When was the last time the graphics of a game surprised you?

Being used to systems with less power can be a factor, but for me at least it has more to do with the fact that when I was a kid mobile graphics looked like this:

So seeing something like Doom 2016 or Hellblade running on a handheld just really impresses on me how incredibly far we've come just in my lifetime.

Exactly, that's what I'm talking about, and one more thing, Nintendo and its games are just barely attractive because of graphics, can't say there's no good looking games on Nintendo systems, it's just unlike Sony, they focus way more on gameplay than graphic stuff.

Yeah, plus Nintendo's first party games tend to lean more towards stylized art direction. That said, so far it's been ambitious third party ports of technically advanced games that have impressed me more than Nintendo's efforts on Switch. To date, Mario Odyssey's the only first party developed title on Switch to earn a spot on my personal graphics shortlist. Still, it's early days yet, the system only just turned two years old.
