We aren't expecting too much to change in combat and objectives, but an enhanced story paired with stunning models and visuals. Mythical auras in the locations can create challenging puzzles and the potential to unravel more of Senua's dark past. It presents surfaces that are ideal for battlegrounds. The environment is ideal against the previous mechanics. The black sands and volcanoes confirm the location of the game in Iceland. The colors are dark, the atmosphere is livid, and it sets up yet another tense journey - a story that hasn't come to fruition yet. Much Celtic chanting and emotional facial expressions lead to the climax of harrowing Norsemen hanging limbs and marching towards something. It’s a graphical feature that can have superb results, granted, but developers have become so skilled at creating convincing lighting and reflections in their games that ray tracing doesn’t always have the dramatic impact some might expect.Much like the first game - the trailer presenting the second part is intense.

RT performance modes in Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart do a great job in achieving this, and some titles like Metro Exodus hit 60fps and offer ray tracing to boot.īut right now, ray tracing feels like it’s a step too far for consoles, at least if you value performance. Of course, it would be nice to have the extra bit of subtle eye candy that ray tracing can provide and hit 60fps.

Something which I really don’t want to change. One of the best aspects of the PS5 and Xbox Series X is that the majority of games either target 60fps outright, or offer excellent performance modes.

After pining for more 60fps titles on consoles for the past few generations, there’s no way I can stomach going back to the sludgy, unresponsive feeling of 30fps unless I have absolutely no choice – especially as PCs have been capable of hitting 60fps for over a decade now.
