In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, your sister has been framed and now you are being hunted. You are a Runner called Faith — and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story.
We all want something innovative and new... its what breathes life into a otherwise soulless, copy-pasta vacume of video games. Sure a game can be beautiful with modern day hardware and a good engine, but what counts is the gameplay/story/characters and what creativity lies in it.
Innovative games should be the norm, but after the past few years are becoming the exception to the rule instead of the other way round.
Because of this, a innovative game, even if it doesn't work most true gamers will at least give the game credit for trying. This was true with Mirror's Edge. It may have missed the mark but it was different enough to warrant mention by just about everyone I know that played it.
Even Yahtzee (on the escapist) gave it a bit of honorable mention for just trying, and I honestly felt the same.
Its got style which gave it a vibrant, clean, futuristic look, parkour in first person, with some martial arts to disarm commando's and fire a gun for a little bit till it runs out of ammo which is only necessary in a few situations.
Its almost a parkour wet dream to see it in such a idealistic way in a video game, its also one of the few games where you can run along roof tops that tower over the urban landscape and be able to fall to your death and see it all before those last few seconds...
All it needed was to be longer and cause it probably won't get a expansion, a sequel is the next best thing.
