The pricing is great for indies as UE4 takes a rev share only if the product goes above a revenue threshold. As with UE5 that threshold will be 1 mil $ and let's face it, what indie game will make it so far? And then it's supposedly 5%. UE4 has everything you need for big 3D projects: \* coding close to the machine in C++ so you can go almost as deep as you want \* the software itself can be shippe with the source code so you can alter it \* if you prefer a less code heavy approach you can use their blueprint editor which acts like a flowchart \* great animation tool with easy to use blending \* free forever assets from the UE4 team and as well as from the community monthly (this is really amazing compared to the competition, you can just hoard assets for a whole year and when you decide to get into it you'll have so many free things to choose from already) \* easy networking and they don\\t ask that you use any of their services \* a lot of guides and tutorials both from the UE4 team as well as from the community \* a mature community (compared to say Unity which got a lot of their developers through viral youtubers showcasing games made in Unity) \* a lot of paid (and free) assets to choose from > > **Cons**: Unreal Engine being so complex and close to the machine requires a lot of time even for the most basic of actions unless you have a super powerful computer and I think this is the biggest con with the software. Other cons are the following: \* bugs, as the competition has them too, though it seems to me that UE4 has a bit more \* crashes, it crashes more than Unity at least on my computer which is not too powerful actually \* would have big problems running on laptops compared to the competition (Unity) \* weird interface, not too consistent \* bulky interface, a lot of buttons everywhere and I find myself not using half of them \* big installation size which can become a problem if you keep a few versions up (to open different projects and not have to migrate them) \* very rarely, assets from the store are discovered as being fraudulent \* wonky for 2D, a project like that needs way more work than Unity \* launcher is kinda laggy > > Unreal Engine 4 is great and we love it because we're indie and we don't really want to have more expenses that we require. It's basically a full program with everything you need for 3D game development. Their asset store with free and paid assets can save up so much time\! And the animation blending tool is amazing, if you can find it cause of the heavy interface that is. Prototyping can be kinda easily done using the blueprints and it could have no coding involved if one chooses so. ----- ### "Unreal Engine is your next 3D game engine\!" — 4.0/5 > **Elijah** | *15 August 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Unreal Engine is a great game engine for developing AAA games. It is very powerful compared to other 3D game engines. It can run code in C/C++ or in the visual Blueprints code. > > **Cons**: It is hard to get to know and it is pretty hard to understand the layout at first glance. They do charge 5% if your game makes over 1 million USD in total. > > Unreal Engine is very powerful compared to other engines I used. But it is one of the more confusing ones to learn if you are starting out with less coding knowledge. ----- ### "Great tool" — 2.0/5 > **Faith** | *6 August 2018* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really great tool for game development with limitless possibilities. > > **Cons**: Steep learning curve, its hard to get the hang of. ----- ### "Creative Alliance Review" — 5.0/5 > **Anil** | *6 July 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We here at Creative Alliance are involved daily in graphics designing and 3D animation. Unreal Engine is our go-to software for daily content. We have been able to provide high quality content to our consumers with Unreal Engine and recent Metahuman Editor integration has been a bonus. > > **Cons**: There is absolutely nothing negative about it because we have switched from another software to Unreal after finding absolutely no flaws. > > After more than 2 years of use, we can confidently say Unreal Engine is the best software for 3D visualization Game Development and Simulation. The realism is UNREAL. ----- ### "The Clear Choice for Low-Code Game Development" — 5.0/5 > **Marcos** | *14 September 2021* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I like the most about Unreal is that the Blueprints, which are its visual scripting features, are part of Unreal's DNA. It's been a part of Unreal for ages. Visual scripting in competing engines like Unity is an afterthought, and therefore isn't nearly as well implemented. Another fantastic thing about Unreal is that Epic Games keeps acquiring really good companion software companies. Just by using Megascans you can get amazing graphics assets for your games without spending a dime. Incredible value all around. > > **Cons**: Everyone knows Unreal's interface is outdated and clunky to use. I'm in the same boat. It's just terrible. Even the asset marketplace is terrible to navigate. It can definitely get extremely frustrating. But when you compare it to what Unreal offers elsewhere, as well as just how clunky Unity and Godot are also, then you realize you're coming out of it all with a net positive. > > Once you get used to the clunky interface, Unreal Engine is by far the best game development environment for my needs. Epic Games has a ton of assets available for free that make game development a breeze. You can deploy games made Unreal just about anywhere, too, without having to pay per export modules (I'm looking at you, Game Maker). I just really, really like Unreal. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2048053/unreal-engine?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2048053/unreal-engine) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
