> Of course graphics should not obscure the game's goals.

Indeed, you might say in that case the graphics are of high quality! Low quality graphics can easily detract from gameplay.

I think there are two definitions for "graphics quality" commonly used.

- Realism, as used in this article.

- Aesthetics, an example of which would be Team Fortress 2. By any definition it is not a very realistic game, but it still has very well-made/high quality graphics (before hats, anyway.)
