"It allows me to design and create games in a fairly simple way"
What do you like best about Unreal Engine?

It allows me to design and create games in a fairly simple and easy way since it is not necessary for me to know complex algorithms or a highly sophisticated programming language to make quite entertaining and striking video games in a simple and practical way, in addition to that its interface is quite simple and easy to understand, which greatly simplifies the duration of the development of a video game.

None, I have no complaints regarding the use of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unreal Engine is a very famous gaming engine."
What do you like best about Unreal Engine?

The amount of tools you get in this app is like no other. The ease of use beats every other platform out there. All the competitors are playing catchup with the ease of use in Unreal Engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unreal Engine?

There is always trouble with using 3D software, but honestly, if you work with the engine, the engine works with you. At certain points, there might be a small problem. The pivot doesn't stay on an object, but almost no one breaks it anyway. Lighting setup times and issues with the resolution of light masses can also be optimized, but they are tricky.

"Very robust engine"
What do you like best about Unreal Engine?

Graphics quality is amazing, the lights are very well made. It's pretty simple to use, it has a nice interface and the performance is great. It integrates with Maya so you can render the viewport with production materials and lights, it's also good to speed up render times for animations. Good for both games and animations. You can create AI even without coding, thanks to the blueprnits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unreal Engine?

The materials are quite nonsense, for example glass is tricky to set. There are no physical parameters to set, but only numbers that modify attributes in an arbitrary way. The sequencer is good to render videos of animations, but it needs some refine because sometimes the interface is not clear enough. Maybe not the best choice for small games.

"Still one of the greatest engines in the game development industry"
What do you like best about Unreal Engine?

Material editor is the best I’ve used! It’s powerful, flexible, and enables artists to do things no other engine does.

Also, blueprints! Incredibly powerful visual scripting and programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unreal Engine?

Sometimes features (like bokeh DOF) are deprecated with little warning or a suitable replacement. UE4’ is ever evolving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
