Yes, but PS4/Vita games never get credits for having top graphics. 3DS games aren't penalised for having 10-year old graphics. That's not normal, gamers derserve the best tech and journalists deny that by being soft on Nintendo games.

Furthermore, gameplay, story, etc. are very subjective aspects and can be manipulated easily. 

Reviewers widely praised the graphics of games like Killzone Shadowfall, The Order, Diveclub, etc. 

Although if we're going to judge graphics by a universal standard instead of the standards of its hardware, that would inevitably lead to PS4 games being compared unfavourably to their PC counterparts. There's also the issue that graphics aren't just how potent your visual technology is, but how you use it. 

Maybe multiplatform games would, but Driveclub and The Order: 1886 look better than the vast majority of PC games. Also, to top it, Driveclub is a superb game while The Order: 1886 is very good at what it attempted to do. So while graphics should have been considered they aren't all that is to be considered.

Killzone: Shadow Fall ios an exception of course, that game sucked imo.
