Why does this game get its hooks into my brain so effectively? Why does it feel so much more visceral?
I think it's because Mirror's Edge is the first game to hack your proprioception.
That's a fancy word for your body's sense of its own physicality — its "map" of itself. Proprioception is how you know where your various body parts are — and what they're doing — even when you're not looking at them. It's why you can pass a baseball from one hand to another behind your back; it's how you can climb stairs without looking down at your feet.
