Let me get this out of the way right away: graphics arent everything.
To be clear, not all of these games are bad games either.
A lot of them have great gameplay, but made the list for some graphical missteps.

Its fast and frantic gameplay made it a must play for many gamers in the 90s.
Numerous sequels and spinoffs followed, but for a whileQuakehas been relatively out of the picture.
When it was recently announced thatQuakewas coming back, I got excited.

Then I saw the first gameplay trailer.
Lets just say my enthusiasm was dampened slightly.
Lets just hope the gameplay is as fun as we all remember.

14H1Z1: King of the Kill
Wait!
I can hear you saying: “Hasnt this game been out for a while now?
I thought this was a list of new games?”

Well, yes and no.
Technically, this game isnt even out yet.
Its pretty fun stuff.
Unfortunately, clunky animations and bland environments are abound in this game.
Its still very popular and consistently one of the top streamed games on Twitch.
With all that popularity, youd think the developer could hire enough people to actually finish the game.

Aegis as they explore the galaxy and encounter enemies, all from the comfort of a VR headset.
The whole idea behind VR is to provide a more immersive experience, right?
How immersive can a game possibly feel when a game looks this bad?

But what happened to those people!
They look more like clay animation imitations of people than the real thing.
They are the top selling game every year, with a new edition coming out yearly.
And to a point, you would be correct.
The campaign certainly has its pretty moments.
I can already hear some of you saying, “they do that so the multiplayer runs smoothly!”

Yeah, I dont remember either.
In fact, most of the games here look like they belong on a PlayStation 2.
The word remaster seems to have taken on a new meaning in recent years.

Well, not good enough for me.
Which is why its on the list.

Gamers play arcade-style 2 on 2 basketball with plenty of ridiculous moves and dunks to get crazy with.
From the little thats been released so far, the graphics on this game actually look really good.
The animations are fun and fluid.
The courts and background have lavish detail.
The reason why this one makes the list, however, is the terrible design on the players.
Perhaps weve reached the uncanny valley here.
The players look realistic enough, yet with giant heads and it just throws everything off.
I mean, look at Russell Westbrook’s face in this picture.
Honestly, it’s a great idea for a game.
Unfortunately, I knew this game was in trouble from the first reveal trailer.
Unfortunately, for a game, that is not going to cut it.
When it finally was, the reception was mostly positive.
From the way he runs to the way he climbs Trico, the boys movement just looks bizarre.
You play as Noctus who, along with three other companions, is trying to reclaim his kingdom.
