An easy and clear interface, you can customize it and start to develop and create awesome games. Any style of videogame with 3D or 2D view, RPG, Shoot-em-up, platforms, etc... A lot of tools will help you to explore the posibilites of this software. Also combined with a the best code editor, develop great scripts is posible. The asset store give you optional elements to made your project greater, and you can buy new stuff for it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some times you need a fast computer, a lot of ram, gigas of free space. A good equipment is necesary to work correctly with Unity. Sometime the updates requires some change in your project configuration. If you want to develop for multiple platforms, you will need some extra free space in your hard drive, because this extensions need sometime gigas.
Also de PRO prices are to expensive for small bussines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very easy platform to use. All the options are there and no one needs to struggle to find buttons. All the things are clearly separated and is up to the mark. The main thing I like is the themes light and dark. As I am a specs person I need fonts to be clear and the is best in unity. The unity is also robust to use on any good config system. The files are easy to port and transfer. The project folder structure is also very well arranged. I really like the maximum of the features of unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some time what I feel is that the library integration is the struggling part. I need to add and search library and need to install it. It fails sometime and need to do it again and again. And some time the scaling of the graphics lags a lot.
That can be improved. One more thing that can be improved about the unity is that it must give some documents and video to start guide. The documentation seems very complex for the new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Ease of use
- Cheap and indie friendly license
- Newbie friendly (even someone with limited programming experience can use it)
- Pretty good asset store with abundance of contents and tools
- DOTS is a game changer
- Pretty good tutorial
- Multi platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Can be reverse-engineered easier
- No access to constructor and destructor of the Monobehavior class so Dependency Injection is hard to do
- The Linux Unity editor is not on par with the other platform's
- Scene files are hard to merge and to fix the conflicts within Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the best thing is that you recover your thing if that software crashes. It is available in the student versions as well. it is giving actually the platform for the young creators to have a skill in it. and doing these stuffs your coding skill and designing skills are drastically improves. and coding is actually becoming a very important thing for the future.it has a personal animation feature which reduces time of animation of first animating in any software and then importing that animation in it which is a real cumbersome task.

every time i start i have to login, it dosent save my creditials which is really a frustating thing for anyone. it has a very less set of short cut keys which consumes time. it dosen't support amny other programming languages like python, c , java, c++. it has only given acces to the most basic c# programming language.

The best part about unity is the ease of access and the vast community it provides and apart from the support for both 3d as well as 2d game development it also provides tools for easy development in the field of AR and VR. The other great feature of unity is that it can be used by a beginner who does not know anything about game design and a pro who works on a AAA game equally. Even though unity is considered a game engine for beginners it has given some great AAA games which have gained great praise and popularity for example - Ori and the blind forest, Hearthstone, Cuphead and the list goes on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Comparing to other game engines in the market specifically for 3d game development, unity lacks a little in terms of texture and materials and that takes away the realism from the visualization which is a result of an outdated graphic engine. The animation window also has some flaws which should be addressed . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unity has the single largest userbase of any game engine, almost half a million active developers, which means any problem you run into, is almost certain to have a solution because someone else has probably run into it before. Add to that the intuitive UI and massive array of free and paid assets and you can make almost any type of game imaginable with Unity. This is why I'm using the engine on my own solo indie game dev projects. The results possible with Unity are simply staggering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While some of the weak spots in comparison to the Unreal Engine like absence of a built-in visual scripting system have now been addressed (Hello, ''Bolt' scripting!) other things continue to require paid assets, there are a plethora of them but the cost does add up if you are trying to attain anything approaching AAA quality in the engine. That said, a lot of them were well worth it, so I am not really too upset. I will note that Unity has had a fairly slow and glitchy string of lighting systems over time, they've kept trying to improve things but it is still not all there. Maybe if they have any sense they'll acquire NGSS2 and Bakery as those are two of the best paid assets ccurrently filling the void left by the frequently problematic and not yet full-featured built in lighting and shadow system.

The platform is easy to use with a customizable dashboard which allows multiple operations especially where games development is concerned.
They also have great and commendable features which are also in plenty even in basic free versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most common and discouraging challenge is the customer support team,it's a hard to reach them while in worst cases its impossible . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love Unity, and I use it for all of my development. I have been using it for years and have purchased thousands of dollars worth of assets to help further my business' creations. I recommend Unity to everyone from beginners to experts interested in making any type of game. However, I would not recommend using Unity until they fix this bs customer service that they have. I am about to move to Unreal Engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I hate that Unity's customer service is the worst I have ever had to deal with. I emailed them a week ago about my account being locked out due to their stupid website refusing to send the code to my email. I have thousands of dollars of assets that I need access to a WEEK AGO, and they refuse to answer any of my emails!!!! I would not recommend using Unity until they fix this bs customer service that they have. I am about to move to Unreal Engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The people group and assets are enormous so much are based on Unity nowadays that you have a huge measure of information accessible online to shield you from stalling out. That additionally implies there are heaps of games out there you can get motivation from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the custom coding apparatuses outside of their work process gave me inconvenience yet once more online assets to the salvage! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about Unity is the availability of plenty of great features in even the basic free version, enormous community support, presence of tremendous learning resources, rapid development with efficiency and comfort for developers, ability to design multiplayer games, high quality visual and auditory effects, powerful and stable code as compared to others, dominates the entire domain in the global market. A lot of marvelous games like Angry Birds, Temple run are developed using Unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Difficult to develop and collaborate with bigger teams working on shared projects, expensive license, memory limitation occurs sometime while importing the assets, more suitable for small scale ideas as compared to large scale projects, some game engines provide a much more satisfying experience with graphics, consumes a lot of space.

Unity is a great tool for designing multiplayer games with high visual and auditory quality, with its wide variety of functions that allows you to develop games and animation characters Unity is very easy to learn to use and adapts very well to your expectations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
one of the few cons I have is that if I don't have a very powerful computer it stays behind, which makes its use a bit more complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The community and resources are huge- so much is built on Unity these days that you have a vast amount of knowledge available online to keep you from getting stuck. That also means there are lots of games out there you can get inspiration from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the custom coding tools outside of their workflow gave me trouble but again- online resources to the rescue! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the best thing that i like about unity is the support that you get when you are in a doubt with some issue that you are facing while developing as in you get tutorials videos which becomes efficient to work on with the community. Another thing that you would like about is the user interface that is really user friendly and makes every game developer very easy to work. Unity Keeps on developing new features into it which makes more comfort to work on with especially for a new developer like me makes you easier with some inbuilt textures and inbuilt filters helps you to enjoy your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing to dislike about unity as its really efficient for a beginner but talking about premium features where you get the most of the applications features is bit more costlier which is not a con as of now where unity gives much more platform besides the premium one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is one of the best software amongst its peers. I have created Some gaming designs and animation characters using this when I was in my college days and we had to make a project in the 5th semester. Apart from that, you can have a functionality of AR/VR i.e, Augmented, and virtual reality. so you can do some fun projects with that. Also, you get a complete package to create a good lighting, Rendering, Modelling, and animation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's such a versatile software. there are very little things that one can dislike about this software. one of which being its cost.. second of which is the ease of use. I personally feel that designing the architecture part is not as good as some other software. but at the same time, it is best for gaming and animation designing.

What I like about Unity is that it helps you create 3D interactive games with self or with the help of other members. It also lets you publish your work on different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unity has been good to me this far. And if I ran into any problems customer service is there to help and guide me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unity is very fast to prototype in. It also boasts of a very large asset selection. It is widely supported by SDKs and obviously has many tools. All of this make it a very complete tool for game development and one worth trying out if you have wanting to make games. Even if you are not that much of a technical person, developing a game isn't very hard in Unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Too many tools, sometimes hard to know which tool to use for a particular feature. Large signal to noise ratio. Some parts of the engine don’t feel like they have been designed for scaling of teams. (eg merging scenes, version control). Scenes that get marked as dirty by looking/selecting something in the scene. It’s getting better now and I do like their current direction.
Newer features coming sooner in the form of packages to get user feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately development has gone in every direction and many features get started and never finished. Sometimes it is obvious that the people making the engine aren't using it to make large games. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the features in this program. i did experience a bit of a learning curve but nothing that cannot be learned. Once you are up and running you can do many things almost intuitively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
