Honestly, it holds up. Sure there's fewer polygons, but more polygons doesn't mean it looks better.
Going from the bleeps and bloops of the 8-bit gaming era to VR is quite a leap. VR was the realm of scifi, and now it exists as a reality. Is it perfect? No, and the steep psychological learning curve can be off-putting to some, but it's really good even as it is now.
This is three dimensional and the water reflects what is above?? The future is now!
I don't think it reflects, it's just slightly transparent and the object extends under the surface.
In those days, when you entered a room in a game that had very shiny tiles that reflected the room, it was simply a copy of the room, upside down and flipped, and the floors were transparent. It created the illusion of reflection.
