Just a little. A small amount.

Indiana jones game is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and the implementation of this fad tech is actually impeccable

Yep. Most of the ray tracing before 2024 games were “oh we can add this in!”

Not “we can design materials and world around this” and then work backwards for non-RT.

As I remember it being cool in Control. But that game had RT as a bonus.

Assassins Creed Shadows makes great use of Ray tracing with the light/shadow stealth. Yes it can be done without Ray tracing, in fact I think it is bubbles with light Ray tracing logic that isn’t much beyond splinter cell.. but it’s still impressive.
