About
Graphics Are So Impressive These Days refers to an exploitable four-frame image featuring a close-up of the eyes displayed in video games like Hellblade, Horizon and The Last of Us Part II. The image was posted on Twitter / X in early June 2024, with the fourth frame in the graphic comparison montage being replaced by ironic images featuring games with other types of graphics, some of them being more abstract or not ultra-realistic, to make fun of the examples in the image.
