I’d argue that Minecraft and Stardew Valley do visually look good. Looking good doesn’t mean that it has to look like a AAA game with realistic graphics. Very old games like Super Mario Bros 3 look great even today. Pixel art games if done with care look fantastic. What I didn’t like about this game when looking at the trailer on Steam is that the world looks barren - specifically, look at the 35s mark on their Steam video. I see that there are some other visually appealing scenes in the trailer, but some scenes just look unfinished. I agree I was a bit harsh, but the couple of close-ups in the trailer left a really bad impression on me.

I think we all know trailers can be deceiving. They can make a poor game look good but, I guess, at the same time make a good game look bad.
