If ray tracing can give me back the fun of tunneling through the ground with explosives that the first Red Faction games let me do, I will 100% change my mind on the technology. I have missed 100% destructible environments.

Several new or in-development games have it. I’m playing Enshrouded right now and it’s really impressive how good both the destruction and the building is, easily the best I’ve ever seen. And they just showed off the upcoming update with full water physics:

The lighting is also superb, IMO, though I’m not sure if it’s actual ray tracing or not.

  Is there a story or what’s the gameplay like? Can I play by myself or must I work with others?

    Think Zelda. You can play with others but it’s fine solo.

That absolutely is something that Ray Tracing could simplify/enable, yes!

It’s not that ray tracing is a gimmick, it’s more that modern cards still aren’t powerful enough to fully trace every ray, so some cheating is still done with baked lighting I believe. Plus a lot of devs might not have gotten accustomed to using it properly yet.
