The ray tracing in minecraft looks awesome. But so far it isn't coming to Java edition.
What you speak of isn't mutually exclusive. You can have good games with good graphics.
Icing on the cake. No point in promoting great graphics if the foundation is crumbling. It's not all studios but even gears 5 had fucking microtransactions.
Until recently I have stuck to a few PC games that I've played for years. Sometimes picking up an additional game from Steam. For the most part I have avoided the crap you're describing.
I did pick up a Switch for the kids on Christmas (the last console I bought was the N64), but the Nintendo games have been excellent so far.
