Free Running vs Mirror's Edge Catalyst

Free Running lets you turn an urban landscape into a high‑octane playground where every wall, rail and rooftop becomes a path to victory. Harness the spirit of parkour to jump, climb and sprint past opponents in fast‑paced races. With both single‑player challenges and multiplayer modes, the game blends racing, sport and action, delivering a kinetic experience that rewards creativity and daring movement across PC and PlayStation 2.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is an action-adventure game and reboot of the acclaimed franchise, exploring the origins of protagonist Faith. Players traverse the dystopian city of Glass using fluid parkour movements, utilizing momentum and environmental interactions to reach objectives across a seamless open-world environment. With an overhauled combat system focused entirely on momentum-based melee attacks rather than firearms, the game emphasizes speed, flow, and precise timing. Players uncover a deep corporate conspiracy while mastering the rooftops in this thrilling, single-player and multiplayer-connected experience.
