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

I've never considered raytracing a fad tech. It's always been extremely capable but you need a graphics card that's specifically built for it.
There are some strange mistakes in some of these images though. For example the lamp shadow in your last image is the most glaring one:
So I have always been a nerd for shiny games since the 90s and always sought out the latest hardware to look at shiny graphics. The move to ray tracing however for quite a while really disappointed me until this very game. The implementation of even path tracing in cyberpunk is just not that good and whatever unreal 5 is doing looks like noisy horeshit.
This game is the only time I've seen all of the last 6 years of developments come together into one coherent product that actually feels like a step up from what we had before.
Have you looked at the new AC? I watched this video today and it reminded me of this conversation. Thought you might find it interesting as I've been VERY impressed by the effects they've achieved especially with the size/scale they deal with.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I know it's cool to shit on Bethesda here but imagine a first person game in Beth's style looking this good. With the ability to pick up all the objects on that shelf in the last image and move them around.
Reminds me of how Skyrim has a special torch that casts environmental shadows and looks really good, that I can only assume isn't available in the final game because it tanked performance on 2011 PCs.
