Good for high end 3d/AAA game dev but not as performant for mobile and low-end
What do you like best about the product?
Has beautiful, if overhyped rendering out the box, the engine has powerful plugin capabilities out the box and blueprints are intuitive for non coders (even if they do cause spaghetti code with noodles of wires everywhere)
What do you dislike about the product?
For some reason it includes the SteamVR plugin out the box which always fires up steamvr on launch of the engine. Blueprints may look simple but cause spaghetti code. Not all post processing that is on by default is needed or performant on low end devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High end 3d rendering and VFX production for our 3D team. We don't touch Unreal with a barge pole if we need to do any coding or AR/VR apps we use Unity for that instead. 3D team enjoy using Unreal as they find it easier to use out the box.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the samples such as architectural/vfx if they suit your project and let your 3D team have a go with it first to see if it fits their needs as we didn't find it adequate for highly coded projects or AR/VR.

Unreal Engine for school learning
What do you like best about the product?
As schools today bring the development techniques used around the world to help in different fields such as medicine, science , and many other fields Unreal engine represent an impressive tool for young students to start learning early access that can help them in their upcoming future
What do you dislike about the product?
unreal engine always require high pc specs to handle the updated features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unreal engine can help my kids open their eyes on how they can use it to achieve faster and better ways to start their digital projects
Unreal Engine - A great engine for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Unreal Engine's visual scripting language - Blueprints. When I started off in game development, I had no idea what I was supposed to do and had little to no programming language, so blueprints was a blessing to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some occasional bugs that sometimes ruin the experience. Random yet infrequent crashes and a bug with dual monitors and some graphic cards make it annoying to use in certain cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work at an indie game development company, and Unreal Engine helps ease a lot of the work that needs to be accomplished during game development, and it does so in any easy way.
Community-Powered Possibility
What do you like best about the product?
I love the content hub. Unreal is a powerful software with a lot of paths to take. I'm new to the scene, but the learning center has over 160 hours of content to get you started and hand hold newbies for a bit. And you don't need to think about resources; just get in and start your idea or fumble around a bit and experiment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Royalty setup seems invasive to a company's financials. Though they did increase the royalty standard above $3K every quarter to being exempt on the first $1 million sales, you still pay the 5% on the quarter due every 45 days while sending in a royalty report. All in all for using a free product with that powerful engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking to streamline my idea for a card game. I wanted to go the route of Unity at first, but it also has a lot of heavy load I noticed from titles I enjoy. With Unreal I'm learning different coding techniques and am able to quickly string together my concept in a way that stays visual for me.
Best 3D graphics engine for PC and Console game development.
What do you like best about the product?
Unreal has the best lighting engine as compared to others and its pipeline is best suited for large teams and more optimised for PC and console game development.
Unreal engine marketplace is also a great place to find assets and tools that give the unreal engine an edge over others.
Unreal engine marketplace is also a great place to find assets and tools that give the unreal engine an edge over others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unreal engine is still limited when we consider 2D and mobile games, it is not optimised and lacks many features for AR/VR and mobile platform development, Unity does that better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently working on a game that is being built using Unreal Engine from scratch, it is being made by a team of 10 people at XorPhilic, the organisation where I work. I have realised that the tools that Unreal Engine provide are of great use especially for PC game development that we are targeting, Unreal engine marketplace also helps us a lot for the 3D assets. Overall, it is a great 3D engine that is perfect for teams like us.
Ultimate solution for game development
What do you like best about the product?
I like the rich platform and its easy to use nature
What do you dislike about the product?
Writing a script is still a complex process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I created a demo game for the internal purpose of my company for a proof of concept project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend using the unreal engine to develop games. Some of the big Games in the industry are created on top of this platform.
It is very reliable.

Best graphics for a game engine
What do you like best about the product?
Unreal engine is quick and easy to use, it has an ample amount of features and functionalities that can help a beginner as a well as a professional and multiple aaa games developed in unreal engine only helps in cementing its reputation. Ue provides multiple platform support which also is very convinient to port a game from a console to a mobile device.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though ue provides the best graphics it lacks in terms of compatibility and stability, its competitors have a larger userbase that helps in solving all kind of problems which is usually quicker than support. Though ue has multipe platform support but the stability is not so good specially for mobile devices where a lot of work needs to be put into it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unreal engine has been a pivotal tool for us since it doesn't even needs coding expirience since the visual scriptiong that it provides is comparatively easy and can be easily taught as well. Unreal engine has helped us in making our game look more attractive and from a user perspec more engaging.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to make beautiful games easily then this is the best choice

It lets you create high value products
Unreal engine: Getting close to perfection
What do you like best about the product?
Unreal Engine is an absolute pleasure to use. Its real-time design provides instant feedback on changes, updates, and edits on every aspect of a scene in the editor. The aspect I like best is easily the lighting engine. The instant feedback and real-time update, even on a moderate system, is a dream to work with and constantly inspires me to want to create more art with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I can state I dislike would be the node material editor. It's not very intuitive and the names of nodes needed to build a material do not match anything in any DCC I have ever used. That one element makes the learning curve for it rather steep.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unreal Engine lets me prototype and interact with a design before developing it further in DCC software. Being able to develop something like a city street concept and then move around in it naturally provides an excellent viewpoint that is difficult or impossible to achieve in 3d modeling software.
