throughout mirror's edge and the difficulty of these enemies just get harder and harder like any game should. So here are the types of enemies you'll have to face.

Guardians

Class: Light Melee

One of the most common enemies seen throughout the game. The runners have had to deal with them for years. Normally come in twos and are everywhere.

Protectors

Class: Melee

They take longer to take out due to their increase in competence and protective gear. They are able to counter and retaliate against repeated attacks and combos.

Shock Protectors

Class: Heavy Melee

These enemies pack a big punch. They are tough and very resistant to direct attacks. Their training gives them the upper hand in stationary combat.

Weakness: Lots of movement: dodging a lot, and running around.

Enforcers

Class: Ranged

Are trained in positional and high damage long distance ranged combat. Are very skilled and are normally with other enemies.

Weakness: Are lightly trained in close hand to hand combat.

Sentinels

Class: Hunter

These are the toughest enemies you will probably face in the whole game. The are very skilled, fast, tenacious, and quick to deal out punishment. Are very resistant to direct attacks.

Weakness: Keep moving, and Air attacks.

My Thoughts:

I honestly thought the game was good and I really enjoyed it. Although I was among the people who had no idea what was going on, when I went and re-watched it on YouTube, I was actually able to get it. I do think the creators do need to work on the story a little more because I got confused half way through, but I don't know maybe I'm crazy and just can't see it. I loved the free range running though, I thought that was fun to be able to pick my own route. I also liked the way they animated the story how it's different from the first Mirror's edge where they used 2D comic book like animation to this game where they are using 3D animation. I think if your interested in games like Assassin's Creed and Parkour games this is definitely the game for you. Here's my favorite trailer of the game:

I like you to also voice your opinions and questions. I'd really like to hear your guy's thoughts. Did I do a good job? What did you like? What should I change? And what should I write on next?

The Gray Garden

The Gray Garden

By: Deep Sea Prisoner

Story:

The gray garden is an awesome game with a great story. Yosafire, Froze, Macarona, and Rawberry  live in world where angels and demons live together in peace until one events makes their world take a turn for the worst. What will happen when there world is thrown into a world of chaos?  To download the game there's a link at the bottom at the page. I love the characters and the worlds, but the amount of walking in the game is a little long and makes me bored, but if you keep up with it depending on how you play the endings are awesome. [Hints are in BLUE] (My thoughts are in parenthesis or have a ^ mark at the beginning)

Main Characters:

 

A little demon who is just full of energy. The main protagonist in this awesome game. Despite some coldness to the male gender she is an awesome character that you will find to love. She is outgoing, courageous, and encouraging, but has a fear of flying (wat could be the reason for this?). ^Honestly she is my favorite because of her high-spiritedness (don't know if it's a word, but if it isn't I just made it one). She is friends with everyone and may relate with many people. She's so fun to play as I wish I had created her.^

 

Yosaf's (Yosafire) best friend. Always keeps Yosaf out of trouble. ^To me, she is like an adult figure, even though her and Yosaf are the same age she is the mature one.^ Her personality is hard understand because in the beginning she always glaring, easy to anger or make upset, but she starts to change toward the end. But honestly with just her and Yosaf their a funny pair that'll make you laugh.
 

 A gluttonous demon who will eat anything absolutely everything from pastries to bugs. She is particularly fond of bugs she will go and catch them and eat then or turn them into something to eat. She is best friends with Macarona. Every time you see her she is no doubt eating or catching something to eat the only thing she loves more the food is the protect of her older sister Rasbel. ^I love how she and Yosaf are harsh to boys (NOT saying I hate the male gender it's just the names they come up with are funny it makes you have to re-read to make sure you read right).

A timid, scare angel with astounding strength. ^To me and I'm sorry if she may be your favorite character but to me she is annoying as heck until her and her friends fight Emalf because she then finally grows a backbone. Though the least powerful girl out of the group she does have her good points like......she kind, friendly and is always looking after Rawberry (Srry had to think abt it).

Key Characters:
WARNING: The character's names in this section are not spelled backwards that's how they're spelled. (I know the spell out words like: White, Black, and Shadow, but they are spelled correctly.)

 

 The god of the world, she runs everything and you only play her once(TnT sad I wish you could play her more not fair). She created the world, and knows everything cause she's god (as she repeats a lot. NO joke.), but the confusing part is, is she an angel because it'll explain that demons and angels at a point in time fought each other and she was fighting with the angels (I don't get it!!!). But not only is she the god of this world she is a couple with the worlds devil. ^Their a cute couple who we're once swore enemies. But what will happen when their beloved god goes missing?

The world's devil, (k hold on a sec, so there's many worlds not just theirs and every world has their own devil, you will meet three but the third one will really surprise you.) anyway Kcalb or old man as Yosafire calls him is the devil and handles everything (like a boss) most of the time. If not him handling situations he ask Wodahs (his brother/head angel) to do it. He dates the god of their world. When things start to make the world go haywire what will become of him when a ............Sorry, almost gave a spoiler. What will happen when he's attack for his power? Will he survive?

The head angel of the world, is put in charge most of the time to handle situations (you only play him once). When the world starts to see unknown visitors he's put in charge of investigating where these other world visitors are from, but when he is so close to finding out he is attacked and goes missing. Will he be ok? Will he make it back in time before it's too late?

Passing Demon: You meet her after meeting Emalf for the first time. Whenever you ask who she is she always refers to herself as just a passing demon, but who is she really? (I had so many thoughts on who she might be, but had no clue.) [Wait until the end]

Enemies:

WARNING: Sorry, guys I started to get lazy on the enemies that matter, but not really. NO OFFENSE to the makers, I don't mean to be disrespectful but the characters I only put pictures of, I just didn't feel they were really included in the plot or funny enough (But it includes some information).

Emalf: A demon or more like his devil's underling. He likes Yosafire, but is coldly rejected many times. He thinks about her every three days. (He likes Yosafire but is willing to kill her: I don't get it.) Yosafire doesn't like him and in meeting him the second time uses some vulgar language, but it is censored (*bleep). Emalf is a shady character at the beginning until we learn he likes  Yosafire and is always saying it. He has beautiful eyes that throw the main characters off. (But he's kind of weird, but it's funny how Yosafire and her friends make fun of him.)

 

???: This person you will not find out until the end. He's evil, and a person you don't want to deal with. When you get to play as Wodas you'll see him, but not his face. He attacks Wodas and locks him away ............Sorry that spoiler, I won't give you. But just who is he? (There's no nice things I can say about him so for the young viewers: he's a bad man).

 

*******The more you battle and level up the more likely you'll get a good ending!!!*************

Conclusion: Honestly I love the game and the makers of this game so I played their other games you should check them out as well as give this game a try. This game is a six hour game, with a good story. It'll make you want a sequel of this game. I love the game and I hope after Deep Sea Prisoner is done with their new project they'll consider making a sequel of this game because the thing I hate and love the most is when there is cliff hangers as well as many questions unanswered. So my message for Deep Sea Prisoner is if for some reason your reading this please consider making a series on The Gray Garden and answer these questions please.

Bad end 1: Dead end
Bad end 2: Happy torture time

Bad end 3: Binge-eater

Normal ending

True ending
