Was also coming in to recommend mirrors edge, what a great game.
Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

Why not go to the original? Mirror’s Edge (2008) has still probably the best first person movement of any game. Unlike it’s sequel, It’s not an open world, but many cited it as a plus, since the levels still feel free but very well designed asking you to sprint through - and nearly the whole game you just run and climb with very few interruptions.

I recently learned that Mirror’s Edge was written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of Terry Prachett.

I’ve played the first Mirrors Edge to like 75% maybe three times over the years since it released. I just started downloading the second today. Do you think it is I’ll advised to skip the last quarter of the first? It has been a while since I played it and I feel like I would burn out again.
Great game. I think it’s me.

I absolutely LOVED Mirror’s Edge. That feeling of hitting flow in game and out of game as you just move smoothly from point to point was just amazing. I played originally on PS2 and almost got the plat trophy. I loved trying not only to find the fastest path but the smoothest, the weirdest, the pacifist, etc. It was great.
Then I tried 2 for like 5 seconds before I dropped it. It immediately felt like a betrayal of the first game. I hated the UI. I hated the color grade. I hated the style. I hated what seemed like a turn toward the violent.

Mirrors edge wasn’t on ps2… Was that a typo intending to be ps3 instead?

Dying Light, the zombie parkour game was also good and had great movement mechanics.
