With unreal I enjoy the interface and absolute power that the engine is capable off. Easily guide through the engine, buildings decent looking worlds with no effort. For the novice, it can get so easily complex, blueprint editing, material building, and animation workflows gives you free rain to produce unreal results. With the amount of control and graphical capabilities, unreal has become my main render software when creating new characters, environments and props. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are always pet peeves with using any 3D software, but with all honesty, if you work the engine the engine works with you. At certain points there might be a small issue; pivot not staying on a snapped object, not almost none is deal breaking in anyway. Lighting build times, Light mass resolution issues, again can all be tweaked but finicky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unreal is very easy to use and will accommodate both seasoned vets and beginners alike with it's easy to use C++ visual blueprint scripting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For it's lengthy existence it has a rather small knowledge base and some specific tutorials might be harder to find but they are growing their knowledge base every year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UE4 comes easy to use for most users like myself who are not coders. There is adequate documentation and already set-up scenarios for most use cases where I can implement my own changes and have a usable product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unreal can be resource heavy and crash quite often when performing complex tasks. Support isnt the greatest when having an issue, you have to depend on online assistance from other users while waiting for your ticket to be seen and reproduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile side of the engine is lacking some features and takes long to test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a good option for beginners because you have the blueprints, you have good tutorials for free and the community it's nice the forums and the examples and free project are really well and the assets store has a lot of free assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes you have problems with the cross between Mac and Windows, and inserting coding for specific functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unreal provides a stable and dependable platform to build quality games. I love the visual quality and the realistic lighting. Unreal has a very good balance of having all the necessary features to start building games while still allowing for customization. Because Unreal and plugins for Unreal are written in C++ it is incredibly easy to find or write code to do tasks that are beyond the ordinary stuff. I Love that between the market place and the built in Unreal apis and libraries I can always find what I need to build whatever is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes have issues with getting useful information out of the error logs in the console. In particular, when packaging a game, cook errors will often output a nondescript or generic error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Epic gives you full access to source, pass on relevant tools they create for their own projects, and offer extensive notes and documentation. We have yet to run into a problem that wasn't either explained in the docs or described and solved in the vast and accessible community forums. The developer community is great and the depth of experience that can be taped through them is impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unreal can be difficult to approach for smaller teams with less experience. The visual scripting system called Blueprints can be arcane and difficult to work with at times which I can see some getting intimidated by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it by default applies post processing effect, which I think is best part and make it different from other solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It demand high system requirement, which I think is the biggest drawback as compare to other Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very powerful lighting/rendering/surfacing engine, Blueprints system gets you up and running quickly, customization potential, online support is extensive, lots of documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Purchasing plans are confusing. Marketplace is not as extensive or user-friendly as Unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest draw for me is the level of quality that you can achieve with UE4 as a realtime rendering solution. I also like how robust the toolset is and how many possibilities you have when creating a VR experience. Additionally, I think there is a great community around UE4 and they have a great library of learning resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the current lack of integration with architecture software like Revit. While a plugin has been developed for the datasmith toolset that allows for this connectivity, its evident that Epic still has a long way to go in its development. The biggest thing I would like them to include would be some sort of live sync between Revit and UE4 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
