Art is a key part of graphics. It's not just how good your tech is, it's how well you use it. A parallax-mapped turd in Quad HD is still a turd. 480p doesn't stop Muramasa or Epic Yarn looking gorgeous. |
Think of it this way.
VS

The art on the right obviously took more raw talent to create vs the art on the left. Creating the work on the right would have taken years while the one on the left could be constructed in a day. There is nothing wrong with the art on the left, it's certainly much "better," but everyone can agree that the art on the right is a much more impressive, albeit ugly, piece.
Artistic video games are great, beautiful, incredible, etc., but the vast majority of the time their graphics are not impressive.
