Huge waste of money
1st person platforming. It sounded like a fun idea, and the graphics were pretty, i got into the game, and i even started enjoying it a bit. but then i started to get penalized because the character wasnt climbing when i told it, or sliding across walls when i told it to, or not responding to my roll commands. not only that, when the particals start flying mainly gas and smoke it lags so hard. and the graphics are only nice looking because everything is either White, Orange, Blue or Red. The story was confusing, im still not sure who or what is happening, this game was just a huge waste of money for a buggy waste of time.

Why not look at a review on youtube? before buying it, then ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it?

I think this game is way too much underpriced, it is truly amazing, and I cant stop replaying it. And disable PhysX, it only makes you lag if you dont have a good nVidia GPU

Learn how to play the game, pay attention to the story, and disable Physx in the video options.

Went through the tutorial as anyone else. The story was incoherent. and sure, a game dependant on its graphics to sell games cause it looks pretty, should require me to turn off things that make the game look pretty.
Stop playing devils advocate like some kind of fanboy and approach it objectively

Why should i be dependant on reviewers opinions on a game, like any person i wanted to experience it myself. and i did and was very dissapointed.

Get over the fact that your PC cant handle the game, and stop whining. The controls arent difficult at all

I have a gaming laptop my friend. in which can handle Skyrim on top graphics + the HD DLC. but good try tho, trying to demonize my laptop in somthing you know nothing about.
and no, the controls arnt difficult, i dont remember making reference to terrible controls, i did make reference to non responsive controls, if that's what you meant.
It's at this point i start to question your mental capabilities

Skyrim is by no means a demanding game with only the HD DLC. Try to install Realvision ENB or another one and some serious texture overhauls. That's demanding.

Skyrim has low requirements, it does not need any expensive hardware to run on the best graphics. However, Mirrors Edge utilizes something called PhysX, made by nVidia. Games with PhysX enabled allow for many functions such as additional particles, sort-of-a realtime object destruction or what would you call it, and much more. PhysX requries a good graphics card, and works best with nVidia GPUs - coincidence, right? So unless you have a decent nVidia GPU, you should not be playing with PhysX enabled, as it only lags and slows down your PC. Non-responsive controls? They respond pretty well, and I never had any problems with them - maybe back then when I first played the game, but that is logical. You should practice more. Demonizing your laptop? No I am not, I just told you not to expect a smooth gameplay with PhysX enabled if your PC/Laptop cant handle it - and a Laptop that handles PhysX? My friend has a nVidia GeForce GT520M, 4 Gigs of RAM and he still experiences lags with PhysX enabled. He can even play Crysis 3 - which is more demanding than Mirrors Edge with no lags on medium details, but Mirrors Edge with PhysX is unplayable. The point I am trying to make here is that your Laptop cannot handle this, and you are not willing to accept that. As for questioning my mental capabilities, that is not gonna help you play the game. Have fun.

EDIT: After playing 0.6 hours, you can already tell if the game is not worth it? Time to question your mental capabilities...

I have 4core 8 Gigs of RAM and the GeForce GT650M, physx won't work either. It' mostly cause of physx being ♥♥♥♥♥♥ implemented into the game.

This. It is not perfect, but it looks nice.

The controls are responsive as they get...The game is perfectly optimized..Just your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop.

I've never doubted that PhysX looks nice. It's still implemented in a bad way because there are PhysX games that don't force such performance drops, e.g. Warframe.

If you were referring to my laptop setup, of course it's not perfect but it's quite a bit more high-end than your friend's so I thought I should mention that.
