20 Most Criminally Underrated Video Games Of All Time
5. Mirror's Edge
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.
Game-obsessed since the moment I could twiddle both thumbs independently. Equally enthralled by all the genres of music that your parents warned you about.
