How satisfied are you with the graphics of the games of the current generation?

I am at the point where I kind of wish the graphics would get worse.  Too much money is spent toward graphics.  All they do is improve the resolution and then I play the game and I'm still bored.  The budgets of these games are so high, that companies don't want to risk making a new type of game.  I am tired of pretty games.  I want novel and experimental games.  

On the other end of the spectrum we have indie titles which are definitely more novel and experimental, but their budgets tend to be too low.  It's like I get to choose.  Do I play a predictable but pretty game with a $50m budget or a basic but experimental game with a $500k budget.  I tend to wish there were a lot more experimental games with a $5m budget.  Dear AAA developer, please cancel your $50m sequel game and make 10 experimental games with a $5m budget instead. 

I really don't need graphics to be cutting edge.  Different visuals are often better than cutting edge.  Cuphead is different and is the type of game where I get excited about the visuals.  But games that simply improve the resolution and other technical aspects tend to be pretty boring.  I'd rather the money be spent on better design instead of better graphics.
