The next gen realtime 3D Engine - A bug leap towards the future of 3D and Media

  • December 21, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about the unreal engine is its stability and productivity. It is remarkable how drastically it is changing the industry users to move into real-time 3D environments from traditional 3D. It will change the 3D and VFX Film industry forever with toolsets like UE5 Virtual Productions tools, Lumen and Nanite etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
With more and more stuff for the end users getting added to the engine, somewhere, it requires extra resources to keep the performance high and thus, it lacks some stability which leads to random crash reports or unhandled errors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Unreal Engine is solving is the way real-time 3D worked till now. The Engine can now handle high poly meshes such as Zbrush sculptures directly out of the box with the help of Nanite. While on the other side, real-time global illumination with the use of Lumen is drastically changing how users traditionally spend hours doing that work which can be done in just a few minutes now.

High level game design software

  • December 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is the best software of big game designs. It allows high level graphics for game. Also it allows game studio for desing characters and game modes. This is big software that all the developers use to create games. All the big games like PUBG, Free Fire, Fortnight, Gotham Night, Redfall.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I dislike in this software is that it has too much power and memory consumption software. Also it is too costly to buy. Low powered PCs not working properly for this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unreal Engine has problem in execution and rendering related. If you build execution you cannot do anything at that time. Also interface is bit confusing. Changes in interface may be beneficial.

Unreal Engine has generated growth in my experience & Workflow, I can recommend!

  • November 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the best game creation tools is also used to create simulated environments, I believe it is one of the easiest tools to use and when you have difficulty, it's very easy to find help.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback i faced lots of time is that the lagging issue, when we add assets to the unreal engine project it lags a lot & also when it comes to rendering or executing a build the computer cannot be used for another process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since Unreal Engine's renders are of very good quality, we use it hand-in-hand with iClone. We create the animations in iClone, then use the live-link feature to send the animations over to Unreal Engine for rendering

Unreal Engine Review

  • November 15, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The software is fantastic, and easy to create games and design environments inside it. It also allows you to do user friendly programming using blueprints & node based setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few glitches in exporting and rendering the scene sometimes when the processor has so much geometry to calculate. Also, it requires high-end GPUs such as RTX cards which are not easily affordable by everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It improved the lighting issues compared to the previous releases. The best things most beneficial to its users are the new geometry handling system Nanite and the new lighting system Lumen.

I've only used it briefly, but I feel it's an amazing tool!

  • November 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unreal Engine is an amazing development tool, and I love how it has a very visual programming capability, making it easier to learn how to use it even if you don't have a lot of programming skills. I really like that it has a very active community and that's relatively easy to gather information online depending on what you are trying to achieve. I've only used it briefly, but I coordinated multiple projects that used it as the main development tool, particularly VR projects that my team developed. I also like that the tool keeps getting updated from what I saw in the media. It's getting more and more robust, allowing for incredible visuals for games and VR projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I can remember is that it required a robust computer to run it properly, however, I'm guessing that just because we were using it for Virtual Reality projects that alone would require strong hardware. I can't remember any other issues or things that I dislike about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem it was solving is software development focused on Virtual Reality applications, particularly with the incorporation of gamification elements. It also solved the problem of not requiring much writing in a programming language, as its visual interface helped to explore the elements more easily. The team I coordinated had previous experience using UnrealEngine, which made it easier to achieve our goals.

Create your dreamworld exactly as you imagine with UE5 beginner friendly open world game engine!

  • November 01, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Being free-to-use software, UE is both beginner-friendly and the most versatile platform for game design and architectural visualization! with the new UE5, Nanite & Lumen features available to explore :D
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of using this powerful software is that you need a powerful laptop. Although it is the same with all game engines similar to UE, designers won't mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being AR/VR architect, it is must need the skill to develop as a game designer. Being confused about what software serves my needs, UE felt like a no-brainer! Developing different skills for more challenging work.

I LOVE Unreal Engine!!

  • September 16, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Well, the best thing is Unreal Engine is free unless you publish some games. And, of course, the modeling tools are powerful!!! This is the first tool I used to learn digital modeling.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be steep. Modeling is always tedious and detail-focused. But there are thousands (maybe too exaggerated) of online classes you can do to master it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a powerful modeling tool for developing games, and I love seeing the final result.

One of the most powerful engine for game development

  • July 29, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The use of particle system with minimal optimization is great. Its rendering pipeline has also been updated which in results generate great graphics for the user.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its User Interface is a little but difficult to understand as compared to that of Unity as a beginner in gaming engines. Otherwise, it is the most powerful gaming engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a VR developer, I use Unreal Engine mostly for VR development and I haven't faced any performance issues yet. With the updates they are releasing, they are increasing the graphics quality with minimum processing power. Also the blueprint is very useful tool for designers and non coders

Good for high end 3d/AAA game dev but not as performant for mobile and low-end

  • May 19, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

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.
