Doom II: Ray Traced Comparison Video Highlights Stunning Visual Improvements

A Doom II: Ray Traced comparison video was shared online this week, highlighting the stunning visual improvements the path tracing mod brings to the classic game.

The video, put together by Cycu1, does an excellent job showing not only how stunning the game looks with path tracing but also how much the atmosphere is improved, making the game almost feel like a horror game at times. Sadly, path tracing sometimes makes it difficult to spot enemies in the dark, which is expected, but it's only a minor issue compared to how much better the game looks with path tracing.

2024 and 2025 are setting out to be great years for fans of the series created by id Software. Besides Doom II: Ray Traced, the official re-releases of the first two entries in the series were launched earlier this month. They will be followed by Doom: The Dark Ages, a bloody medieval take on the series formula, which will provide more frenetic demon slaying sometime in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.

The latest main entry in the series is Doom Eternal. You can learn more about it by checking out our review.

Doom Eternal is a brilliant game, one that is a worthy successor to the previous release. While the game does stumble here and there, trying to be something that it really shouldn't be, the outstanding gameplay more than makes up for any issues. Going by the campaign alone, Doom Eternal is well worth your time and money, particularly so if you liked Doom. I'm not sold on the multiplayer, as it feels just a bit too threadbare.
