CryEngine Reviews & Product Details

CryEngine is an engine designed by expert developers and delivers tools that other engines do not exactly have right off the start. It is one of the most powerful engines out there available for free. Also 5% royalty applies when you ship your project. Your first $5K annual revenue per project is royalty-free. So it is great for a first time project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not as intuitive as Unity or Unreal but they do have a very accessible knowledge base and tutorials to get started. They may not have as many tools and assets available on their store as other engines but have enough for any project to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software brings my imaginations alive. It has got the nest platform for all game developers out there who want to bring their imaginations alive and the most important of it all is that everything is easily accessible from the source code, to numerous tutorials to a great team of developers that are ready to support you with your own project. Further still it is highly improved all the time to give any would be developer limitless comfort in achieving their project goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been some flaws in some documentation but other than that it is great software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tutorials shown in the website are very explanatory and really useful resources for starting using the app. It's very easy to use even if you're not a programmer, because it has a lot of graphic tools and features that allow you to create a complete level from scratch.

As a level designer, there are not so many tools available for creating the white-boxing stage, however, it's really easy to create open levels. But it really feels the lack of a tool such as the one from Unity called ProBuilder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The editor is very easy to use, unlike some other competitors in the market. It has very intuitive and simplistic layout. If you already know how to use another game engine, you won't have issues with CryEngine. It has a lot of power when creating landscapes and ambients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Flow Graph ain't as powerful as the blueprints in Unreal Engine, e.g., even if you can create a lot of things with that, there are better tools out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The developers behind this engine are solid and want their platform to be accessible. This business model coupled with a great engine are what make me a happy user of cryengine. Beautiful physics, graphics, and development platform for all your game dev needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only complaint with this engine is it seems to favor Nvidia builds over AMD. This is probably just how each are designed and doesn’t correlate to the platform though. I really like this engine and don’t have many complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
