2D pixel art really bloomed and matured in the 4th gen, whereas 3D graphics were still in their infancy in the 5th.
That said, I still think some 3D games on PS1/N64/Saturn hold up okay considering the technical limitations of the time, like say Banjo Kazooie, Starfox 64, Vagrant Story, Legacy of Kain, the Panzer Dragoon games, etc.
