games that are style over substance have and always will exist, same for games that a pure mechanics. Seek out what you like there are all kinds of games released every year, complaining that tech demos don't show gameplay is just stupid and pointless. They are called tech demos because they are designed to show tech, if you are not interested in pure tech then ignore them they are not for you anyway they are designed for other developers first and foremost which is why they are shown at GDC. Great presentation improves the overall package, I would rather play a game with great gameplay and great presentation than one with horrible presentation and great gameplay.
If a game has poor graphics I see no problem pointing that out, presentation is very important to some people. If that doesn't bother you just ignore that part of the review or comments or whatever,
