Realistic games look real bad in two years. Stylized games look good forever.
There are exceptions to this.
Though, most of those exceptions are just stylized games that looked bad when they were new. It's rare for "realistic" graphics to age well, and I suspect that, when they do, it involves at least a little bit of stylization.

That said, two years is a bit short. Forza Horizon 3 still looks fine, and it was released 5 years ago. (FH2 F&F, however, is just one year older than FH3, yet somehow it makes 1080p look like a gimmick. Budget is important.)

There are always exceptions, this is a rule of thumb.

    @BigOnYa well, starting with, idk which emulator should i use for switch, i got a gtx 1650, do you know which one would it better for my pc?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The switch emulators on pc rely on your CPU mostly, and they only use a single core, so GPU not as important as a good CPU. I don't use switch emulator, but many here do, and willing to help.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 do you want to chime in, don't you use yuzu or ryujinx? Which do you prefer?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Morganna I'd say try them both, and see which work better for your setup, good luck, and have fun!
  • Morganna @ Morganna:
    i tried just yuzu so far, not even played, just open the game to see if it run
