Is the Emphasis on Graphics in Modern Games Overrated?

Recommended Posts

I've been playing games for years, and I've noticed a trend where stunning graphics take center stage, often at the expense of gameplay and story. While visuals are important, they shouldn't overshadow other crucial elements like narrative depth and innovative mechanics. Are we sacrificing creativity and fun for photorealism? Do you think there's too much focus on graphics in modern gaming, or is it a necessary evolution?

Absolutely! Stunning graphics are great, but gameplay and story must remain priorities. Balance is essential for truly memorable gaming experiences.

I agree that the emphasis on graphics can sometimes overshadow other important aspects like story and gameplay. Don’t get me wrong, visuals have definitely come a long way, but I think some developers focus too much on photorealism rather than crafting unique experiences. Games like Hades or Disco Elysium prove that you don’t need the most advanced graphics to create something memorable. Ultimately, gameplay and narrative should always come first.
