I would say It Depends. I play almost exclusively indy games and yes AAA graphics aren't what I'm expecting.

But some indy games just look like the dev threw the sprites together in less than half a day and it can be offputting. Dated can be ok, but rushed and butt ugly... Hell I almost skipped Rimworld way back when because the visuals looked so lazy.

The gameplay has to be really freaking fantastic to cover that up. In Rimworld's case it was.
