April 19, 2021 4.0 I am dedicated to everything that has to do with multimedia design, so any medium that can generate growth in my experience is always welcome. I thank unreal engine for existing and being able to give us the opportunity to create virtual spaces in a comfortable way. Pros I am using this program recently, I am impressed by the level of detail it handles and how virtual environments can be created, I like it because it is multiplatform, that is, it can create my experiences on cell phones, PCs or other devices I like it because it is free and it is fair that you have to pay when your project is commercial, which allows you to feel new to be able to explore many things. Cons The weight of the projects is very large, it takes up a lot of space, there is not such a large community to consult things, despite this it is a good program. Review Source TC Tracy C.

Network Engineer I Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Epic - Lives Up to its Name!" March 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Ever wanted to become a game designer or even just dabble with the idea? Look no further! The Unreal engine has been setting the benchmark for gaming for years and there's a good reason why - it allows you to create breathtaking games with \*relative\* ease. Cons As with any 3D rendering software - you'll want to check out tutorials online to not only help you learn, but to also unlock the program's full potential. The Unreal engine is a beast - enjoy!

Student Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unreal Engine Review" December 18, 2022 5.0 I love the experience with UE, i used it to make a Game and a Simultion, wich both where funny expereince ,in the UE and i never had problems that where on the UE side more on the knowledge side. Pros There is no need to code wich is good for beginners that cant code in c++. I personally still like coding more also the new UE5 is just overwhelming with all the possiblitys one has. Cons Like i said the only con would be C++ for beginners. Switched from [Unity](https://www.capterra.com/p/158591/Unity/) Gain knowledge of other Engines and get to know the capabilitys of them.

Software Engineer Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect Even for Begineers" December 16, 2018 5.0 Pros I was able to do a majority of the functions that we needed with the blueprints scripting feature. This made it easier for even our art teams to digest the info at a glance without knowing about coding. Cons There's a percentage royalty that they ask for on your released projects and some other tools don't ask for that. Review Source CH Carlos H. Hairstylist Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Unreal engine review" November 29, 2022 4.0 Flawless Pros The graphics are unreal, always pleased when I see that a game has made by this company Cons Amazing fun games, I've had many hours of playing their games Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Client Service Representative Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best experiences for making 3D games." February 13, 2018 5.0 Pros The graphics it outputs are amazing. It is easy to combine with other development tools. Can start working for no cost, getting your toes wet very easily. Visual coding is a game changer. Cons Have to go to third-party sources to find sufficient tutorials. Because blueprint is proprietary, the code is not easily transferred anywhere. A large screen workspace is almost required. Review Source KO Kevin O. Fortnite Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing" July 31, 2020 5.0 Pros i use this everyday to play a game from the epic games store. Cons May have a few bugs that are very annoying. Review Source Favio R. Project Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Interesting alternative for Architectural Virtualization" January 16, 2023 5.0 One project and one product developed. So far so good, it was well received by our clients. Pros The powerful engine delivers amazing results for architectural virtualizations especially in interior tours for our clients. Even if this software is not naturally intended to be for architecture and more for game design, it worked as charm for us and delivered a disruptive product for the market. Cons It is not easy to use and we needed to hire someone who knew the software and was able to develop the virtualization we needed for a residential building. Besides that, it is just great.

PAC Coordinator Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Free game engine AAA titles use" June 26, 2018 5.0 A free game development engine that large game studios use to create AAA titles. Pros a free game engine used to develop quality games. There are a lot of free resources available for this engine as well. Easy to use and user friendly. Cons There is a lack of training and instructional videos for this game engine. Compared to other game engines, this one should have quite a few more. Review Source JB John B. Graphic Design Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Design your game, not the engine." September 5, 2019 5.0 Having a quality engine with many resources available has cut an unimaginable amount of time and stress from my project, as well as giving me the support to not give up in frustration. The support links and staff were a huge help when needed. Pros The availability of so many resources allows you to work on your product instead of all the micro-tools you will need prior to designing your game. Cons It's a little overwhelmin at first, it's not that you can't understand it as much as each project is so different they can't "click to build" their console, making it difficult to find your starting steps. Reason for choosing Unreal Engine In doing research, this company seemed to be the most dedicated in helping the user complete their project, not to mention they are one of the most used engines out there. Review Source Daniel E. Game designer Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Good and a decent game engine " November 15, 2018 5.0 Pros This engine makes us to learn more about gaming and optimisation in gaming . The result of one project gives the most likeable graphics and we can too adjust lightining too , assets too makes the engine looks perfect and good for working . Tough to learn but if learned its very handy to use. Cons Some times engine will crashes , while doing the project . Review Source SM Spencer M. Key Leader Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A powerful engine that is free for hobbyist and trial user to try out and stretch their wings." March 14, 2018 5.0 Pros It is a powerful gaming design engine that boast a huge array of feature. From creating simple smart phone games to blockbuster games, this program can do it all. With the ability to design using real time graphical editing or the ability to behind the scenes and edit the code itself, it is great for novices and experts alike. There is also a create community behind it and many tutorials. Cons It is a very steep learning curve to begin using it in a practical sense. When you first load it up, the screen is bombarded with windows, and tools, making it very confusing to make sense of it all as you start. The real time graphical editing also is resource hungry on your computer resources, so I reccomend using a modern computer.

Cons Game materials and designs are great I really appreciate. its easy for the beginner and for good knowledge! Review Source BD Binigya D. Game Developer Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Blockbuster AAA game engine " December 7, 2020 4.0 Using Unreal Engine has been a marvellous experience so far. Even though getting started has a steeper learning curve than other engines, it is well worth the time and effort invested. Unreal Engine lets you make games with fantastic graphics and without code, via Blueprints. It has greatly reduced the time taken to produce good looking prototypes and full games. Pros What I like the most about Unreal Engine is that its graphical prowess is unmatched in the free-to-use Game Engine market. It excels in providing dazzling shadows and lighting out of the box and its version of Visual Scripting aka Blueprints, is by far the best visual alternative to coding. Cons The mobile platforms support is less than sub par, and exporting your games to mobile platforms is a pain point. Also, even though the learning resources are increasing, it still pales to Unity. Finally, AR support in Unreal is really concerning as Unity is ahead of it by leaps and bounds. Review Source Lloyd R. programer Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Unreal Engine" October 9, 2019 5.0 Very easy to use for new programers that want to make games, visual scripting so you don't have to know how to program to make a game that you want to make.
