Nothing really needs to look better than Gothic 1, maybe some more physics in there. Half Life 2 still looks really good and that's two decades old at this point.
I constantly use Half-Life 2 as an example! Especially regarding faces and facial animation. "Why the fuck is this running at 25fps when Half-Life 2 looks better and ran on my 9500GT"
There's a like a period of visual improvement for about 15 years after Half Life 2, basically none of it really worth it, before it turned into using AI to do some bullshit and now every modern game looks like you're having a migraine
