How it feels

A fast, violent retro shooter with dramatically enhanced lighting and reflections that make every surface feel real and immersive.

What players say

Players treat it mainly as a free tech demo for ray tracing, not as a definitive way to play Quake II. Many feel the RTX lighting alters the original art direction, and some prefer the official remaster for its preserved visual style and features.
