Worth buying in 2019?
Hi. First of all, i'm a huge parkour fan. Dying Light is still my favorite parkour game, but i heard it was inspired by Mirror's Edge parkour, so yeah, i'm kinda curious now. Is it worth buying? It's pretty old, 9.99 euro. Can i get at least 7 hours of content from this game? Does it have any replay value?

There's never an absolute answer for that question, it's something only you can answer.
That said, this game is a classic at this point, something I would recommend to anyone; it's not a really long game and there's not much replay value in the sense that every run will more or less be the same, but there are secret collectibles and time trials, and all that aside I still find myself replaying it every now and then even after all these years and even if I know the game by heart, just because it's fun to run and jump around. The price also often drops below 3€ so you could wait for a sale.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I searched a bit on YT and google, and i really liked what i saw. The gameplay looks good, the parkour, the graphics are amazing for something that old. I see that there are trials, leaderboards, etc. I like that. Plus, there is some replay value to the game. You can unlock hard only after beating the game. I like that. Will definetly buy it on sale.

One thing though, does this game has some kind of cloud saving?

Store page says no, but you never know, some games like Dark Souls have it even if it's not written on the store page... I never noticed if the game uploads something when you close it

It is fun but sometimes very hard. Currently I am stuck in chapter 7 after 15 hours of playing.

Hey there, I'm just like you as I'm a big fan of Dying Light and Mirror's Edge and I can say these games go hand-to-hand very well. You can use Mirror's Edge as practice before you play Dying Light 2.
And you can have over as much as 20 hours by doing speed runs and time trials.
I replay it once every couple of years. Nothing gives you such a real feeling of being there.

Yes.
Fantastic game that holds up incredibly well even after a decade.

Yes. Fantastic game with fantastic athmosphere and with fantastic music. There is no other game like this. Story is a bit letdown, at least I did not care about the story. But the visual design...there is just no game like this. And it still looks awesome after 10 years after release.
I bought the game because I liked the music I heard on Youtube. Didn't even knew it was so low priced.

Yes, Mirror's Edge is worth playing also in year 2020. It is nothing less than a fantastic game, if one enjoys the genre parkour. Not much replaying value, but one can increase the difficulty level.

The second game "Catalyst" is just as fantastic (but that is just my opinion). "Catalyst" has some replaying value, since there are a lot of side missions to complete, even after the main game is finished.

This is my 3rd Game 2020 and I can guarantee you - this is a lot of fun. The Soundtrack is out of this world - the gameplay is satisfying and it its overall a lot of fun even tho its short.
Get it on Sale for 2,49€ and get atleast 5 hours of entertainment.

Realtalk? This Game has something unique you know? A Soul. This Game is absolutely amazing and everything fits perfect.
