We have imitations of them
before you bring up UE4, it doesn't actually have those, let me start with reflections the so called "Reflections" are screen space
meaning that all they actually do is take the frame you are viewing and flipping it vertically and unless you failed 8th grade you'd know that that is not how reflections work irl
and as for GI it's not really GI It's real time Radiosity
it's only really good for the candles in Metro 2033,the windows in the arch viz demos, the flames in the unreal flat* demo,etc
but you can't light an entire scene with it unless it's an exterior scene, because light doesn't have to bounce as much. but for interior scenes it would look horrid unless ofcourse you bake it
(here is a video describing what baking is, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB09T--_ZvU)

| I'd say something about the Sims 3 mirrors but they probably aren't entirely accurate |

Sims 3 mirrors work by duplicating the sim to another plane and mirroring them.
again, not how reflections work. |

"but it's better than mirrors not reflecting anything at all"
My mirrors don't, oddly.

"Sims 3 mirrors work by duplicating the sim to another plane and mirroring them." iirc aren't there a lot of games that use that trick
