Is it me, or are new games graphically underwhelming?

I've been looking at new games for PS4 and Xbox One, and even for Wii U.

Almost all of these games are graphically underwhelming, and many of these games are on-par with iPhone-5-like graphics, or even less.

"Super Time Force" is a high-rated game for the Xbox One, and features NES-like graphics (better, of course, but the game's graphics are underwhelming even for a mobile phone).

Even New Super Mario Brothers you could use more graphical enhancements (its graphics are on par with Wii's Super Smash Bros Brawl, which is by now a thoroughly last-gen system).

Resogun for PS4 is basically a 2D shooter that barely uses ANY of the PS4's computational powerhouse. Forget PS4, this could probably be run on a PS2.

Transistor is another game for PS4, again, barely taking any use. Could be made for a Gamecube, I bet.

Sparkle 2… Closer, but still not using enough of the PS4's potential. Sparkle 2 is something that could probably be processed by the Wii U, and the Wii you is a baby compared to a PS4.

Am I crazy, or are games these days graphically underwhelming?
They take no advantage of the beastly powers of Xbox One or PS4
