Game Description

Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city's defenses and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

About Quake II RTX

Quake II RTX builds on the work of Christoph Schied and the team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, who added ray tracing to Quake II to create Q2VKPT (in turn building upon the Q2PRO code base). NVIDIA has introduced new path-traced visual effects, has improved texturing, and has made dozens of other changes and improvements, resulting in an experience that rivals games created today, and pushes your RTX hardware to the limit.

Quake II RTX is fully ray-traced and includes the 3 levels from the original shareware distribution.





Purchase Quake II: Quad Damage to access all levels from the base game as well as multiplayer support.

Not good enough!

The levels weren't developer with RTX in mind, so the game basically brings all the RTX flaws to light. No music, too.

3060 definitely enough (and fun game)

The game is fun, though I like quake III arena the most. Don't know what setup the other guy has but I get super stable 60 FPS (vsynced) with maxed out settings with a 1200p monitor and my 3060. Some people really really hate RTX technology for some reason. Like, it's the natural development, we're not in first RTX gen anymore, get used to technical advancements. Just because you have been conditioned by unrealistic lighting doesn't mean it's better. You are just used to it. Can't believe hating RTX is still a thing.

Poor

I never was impressed with the Quake series even back when they were new. In 2002 (as it says on the store page) this would have seemed out of date even then. Nevermind 21 years later. The gfx are butt ugly and so dull and low poly, and the gameplay is tedious run and gun fps with boring, dull, tedious maze like maps. Sounds are just the odd "oooh" "aaah", like some under the counter nasty gay porn VHS tape. No music whatsoever. After quarter of an hour you will be thinking "what is the point of persevering with this?". I only gave it two stars because it knows it's actually monetary value. ZERO. It's free! So you have nothing to lose and may as well try it.
