Which 3D 6th gen games have aged the most gracefully visually in your view, and why

[Leynos]

Ikaruga. Still one of the best looking games ever to me. Originally on Dreamcast. The art direction is top. Still one of the best games in the genre. Also kind a fun fact in stage 2 you fly over a city. This is iconic in the shmup genre. Nier Automata mech designs and it's flyover of the city in it's shmup section was a love letter to Ikaruga.
