This game has been sitting on my shelf gathering dust for a while now since I last played it years ago, and with the whole world seemingly in lockdown and people not being able to move around as much I thought what better way to spend the day than being active in-game? So let’s jump right into this one!

For those of you haven’t ever played Mirror’s Edge before the game is a first-person view action-adventure game that allows the player to step into the heroic role of Faith. Faith is trying to clear the name of her younger sister, Kate after she got framed for a murder. The two sisters haven’t seen much of each other since the two went their separate ways after their mother was killed in a protest that went violent. The death hit the family hard as Faith’s father blamed himself and ended up becoming an alcoholic. At a very young age, Faith decides to run away from home, living on the streets and stealing to survive. One night Faith got caught breaking into Mercury’s house, a man who secretly smuggles information across the city while avoiding the city guards. Instead of turning her away or calling the police, he decided to recruit her as a runner.
Runners are a group of individuals that use their skills to deliver and intercept important packages that contain high-value information, which then gets sold to the highest bidder. The job of a runner is not without its problems as Faith is sent on a run to deliver a package that triggered local authorities to get a bit trigger happy and so the story kicks off in an explosion of action.
