Mirror's Edge is a first-person action-adventure game focused on parkour and free-running. Set in a heavily surveilled city, players control Faith, a courier who traverses rooftops using wall-runs, jumps, and slides to deliver sensitive information. The gameplay emphasizes momentum and fluid movement over combat, with a focus on finding the fastest path through urban environments. In a near-future city where an authoritarian government controls the media and monitors its citizens, Faith Connors works as a Runner, an underground parkour courier who physically carries sensitive messages to avoid surveillance. When a reformist political candidate is murdered and Faith's twin sister Kate, a police officer, is framed for the killing, Faith races across the city's rooftops to uncover the conspiracy behind the assassination. Her investigation leads her to a private security firm running a covert program designed to eliminate Runners, and she discovers that trusted allies are not what they seem.

Answered from what people have written, never made up: a verdict, how much when it's a matter of degree, and the sentences that say so, quoted with their names. Reviews here first, then TMDB's reviews and the title's Wikipedia plot and reception. If nothing settles it, you can put it to the curators.
