No complaints from me and never will be. Its great > > UE4 and UE5 are still just hands down the standard gold star for graphics and gaming development ----- ### ""Unbelievable Features with a Curve"" — 4.0/5 > **Arron** | *October 10, 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is utilized in film, architecture, the automotive industry, and virtual production, in addition to gaming. > > **Cons**: Unreal is feature-rich but can feel intimidating at first — especially for beginners or small teams. > > “Unreal Engine is a powerful and adaptable platform for 3D projects, games, and films. Its Nanite and Lumen visuals are stunning, and its Blueprint system makes visual scripting simple. Though it has a learning curve and high hardware demands, its features, community, and flexibility make it worth it.” ----- ### "Unreal Engine since 1998 : What a phenomenal Engine push the limits" — 5.0/5 > **Joe** | *March 31, 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nanite by far is the best thing that revolutionized high polygon game renderings. With GPU's pushing insane graphics capabilities there is no limit to a game developer or even movie productions > > **Cons**: The learning curve is step, and the breaking changes just puts you off delaying progress. > > I'm in awe in every release from 5.0 to 5.5 how they keep pushing this engine to the limits ----- ### "Simple and helpful" — 4.0/5 > **Thomas** | *March 20, 2019* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy of use To create simple or more difficult games 2D or 3D games Multi users > > **Cons**: Difficult for publishing on multiple platforms Multi users is long to setup ----- ### "A very good 3d and game creation software" — 4.0/5 > **Samuel** | *July 11, 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like this software due to the quality of 3D models you can create in it. Never had to use customer support due to never had any problem when using it.It offers free usage if wanting to try it out I used the free due to not using it all the time. Security never had a problem with any leaked data or anything of the sort.But can say if you are into creating games it's definately worth trying out if you haven't already. It also has Real-Time 3d rendering for the data visualization part. > > **Cons**: The only thing I didn't like is how complicated the interfaceis cause it's definately overwhelming and can be complicated for beginners like it was for me.But like any other platform until you get to know it you'll get use to it and work your way through it and learn where everything is. > > My overall experience was a good experience due to after learning where everything was and watching youtube videos of how to's it came around quickly and learned to love the software like I do with everything I learned over the years. And like I said it's free and does have a pay side if you want the better experience. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/158599/unreal-engine?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/158599/unreal-engine) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
