I'd say that there is a line, up to some point graphics matter, but if the gameplay is good enough that the game crosses said point, then it can carry the title by itself.

This thread is already much longer than expected (and yet shorter than I would've liked to write) however, there are a couple of titles that I didn't feel like writing whole dedicated paragraphs for but are also somewhere on my watchlist. So in no particular order, these would be:

Naughty Dog lost a lot of goodwill from their fanbase over the last couple of years, but if they focus on delivering on the trailer's promise and give us Uncharted in space I definitely want to see more.
(Also - Tati Gabrielle is cute, the animations look goood and I LOVE our handler's voice).

Finally... product placement the game. But in all seriousness apart from the whole 'wokeism' debacle we have on our hands, I think that the trailer for the game while not showing much, promises a lonesome galaxy adventure set in the 80s - which sounds just peachy.

Capcom again trying to hit us in the feels with a reboot from 20 years ago. While I've never played the original, I can easily get behind the idea of Japanese folklore, animal-centered game, especially with such specific design and art choices.

Invincible meets 9-5 corporate job in a satirical setting. With the team that had their hands in the creation of The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands behind it and a star-studded cast, I hope it will be a wild, choice-driven game we've been missing since the era of Telltale.

The trailer looks clean, it's climatic, slow, like an old mafia movie. Devs reassure us that the game will go back to the roots of the series but there's a catch. It's not being developed by Daniel Vavra, the guy behind the classics. And Hangar 13's track record isn't great...

One more revival of a solid classic, this time a racing game. Sadly, all we have is a short teaser trailer, rather than anything on the game engine. So far it combines anime aesthetic from NFS: Unbound with Grid's city races & destruction, but once again, we have to wait for more info.

Dying Light was always more about gameplay than the story. And boy, could we see it in the second game. The Beast was originally going to be a DLC, however, plans changed and now it is a ~ 18hrs standalone title that supposedly goes back to the roots of the series. We'll see.

Origins is a reboot of a classic series, last installment of which was released in 2008 (2019 was a mistake). Alas, the trailer does not look too fresh. The question that presents itself is whether Saber Interactive can make the gameplay engaging, or is it just a nostalgia cash-grab?

Project Century is a new, brutal entry in the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's portfolio. The title is likely going to be set in an alternative version of history in 1915 Japan - and while what we see in the trailer is made with pre-alpha footage, the atmosphere seems to be immaculate.

If the first title did not interest you, there is a high chance the new one is not going to do anything for you either. The early access date is set for Q1 2026 since the team's still working on the last chapter of the first game. More of the same, now with added co-op.

Nighreign is supposed to be a new breath in the From Software portfolio by allowing players true co-op for the first time - in roguelite style. While I would've preferred co-op mode in the original games, short runs, and Miyazaki's blessing are enough incentives to try it out.
