The ground terrain has some bad aliasing. Someone forgot to enable mipmapping and anisotropic filtering?

Not sure, it was snakku recording this one and I don't check my settings when recording either.
Fun fact though, in Unity, setting up filtering is NOT a default global setting you can access and change on the fly like in sensible engines, meaning that devs will have to stick to either point/unfiltered or bilinerar or trilinear and set up anisotropy manually per-texture, like so.

This means that if a dev decides "I guess we doing retro look", you're stuck with it (think System Shock remake), or have what we had in our early days, which was a mish-mash.
I've spent a bit of time adding this setting into peri and it was worth it. I personally don't like the chonky pixels but people do appreciate the option and I often see screenshots with them.

Mipmaps are always on, tho.

The trick is to select NEAREST for magnification, but something like LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR for minification. That works for the retro look.
