TopicAnimations matter more than graphics

For a game to look good

Things need to be animated such that you can get a sense of their weight. So many games have giant hulking things that walk/turn without any sense of weight. Or the character animations aren't fleshed out. Even tiny animations make a big difference.

Animations are what give life to the characters, more than how rounded they are or how much detail is in their skin

Animating the environment makes it feel real and active and alive.

A game can have realistic lighting, good textures, and hi-poly models, but if the animations are lacking or low-quality, it feels less realistic and engrossing to me than if it had crappy graphics but good animations.
