Top 10 Video Games That Proved Graphics Don’t Matter
Video game graphics have gone from blocky polygons to ultra-realistic in a span of just 10 years because of which a lot of people judge a game based on how good the graphics are, which just means how realistic it looks.

So to prove that games don’t necessarily need ultra-realistic phenomenal graphics to be good, here’s a top ten list of games where the graphics were just an added bonus to the gameplay and instead of being the main point of the game, were a very wonderful tool for world building.

This is all based on my personal opinion, which will differ from yours so please, don’t come at me with your pitchforks.

We have a contract with the people who go online with us, that we look after them and they are within the PlayStation...
