The Self Contained Game Development Tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eldy S. | GMC Developer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** It's a great tool if you wish to start learning about game development. The GUI interface and the intuitive design helps you a great deal once you get used to and know the what is where and what for, even if you don't know how to code,it's not the end of the world. You can still work around that and get started with the development. You can buy different assets to help you out during you development life cycle and don't have to make things from scratch, inventory management, combat systems, character models items management sounds to name a few. Its a great tool if you are alone just a few people working on it. And the best part you can really creat something beautiful and amazing. **What do you dislike about Unity?** Well The Learning Curve can be a bit too much for someone who is not really used to IDE's and interfaces like these, I myself am still learning and let me tell you sometimes things don't seem to make sense, but with time and good tutorial it can be done. The other thing is for 3d games well you need a high end machine. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** Great tool to start, if you are interested in gaming and game development. And The Basic version is FREE! **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** For now i'm just trying to learn game development so i can one day make my own game, i found unity to be a great starting point since its easy to use, once you get used to it, and unit can be used for multiple platforms. ### 2. App designing tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rav K. | Systems Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2020 **What do you like best about Unity?** great platform for designing mobile apps **What do you dislike about Unity?** bit complex and timely to learn libraries/programming structure. **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating mobile games and integrating in-ap purchases with ads ### 3. Steep Learning Curve but Powerful for Indi Devs **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** Unity is a no-nonsense software that makes it easy to get the base function of a game done. If you are trying to develop a simple game, then Unity has all the tools and resources necessary. Additionally, Unity is known for its developer community so anything that the developer doesn't know how to or have time to do can be supplemented by the asset store. Whether that be code scripts, models, art, music, assets, or environments, it's on the asset store. Because of this, making a simple side scroller or a 3d adventure game could not be easier. **What do you dislike about Unity?** When it comes to the finer tune elements of a game - elements which are pretty universal, there is a distinct difficulty in implementation. For example, some friends and I were trying to make AI characters which could path to the player around walls and obstacles. Unfortunately, this is best done with multi-threading, a thing that Unity just doesn't give the developer proper access to (the unity multi-task tools aren't true multithreading and take up too much cpu power). Additionally, environment-dependent camera controls and dynamic movement, which are surprisingly hard to code, don't have any base templates in Unity and have to be coded from scratch. Because of this, more sophisticated controls and movement require exponentially more coding knowledge. Though I'm sure there are options on the Unity Asset Store from experienced devs, just for a lot of money. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** Make use of the Unity Asset Store **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making video games. Does all of the base function, code architecture, and compiling for you. ### 4. Unity for App Building **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** PPN S. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** Ease of use, pre-made packages ( more every update too) ability to code once and deploy to multiple platforms. Great support and community to get help from, if needed. **What do you dislike about Unity?** Still lacking some polish and smoothness in the GUI. A bit of a learning curve like many other software of this type. Updates aren't compatible with previous saves and may cause issues. **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are publishing our mobile apps to the various app stores while using one build environment with minimal hassle. ### 5. Unity is the best indie game development engine one can ask for **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** I like the tools unity gives - apart from awesome lighting and particles etc tools like probuilder and the new 2d rigging system are super useful when it comes to small studios. Unity also enables you to create your own tools leveraging any unity feature so you can create pipelines that are super optimized producing top notch results. **What do you dislike about Unity?** Bugs that usually occur and also when we have to update to the newest version multiple bugs appear and it takes quite some time to fix. In some projects sometimes get stuck to one version due to that issue. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** There is a tutorial for everything - stop trying to re-invent the wheel **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Well if it wasn't for Unity we probably wouldn't have been able to release a game within less than a year (+port it to several platforms including Nintendo switch) ### 6. AR/VR/MR/Apps Whatever you need in software design Unity3D has it. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David B. | Simulation Engineer (Program Coordinator II), Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Unity?** Drag and drop GUI as well as a huge asset store of 3D objects and code. Cross platform development that includes consoles, AR, VR, and MR devices as well as IoT and proprietary hardware. **What do you dislike about Unity?** Training materials tend to be very outdated. The editor also tends to through errors that are not well defined in the documentation. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** Have a C# developer on your team or start learning it. **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Mixed-Reality development for educational environments. These experiences can be deployed on the Hololens, Vive, oculus, and a host of mixed reality devices. ### 7. What once was a lo-fi "prototype" game engine is now well into legitimacy and still soaring **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mason S. | Freelance Animator and Game Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** Very extensive documentation and help available online. Lots of tutorials and videos for starters. Plugin/customization potential. Huge shader customization potential. Evolving animation suite. Friendliness with other programs. VR integration. **What do you dislike about Unity?** C# is difficult to pick up at first, interface can be difficult to work with some times, "Project vs scene vs game" relationships were difficult to pick up at first. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** Be patient with learning how to code/script game objects, learn as much as you can about prefabs and embrace the power of prefabs! When asking for help online, learn to identify the specific problem rather than just Googling "Unity doesn't work". **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** VR solutions, indie game development, animation ### 8. Unity Review **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zijing L. | Teaching Assistant of Operating System Course, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** Their engine is free and easy to install, and so anyone can have a fully featured game development engine installed on their Windows PC or Mac (Linux support is also on the way) with a minimum of fuss. Just Google “unity3d download”. During the install process you can choose specific build platforms. Many are unchecked by default so be sure to read the list and take what you want. Android and WebGL are probably ones worth ticking. **What do you dislike about Unity?** Both game engines are extremely affordable, Unity gives you access to the free version of Unity, which is still a powerful engine. However, if you're a teacher Unreal Engine 4 may just come out on top in terms of pricing. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** You can implement Unity free if you want to try this software before you get it paid and do not worry because Unity Free allows you to publish on Android, iPhone and Windows Phone. Learn from official tutorial first. They are very helpful. **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Unity3D is a powerful cross-platform 3D engine and a user friendly development environment. Easy enough for the beginner and powerful enough for the expert; Unity should interest anybody who wants to easily create 3D games and applications for mobile, desktop, the web, and consoles. ### 9.

The documentation is exceptional and the Unity forums and stack overflow website have answers to almost any question on Unity development. This tool can also be used for simulation as well as for game development, expanding it's use cases to across a variety of fields. Unity is also very good for 2D video game development.

The documentation is also easy to get to, with relevant links inline with components in the editor. **What do you dislike about Unity?** I dislike the package management differences between versions of unity, but with the release of Unity Hub, and its fast update schedule, this problem is being minimized for future versions. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** Definitely go on the Unity website and do some of the tutorials.

Best tool for game development **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ferran G. | Desarrollador de videojuegos, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Unity?** It is an easy, versatile tool. Anyone with basic knowledge in programming can learn to use it in barely 1 month. The learning curve is appropiate and the possibilities are infinite. The comunity is insanely wide: you will always find someone in the official forums, or internet blogs, where you will be able to find any answer you need. The retrocompatibility with its own version also helps. Very practical for group working using git. Wide roaster of integrated tools that eases the works, for example: terrain generation, particle emiters, etc. Very good for companies that are beggining to work in the videogames. Better than other engines, which provide less comunity and less tools. **What do you dislike about Unity?** The actualizations can be quite tedious due to the limited download speed from their servers. Monovdevelop, the IDE provided for programming the scripts is quite bad. You need Unity pro for a dark theme. That is no problem for a company, but for indie studios can be. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** Learn the bases first before trying to do anything. **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is a great tool for people that starts with videogames, and also good for experienced people and small/medium companies. ### 47. The biggest and the greatest **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marti S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Unity?** Lots of tutorials around for beginners, what makes it easier to start. Unity Free allows you to publish games for Android and IOS wihout any limit. You can develop games and projects for lots of different platforms. **What do you dislike about Unity?** The graphics are not as good as other engines like UDK, which is way better. Limited functionalities comparing to UDK and CryEngine. **Recommendations to others considering Unity:** I think you have to start with Unity to see if you are able to develop or not. You have to test your own skills and Unity offers lots of facilities and tutorials around it. Unity community is massive, so it may be easier to start with it than with othher engines. You can work for free, but Unity Plus and Unity Pro are expensive. **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Basically I found it easy to start, and it allows you to have a good idea of how games are developed. For small projects is perfect. ### 48. Interesting fast software for creative games **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** Best application compared to others , effective for 3D rendering , easy to use and learn , reasonable price and visual platform is considered wonderful and that makes it love it **What do you dislike about Unity?** Movie texture is dealing with some issues as well as there is no current update for OpenGL Fir 4.0X. And the worst thing is it outdated documentation which I hate it most **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** The game development feature lets you build design and update the games in short time and effectively.since it is cheap compared to other apps , it’s movie texture has some issues which is considered important in development of games ### 49. Powerful video game engine for both professional and educational use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ramón T. | Instructor y responsable de comunicación, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2018 **What do you like best about Unity?** For my use, educational, it is a great tool that allows teenagers to learn the basics of programming with a real work environment in a field that is very motivating for them, such as video games. Having free educational use makes it accessible to anyone who wants to learn. On the other hand, by using languages like C#, it is a good introduction to "real world" programming, unlike most that are used for educational purposes. It also has an immense community of developers where you can solve practically any doubt. **What do you dislike about Unity?** That requires 64 bits. In many educational centers, with old equipment, they have remained on 32-bit versions. **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** Teaching programming in Secondary and High School from a playful approach that is attractive, unlike the curricular teachings that are usually imparted. It also allows for encouraging vocations among teenagers, as it is a real tool that has been used to develop video games they are familiar with. ### 50. love me some unity **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2019 **What do you like best about Unity?** i like how customization the interface is and how easy it is to get prototypes rolled out **What do you dislike about Unity?** its not the easiest to use if you are an artist compared to unreal. only because unity is setup to "build your own" **What problems is Unity solving and how is that benefiting you?** we are engineer heavy so it works great for us no issues for unity specifically ## Unity Discussions - [Is there a plan to make unity completely open source?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/50136-is-there-a-plan-to-make-unity-completely-open-source) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [will unity always will have only one language support?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/will-unity-always-will-have-only-one-language-support) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [Is Unity PLUS subscription need to pay monthly for a year?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-unity-plus-subscription-need-to-pay-monthly-for-a-year) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [What are the most compatible tools for models](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-are-the-most-compatible-tools-for-models) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [When is Unite coming to Greece?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/11942-when-is-unite-coming-to-greece) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Unity pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/unity/reviews?page=5&qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-26+14%3A40%3A16+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=943d3ae3-b6e4-4e17-8193-eb9d5ea1bdc5&secure%5Btoken%5D=070116b3365931fb65d2222addab25435f2226f22d26fff74901363786337009&format=llm_user) ## Unity Integrations - [Blender](https://www.g2.com/products/blender/reviews) - [Figma](https://www.g2.com/products/figma/reviews) - [Meshy](https://www.g2.com/products/meshy/reviews) - [Visual Studio](https://www.g2.com/products/visual-studio/reviews) ## Unity Features **Design** - Sculpting - Topology - Drawing - Brush Variety - Effects **Visual Fidelity** - Rendering Quality - VFX Quality - Texture and Terrain Quality **Generative AI** - AI Text-to-Image - AI Text-to-Video - AI Text-to-3D **Generative AI** - AI Image-to-Text - AI Text-to-3D **Move** - Animate - Render - Views **Creation Tools** - Cutscene Creation - Shader Creation - AI Control - Animations - No-code Creation Capabilities - Team Collaboration **Agentic AI - Animation** - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Store & Manage** - Pipeline - Controls - Template library **Generative AI** - AI Text-to-Image - AI Text-to-3D ## Top Unity Alternatives - [3ds Max Design](https://www.g2.com/products/3ds-max-design/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (276 reviews) - [Maya](https://www.g2.com/products/maya/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (260 reviews) - [Blender](https://www.g2.com/products/blender/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (306 reviews)
