It's become trendy to be into Mirror's Edge retroactively these days, but this army of bandwagon jumpers were nowhere to be seen back in 2008. Instead we had a core fan base which spent a lot of time arguing with detractors who chastised the combat, whined about the weak attempt at storytelling and moaned that it was all over too quickly. As a piece of perfectly paced interactive art, though, Mirror's Edge broke new ground. Visually arresting and silky smooth, EA DICE made us change our thought patters about how we traverse a game environment. Obviously Mirror's Edge wasn't perfect, but this riveting parkour-flavored first-person adventure was so unique, so exhilarating, that we need to look past its flaws and appreciate it as a modern classic.
