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.
