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 ----- ### "Unreal is by-far the easiest and most intuitive game engine I've worked with as an artist in the gaming industry." — 5.0/5 > **Derick** | *October 6, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Implementing and working with art assets created in outside programs is very easy. The blueprint scripting features allow artists to code without a deep knowledge of scripting languages. This node-based coding is extended to their shader system, which allows us to build out material features with relative ease. > > **Cons**: Some features can change drastically or get clobbered with new releases from time to time. Their roadmap isn't always followed very well and some features can and do get dropped. Feedback can often be ignored on their message boards and is quite slow. > > The design features, whether official or created by the community, allow for a truly exceptional experience as a creative. I highly recommend this game engine for both expert and novice artists working on video games for any platform, whether that be PC, Xbox, or Playstation. ----- 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
