A remaster of Quake II
This special release of Quake II includes the 3 shareware levels, but with extensively reworked graphics and codebase to make use of Nvidia's ray-tracing technology in their contemporary GeForce RTX 20 series of graphics cards. Quake II RTX is a cutting-edge, ray-traced reimagining of the old school classic. Global lighting effects, including realistic reflections, refraction, shadows, ambient occlusion and global illumination are a result of the path-traced simulation of light.

Quake II but now in RTX! Is the RTX good? I dunno, I turned it off. This thing can barely emulate Mario Party 4, leave it alone
what if quake 2 still kinda sucked but looked wet and slippery
Nope, still the same, shitty Quake II.
Rated based on quality of remaster
what if every texture was olive oil
The hardest workout for my RTX 2080 yet - Resi and DMC flew through at 100fps plus but I really had to pare back the settings and resolution for this! As a shooter though it's still really fun. Sure, the rocket launcher's a bit rubbish and you don't move that fast, but the level hub system still works really well, the rest of the guns are great and once they patched the music in it brings a lot to the game too. The RTX effects manifest themselves in some surprising ways sometimes, but always in a "oh yeah, I guess it would do that, that's cool" sort of way. A fun glimpse into the future and a great trip back to a classic FPS.
