3. Mirror's Edge
Electronic ArtsMirror's Edge was a truly excellent game, featuring a unique aesthetic and smooth free-running gameplay. While the game received decent reviews on release, six years later it has widely been recognised as something of a modern classic. The majority of the game was magnificently realised, but the combat was Mirror's Edge's low point. The melee combat was a bit sloppy, and overly relied on the trial-and-error of anticipating the timing of punches and gunfire. Fortunately, the combat wasn't a big part of the game, and it was almost always encouraged to just run from fights (other than one or two compulsory segments). However, it did serve as an unwanted break from the wonderful platforming, unnecessarily disrupting the game's flow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ERFR0gHO0
