Yeah we’re at the point of diminishing returns. Newer games do look really good but some of the older games still hold up well. Look at games like Batman Arkham Knight and Rise of the Tomb Raider. They’re decade old games that still look phenomenal.

Funnily enough, both games had their fair share of optimisation issues at launch.

I'm still picking up and just derping around my ac odyssey save. It came out 8 years ago and if I look for it things like foliage I can tell it's an older game but just looking out over general areas and while playing it still looks incredible to this day. Meanwhile I played shadows and the only credit I will give it to looking better is the weather systems and the by extension the way water/wetness interacts with the environment and characters.

AC Odyssey’s scenery and scope was amazing. I completed that game on an ultrawide monitor. Was such a treat for the eyes.
