actual working anisotropic filtering. this has actually broken with a lot of modern games and modern gpus.

Because they don't look like one of two things
1-unity garbage
2-hyperrealistic slop

Less polygons means the surfaces are flatter and the textures are more clear.

no PBR, no shitty postprocessing making the entire image muddy and low contrast

lighting baked into textures, so it's free detail that takes up no rendering time at all.

>no pbr
i don't have them anymore, but i redid a couple of old game textures with pbr, and it looked fantastic. just gotta do it right.

Modern games are regressing visually so it looks good by comparison.
