2025 has seen a plethora of fantastic video game launches, with the latest addition being Split Fiction on Steam Deck. Despite the anticipation for upcoming releases like Assassin’s Creed Shadows in March, it’s essential to explore lesser-known treasures in the free-to-play sector. One such undiscovered gem is a newly released, free-to-play game on Steam that has been compared to Mirror’s Edge and boasts 99% positive reviews.
New free-to-play Mirror’s Edge-esque game on Steam has 99% positive reviews
On February 27th, the fresh, free-to-play game titled “The Local” was launched on Steam. This game offers an exhilarating, first-person parkour experience, which has led to comparisons with Mirror’s Edge. What sets it apart is its distinct visual art style.
This game is referred to as a “rapid action sport, drawing loose inspiration from Surf and B-Hop,” featuring five distinct modes, a vast open environment, and the option for multiplayer. In the single-player experience, you’ll encounter time trials, but you can also leisurely traverse the world in Zen mode to refine your skills in activities such as rail grinding, wall climbing, air strafing, and bunny hopping.
Regarding multiplayer, you’ll find game modes resembling Capture the Flag and Infection, plus a roam-around option known as Zen. Notably, multiplayer allows for proximity chat interaction as well.
As a gamer, I’ve stumbled upon an incredible find – a game that has almost universally positive reviews on SteamDB. When you hover over the user rating, it shows that 99.39% of players love this game! One glowing review describes its movement as “really fun,” and goes on to say it’s very reminiscent of “BRC” or “Mirror’s Edge.” Another enthuses that it’s “one of the best free games I’ve ever found,” while another praises its fast-paced parkour as a mix of “Quake 3 strafe map vibes, CS surfing, Mirrors Edge.” It’s a unique blend that keeps me coming back for more!
Hey there fellow gamers! I’ve recently stumbled upon this free-to-play game that seems to be flying under the radar with only 165 user reviews so far. If you’re an old-school Mirror’s Edge fan like me, it’s definitely worth giving a shot. Let’s dive in and see what we can discover together!
