Mirror's Edge Catalyst - 5/10

Mirror's Edge Catalyst has a beautiful world and fun movement but that's it. The story starts off intriguing in the first 30 minutes but after a few hours you realise you've already seen everything that the game has to offer. The combat is awful and very clunky. I tried to look past it until they throw you into a forced combat mission mid way through the game.
Story is extremely dull and predictable. There's an extreme amount of sound compression in the cutscenes too which just makes it even worse.
