Cons Le build d'une scène devient très vite énergivore, il faut donc un très bon PC pour que celui-ci suive le rythme.Sa capacité à détecter des projets déjà existant sur un PC et à les afficher par défaut dans le viewer du logiciel laisse à désirer.

You can even try it for free to get your feet wet! Cons Intricate development can be tough because there's so much it can do. Customer service is also very hit or miss on several issues I've had over the few years I've used it. You never know what you're going to get. Review Source Hamid S.

You can easily reach the Photo Realistic vision in this engine. Its Valuable Licence is suitable for everyone (Indies, Big Companies,...) who wants to use this awesome Engine.

Digital Artist Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My experience with Unreal" July 30, 2019 5.0 This software is really nice and works great when it comes to big, long term, more professional projects and when you have a specialized team working on it. Not recommended for beginners looking to experiment or individuals who want to try and create a simple mobile game. This engine is meant for more AAA games and projects. If that is what you need, you will find that this software is amazing and offers really cool high-tech and high-quality tools and features. Pros \*It is super complete and has a lot of interesting tools and features \* High-Quality software for 3D projects \*Create AAA games \*Rendering tech is fast and efficient. Runs pretty smoothly \*Works for a team of specialized people \*Works\* with C++ Cons \*For simple games, it may not be the best software. \*Not recommended for a single person, more like a professional team. \*Intimidating interface \*Pricing may not be affordable for everybody \*Takes time to learn how to use it and master it, it is a specialized software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Animator Animation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Super Cool Software " January 12, 2023 4.0 it's so perfect for 3D engine integration,simulation and a lot more Pros I use it for game development.With this tool, I can do a lot like; build a simulation, edit video and also sound, and animations.

Student Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Unreal Experience!" March 13, 2019 5.0 I've played multiple games created from Unreal Engine such as Borderlands, Infinity Blade, Mortal Kombat, and etc which has been an amazing and crisp experience. Pros \-Has a very nice blueprint system that allows users to easily insert their ideas -Games created by this software have amazing graphics Cons \-Some of the games created from this software are unplayable for the majority by the fact that there are many implementations into the games that cause for only the small percentage of people to play. Review Source SC Sergio C. Ninguno Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Un software de altísima calidad " October 31, 2022 5.0 Pros Es vanguardista y natural, me adapto fácilmente y adictivo en algunos juegos. Se supo adaptar a los cambios Cons Que a veces sea lento/trabe nomas. Creo que lo hizo muy bien. Review Source FA Fatih A. Game Developer Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Revolutionary dimension" November 13, 2022 5.0 Overall, they have started to release linux binaries. Thus, one era was closed and another era was opened. Pros As a VR developer, I don't have much prose experience with real-time gi, but I really enjoyed lumen with engine 5. I can easily say that lumen is definitely one step ahead. it provides the artist with the opportunity to test the scenes he creates with a fast, dynamic and perfect feedback/result. Cons What I dislike the most is that for many years you have stubbornly not offered a prebuilt binary package for the linux version, forcing you to compile an entire editor instead, and allocate 100gb of space (for one version) to compile just for this job; A game engine that causes you to keep a computer that will also compile in order to change versions (both upgrade and downgrade) during the active development period.

It's a fantastic game engine with endless possibilities Pros It is very versatile and powerful. Offers great customization and tons of features. Even better that it's free Cons For beginners this can see like a very overwhelming program so definitely know what your doing if you're using this program Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Agent Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unreal engine is great for entry level to the most advanced game developers." February 27, 2018 5.0 Pros It's my favorite game engine because because it can be easily integrated into any game development pipeline. Cons There alot of settings and the workspace customization aren't perfect. It feels crowded and more than one monitor is highly recommended. Moving 3D objects also has a clunky feel to it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Customers support Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A powerful tool for Game development" March 6, 2021 5.0 For a graphic artist, the amount of feature is incredible. For a programmer, not a big fan of the C++ code. Pros This is a very powerful tool where the user's experience is pretty much the only limit. It produces incredibly photo-realistic content, the art capabilities of Unreal are pretty much unmatched for a talented artist. Cons It is very complex to achieve simple results, and overkill for small productions. Switched from [Unity](https://www.capterra.com/p/158591/Unity/) Existing source code for product was within Unreal Review Source Nathaniel Q. UX Designer Fine Art Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wow, this is unreal: the most powerful game building engine for free!" December 19, 2018 5.0 Pros It is robust and complete, and comes with everything you need to build a game from the ground up. Best of all, it comes with everything you need need for free - until you ship your game and then there is a 5% charge of your profits...... Cons It's intuitive and easy to use, but it is a deep rabbit hole and there is a lot to learn. On the plus side, there is a strong online community out there to help you and lots of tutorials and resources. Review Source Okwuchukwu N. Software Developer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unreal...in almost every sense of the word" June 16, 2019 5.0 All in all, this software is a very powerful work of art and I recommend it for high quality applications, be it AAA games or immersive virtual/augmented reality experiences Pros This is one of the most powerful game development engines I have worked with. It is quite easy to jump and dive into with little difficulty. Lots of tools to toy with and a lot of helpful templates to build up from, ranging from a simple first person sandbox to a simple racing game to a 2/2.5D template. Apart from this, they constantly keep adding new features and updates Cons Due to some emphasis on photo-realism and hyperrealistic rendering, it's hard to use this application on a low end device. Review Source Kristina J. Junior technician Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unreal is mostly used for making advanced 3D games. " December 3, 2019 5.0 It is very powerful engine and with enough knowledge you can make really great 3D project. Pros User interface is really friendly and it has a slightly bigger learning curve compared to Unity. There is an tutorial that comes with the unreal engine and basic projects that allows newbies to play around and explore. Also there is a bunch of online support and tutorials if you get stuck on your project. Its free up until the project you made starts earning money Cons Its resource hungry but considering that you are making a 3D game and Unreal gives you a lot of possibilities its only natural to use a lot of resources. Review Source BC Ben C. Founder Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pretty darn good engine. Perfect for 3D" November 2, 2023 4.0 I used it for 5 years but it’s a bit uh, big of an engine for me at the moment. I hope to improve my development skills and come back to it in the future. Pros I like how nice it looks. You can create AAA looking games. Also, this engine is quickly becoming an industry standard. Cons It’s still a bit complex for non-coders and the engine seems better fit for teams if developers rather than a single person in my experience. Review Source YE Yann E.

Consumer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unreal engine the original gaming engine " October 8, 2022 5.0 My overall experience would have to be amazing. The game was a big success and I had a wonderful time working with everyone to get it to where it was Pros This product was produced amazing results. It was my job to make a small game with a couple of class mates at one point and I was the project manager and I have to say the game that came out on the other side was amazing. I did oversee the build and talked to the team and there input was that the software was seamless once they got the hang of it Cons They told me that the software con produce some errors and stuff they had to look up while trying to produce the game.

Pros Da l’opportunità di creare cose complesse rispetto ad altri software, version control, tanti strumenti Cons Tempi di sviluppo lunghi rispetto ad altri software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Vr Developer Oil & Energy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game engine with uniqueness of its own" January 7, 2021 5.0 Overall Unreal Engine is really a great engine with some really great and unique features like the material editor or the option to visual scripting. Pros This game engine is certainly one of a kind, in terms of usability or visuals it feels very good. The unreal engine provides better visual performance than it's competitors and the visual scripting features makes it very easy for a non-developer person to build a game. Cons Though unreal engine is one of the best but the community backing it is not as great as it's competitors.The engine's lacks in terms of some basic features which makes it lag a bit.
