3d video games have looked good since at least the mid-late 90s and trying to chase photorealism instead of stylization and working with limitations is stupid and the latter is always strictly better because it at least shows that you have your own idea of aesthetic and art

@q66 I find it particularly comical that AAA games go for ultradetailed photorealism then put big glowing halos around enemies, pulsating arrows that tell you where to go and flashing lights that indicate objects you can interact with, because otherwise the game is unplayable
