There are elements of our real world that games feel particularly smug about being able to recreate, and mirrors are one of them. I’m not surprised; mirrors have always seemed slightly magical to me, and to my cat, who I don’t think quite comprehends reflections. And why should she! It’s unnerving seeing an exact replica standing there before you, doing what you’re doing and looking at you. Staring. So yes, I can understand why reflections are hard to do, and with it, why they’re such an accomplishment in games. The question is, which mirrors in games have been the most memorable? Which are the best?
