I think Starfield has the best lighting I have ever seen without ray tracing. The reflections in puddles of water on Neon are so good.

Better than Cyberpunk without RT? Note, I haven’t played both games, just a question

I haven't played Cyberpunk yet, so I can't say.

I found it the worst.

It felt like everyone was sitting under their own personal spotlight. And it’s so harsh on the eyes.

Really? I'll have to look at the puddles when I get there; I was disappointed to see that mirrors don't work.

You can do mirrors without raytracing by using a second camera, which is also how Portal does the seeing-through-portals trick.

I was on an icy moon today orbiting an orange gas giant that had full sun. The colour of the planet was reflected in the dark blue ice - it was stunning!
