Accessible to indies and large teams" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *16 February 2019* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The engine is packed with useful features, but regularly gets major updates with significant performance increases and new features. This is thanks to Unreal Engine developers Epic Games still developing and releasing their own games, and feeding their fixes, features and improvements back into the engine. > > **Cons**: Some rendering features that offer creative freedom have been deprecated in place of rendering features that allow more realism. This can be a pain to work around if an engine update comes out that deprecates something that you use, and you need to go back and adjust your project to suit the new rendering feature. > > We moved to Unreal Engine for game development to try out their large, seamless landscape tools for a project. We've stuck with Unreal Engine ever since for their useful toolset, supportive team members and regular updates. ----- ### "Unreal is by-far the easiest and most intuitive game engine I've worked with as an artist in the gaming industry." — 5.0/5 > **Derick** | *6 October 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Implementing and working with art assets created in outside programs is very easy. The blueprint scripting features allow artists to code without a deep knowledge of scripting languages. This node-based coding is extended to their shader system, which allows us to build out material features with relative ease. > > **Cons**: Some features can change drastically or get clobbered with new releases from time to time. Their roadmap isn't always followed very well and some features can and do get dropped. Feedback can often be ignored on their message boards and is quite slow. > > The design features, whether official or created by the community, allow for a truly exceptional experience as a creative. I highly recommend this game engine for both expert and novice artists working on video games for any platform, whether that be PC, Xbox, or Playstation. ----- ### "Unreal Engine is incredible but not flawless." — 4.0/5 > **Mike** | *18 December 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Advanced rendering technology, a wide suite of tools, staying close to industry standard with all of its tools. Also, its open source code is critical to my work with Unreal Engine . > > **Cons**: There are far too many unfinished features. Also, the focus of recent developments has not been very useful for game development. > > Unreal Engine is essential to my work. It is very powerful, open source, and extensible. It is great to work with until you hit some unfinished or under developed feature which can be a massive roadblock. ----- ### "Good, useful ,user friendly" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 September 2024* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The first application I have tried only for learning programming I love features and interface of application > > **Cons**: It crashes some times when I opened Also it's not working for all types of phones > > Kinda good 😊 But not satisfied Waiting for the more features ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/158599/unreal-engine?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/158599/unreal-engine) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
