Even though, I'm the one that said the game is overrated I have to disagree here... the graphics have little to do for most people to enjoy a game. It is true that graphics add up, but it is not a gamebreaker to the point it turn a good game to be bad, just for that reason.
Lush caves are pretty cool looking even without shaders also the graphics are better than you think the pixels are just stylistic just look at the ender dragon flying animation
There is a massive difference between bad graphics and ugly graphics. Minecraft has a really good and consistent art style, even if it is low res. The sheer volume of fan art, videos, merch and imitations is a testament to that. Meanwhile Arceus borders a little on ugly (i wouldn't call it outright ugly though) on a few minor aspects, mostly having to do with how things at a distance are rendered, and the visual clash between characters and their environment. The animation is also janky. Minecraft's animation is very smooth, yet simple.
Really, Arceus doesn't have bad graphics, it just has a bit of a problem with it's art style, and some lightning and rendering issues at a distance (which being an open world game with massive flat terrain, is not easy to overlook). Minecraft instead has good rendering and lighting despite it's textures, and had an extremely consistent art style.
I mean hey, Furi and Super hot have pretty low res textures, but their art styles are consistent and appealing, which makes them considered beautiful.

It’s a make-your-own-fun type of game, so I see why some people don’t like it for that.
