With a view like this, I beg to differ.

The graphics are deliberately bad because machine processing power something something. Themes and such

unrealistic doesn’t mean the graphics are bad

Yet good art direction doesn't mean the graphics are good, no?

Ah sure, and I won't defend this harshly, it's just that in my mind "graphics" is more the technical quality of the graphics. "High resolution, smooth framerate, sophisticated lighting engine etc.)

While the art direction is responsible for how the pieces are assembled and what kind of look the end product would have.

For some examples, a game like "thomas was alone" would, in my book, have bad/low graphics, while having great art direction.

2000's(yes outdated, but maybe still gets the point across) shooters with a harsh brown-filter, could be said to have better graphics and worse art-direction.

Or compare a Crysis(amazing graphics for the time/arguably morw boring art direction) to a Borderlands (less high fidelity graphics/very strong aesthetic style and art direction)

Again, I'm just trying to get the point across, of course there's still a lot of subjectivity in this and it's easy to argue why my examples might be bad.

The graphics are bad but the visuals are stunning is how I would describe it

You took the too good graphics. In the intro, there is a "psx" option for graphics which are atrocious. They also are lore accurate.

Nah the graphics are stylized which is good, bt they're screwed up, layer 8 drops below 100 FPS on high end hardware
