It is a great tool for the entertainment industry

  • May 02, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It provides a great interface with a wide variety of tools that can be used by, anyone, from a beginner to a professional.

Compared to its competitors it provides better visual technology and material editors which come very handy from the perspective of a game designer.

Unreal Engine also offers visual scripting which makes it very easy to code a game even for someone who has no past knowledge of coding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unreal Engine is not as flexible as some of its competitors, and even though it has been available for a long time the community is not as widespread and it is more focused on people who already have some experience in terms of game design development use it for building.
The pricing of unreal is also a little confusing tho it is free to start they charge you once the game earn revenues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped solve a lot of problems since it provides great visual and easy level designing it can be used for creating life-like simulations that can be played.
If the VR plugin is used and the material editor is used in the correct way the simulations created can mimic real life and the person can literally forget that he is in a VR simulation.

Powerful engine with a few quirks

  • March 19, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unreal engine is a great prototyping tool with the blueprints system it is simple to reuse code to enable different functionalities across the board. This allows for a designer to quickly test and experiment with new designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue with unreal is how heavy is can get on the system. Each new project can easily get to 5 GBS of storage space used without much added. In the long run with many projects this can lead to storage issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unreal helps me level design and refine my work with its great tools and free monthly add-ons. With all these free assets I can experiment with many different ideas due to assets helping with core functionalities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is to understand blueprints and the basics of unreal start with watching a few tutorials to ease yourself into the program. After which you can start to experiment and develop a deeper understanding of unreal.

Unreal will give you amazing visual quality right out of the box

  • March 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unreal engine can look stunning.. and i found that the ability to achieve impressive visual is much easier than other game engines like unity
What do you dislike about the product?
Unreal uses C++ and it can get pretty daunting and has a pretty steep learning curve
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used unreal mainly for VR. And the visual quality was much higher than i was previously able to do in unity
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Unreal engine is an amazing devtool for games and other simulations project. But from my experience if you building a 2d game or targeting mobile platforms mainly then I think unity would be a better fit

I can recommend you to study shaders because it is a very powerful tool for good optimization
