With pathtracing the shading and materials in moden games looks detailed and cohesive.
Raster and most RT games look like the left side of the picture to me. They have an overall impression that is flat and gamey.

As far as the The Half Life 2 remaster is concerned it could use more geometry and a more interesting design of the world in many places. Individual objects are detailed but the game world looks old-fashioned.
