What do you like best about Wwise?

Pros :

- the easy integration process through Unity and Unreal game engines.

- the possibility to program easy to highadvanced interactive audio in a fully standalone application.

- the user-friendly interface and interactive audio programming possibilities offered without needing any coding skills.

- the abbility to program very complex systems, whether gamer-based (interactions, footsteps, weapons, etc.) or environment-based (complex ambient systems, day-night cycles), using a variety of tools (containers, randomizers, switches and states, RTPC,...).

- the online support and documentation, very rich, helpful and up to date.

- free usage for non-commercial and academic projects, otherwise price adapted to the cost of production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wwise?

- lack of support for certain contexts (indie game engines like game maker, godot, construct, no web GL support).

- lack of built-in granular tool (useful for some specific sound generating such as engines). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wwise:

- This software is the perfect tool when you have someone dedicated to audio, as it allows this audio tech to work without being necessarily on the game engine. Consider having at least one person dedicated to audio-music implementation who can handle all the wwise part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wwise solving and how is that benefiting you?

- I suceeded in creating fast a convincing interactive audio system without access to the game engine, and integrated it fast.

- The sonic experience is way more rich and resourceful than with most built-in sound engines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
