Unreal Engine Reviews & Product Details

The best i like about Unreal Engine is its real-time render option that allows us to judge how the real output will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using it from last 1 year. I don't face a single issue in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

unparalleled graphics, robust features, and user-friendly interface redefine the possibilities of game development, offering an exceptional and empowering experience for creators of all levels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upgrading projects to newer versions of Unreal Engine may occasionally introduce compatibility issues with existing assets or plugins, necessitating additional work for migration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Unreal Engine is how known it is, and there are a lot of courses for a beginner to use. It is as easy to install as a game, and if someone is well-versed in 3d modeling, it would be easier to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I did not like is that you need to have an excellent PC to do anything worthwhile on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The photorealism and amazing lighting system . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface has a learning curve and materials system although robust is very tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very user friendly for beginners and even more so for users with experience in other programs that use the 3D space! As an artist, I'm able to get the desired look and style I aim for and UE provides a great platform to explore all you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires a fairly good computer or laptop to run or else it could bust your cooler fan like it did to mine even on medium to low settings :( I'm not sure if it'll be possible but I'd like to see it run smoothly on computers with average specs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Unreal Engine is its versatility for almost any use case, be it for visualization or programming. This is my go-to when I need to kick out a high-quality render for a 3D project or rapidly prototype a new interaction system for an immersive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Unreal Engine gets constant updates and new features directly from Epic, some plugins and features that are created by third parties can be slow to upgrade to the latest engine version - which can be annoying when wanting to transfer older assets or projects into new engine versions.

The best thing about the unreal engine is its stability and productivity. It is remarkable how drastically it is changing the industry users to move into real-time 3D environments from traditional 3D. It will change the 3D and VFX Film industry forever with toolsets like UE5 Virtual Productions tools, Lumen and Nanite etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With more and more stuff for the end users getting added to the engine, somewhere, it requires extra resources to keep the performance high and thus, it lacks some stability which leads to random crash reports or unhandled errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For beginners, their team provides great support by providing so many tutorials to make it easy for us to learn how to operate it. It works excellent for rendering real character photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the main problem I faced while using Unreal Engine is a lagging issue. It lags a lot of times when I was working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's versatility, you can make any kind of application if you put your head to it.

It's flexibility and out of the box quality is why I will always recommend this program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can be quite large in file sizes, if only takes a couple of larger projects for your PC to be full. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want to preface this review with the fact that I have been using different versions of the Unreal Engine for over eight years. My professional experience is primarily in User interfaces for games on PC and console.

UMG (Unreal Motion Graphics):

UMG is excellent for prototyping and getting ideas out there. Using UMG goes especially for those who are not comfortable working in code. If done well, UMG can be very powerful. Developers can debug, add breakpoints, watch variables and change values at runtime to see how it would affect the game.

C++ / Macros:

C++ in Unreal is somewhat like simplified C++ due to the macros and garbage collection. In conjunction with UMG, developers can fully unlock the engine's potential by empowering designers, writing tools and shortcuts.

Ease of Use:

Plenty of tools are built into the engine to make one's job easier. For example, the localization tool will gather the text the developer defines and put it in a PO file for localization in targeted languages. One can build for multiple platforms at once with a click of a button. The new and upcoming CommonUI features make creating UI a dream.

Documentation:

Documentation is phenomenal! Epic hosts official documentation for multiple versions of the engine. In addition to this, the forums and StackOverflow has an abundance of knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alongside the great features of the Unreal Engine, there is a pitfall. Some tools exposed in Blueprint such as bindings are not very well optimized. Giving newer developers these tools can be detrimental to performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
