Examples of foliage that doesn't make a game look worse?

Seems to always just make a game much harder to read
e.g.,

looks really bad

Hmm in that one it looks like it's because the contrast and sharpness? Also doesn't look like there's any ambient occlusion/ shadows underneath the grass which makes it look flat and out of place.

I really like the grass in TW3, it looks nice. ESO's grass is okay but they use 2d sprites for it.

I hate grass that looks 'wet' or is highly reflective like in ghost of tushima or cell shaded games like genshin for example.

Gamedevs are truly autistic nerds who pretty much never touch grass.

Foliage is the #2 thing you can add to make a game look better. #1 is rain.

Original one is better. Clean.

Actually, the bottom one might not look so bad if it weren't for the haze covering everything. I'd still prefer the top one, though.
