About Quake II RTX
Fight through alien-infested military bases to save humanity in this fully ray-traced remake of the classic sci-fi shooter. NVIDIA's cutting-edge path-traced graphics and enhanced visuals deliver a modern visual experience that pushes RTX hardware to its limits.
Quake II RTX is a cutting-edge, ray-traced reimagining of id software’s old school classic, by NVIDIA’s Lightspeed Studios. Global lighting effects, including realistic reflections, refraction, shadows, ambient occlusion and global illumination are a result of the path-traced simulation of light. Relive Quake II, enhanced with real-time ray tracing.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Quake 2 is one of my favorite games ever and this is free Quake 2 and you can turn RTX off. Lets talk about RTX, Its nothing special, games found ways to cheat the system and have same or better looking reflections and light in games and with much better performance. RTX even at 120fps, HDR and 4k just does nothing for me, its cool to look at, like an experiment but I do not need or want it in my games, I would much rather play normal Quake 2 or Quake 2 xp [mod] or Quake 2 Berserk [mod] they look and run better, RTX also creates AI slop like noise especially if you use any kind of upscale combined with it this will double the noisy blurry effects. I tested this on RTX3070 and 9070xt.1 found this helpful

Quake II original was awesome at it's time of release, but THIS is how it SHOULD have looked!
Half the graphics menu requires a master's degree in optical physics to understand
Nice visuals, some of the darker areas does feel very much like Doom 3 but even more immersive. However I believe this release has some bugs, like enemies sometimes get stuck on things, sometimes they are very slow to react and the hitbox feels a bit off too. The Nightdive's remade is much more refined, but this one is free so it's ok.
there is no sound and I couldnt find a fix.
