“Blueprint Visual Scripting Eases Prototyping but Engine Complexity Slows Workflow”
Overall, Unreal Engine has been a powerful but sometimes demanding tool in our workflow, and we appreciate the visual fidelity real time lighting and the lighting and the depth of the editor tools, which let us build high-quality scenes and interactive experiences when we invest the effort. At the same time, the engine’s complexity, long compile times, and relatively heavy system requirements can slow down iteration, especially for smaller teams. It has paid off for more ambitious 3D work, but it's not always the most lightweight option for quick experiments

Unreal Engine: A Powerful Creative Tool with a Steep Learning Curve
Using Unreal Engine as a casual user learning how to use the engine can be overwhelming at times. Powerful tools and impressive visuals make small projects look fantastic, but the complexity and performance demands can feel like too much for experimentation at a hobbyist level. However, with many triple A studios using Unreal Engine it's a great platform to learn and get used to 3D creation and see how larger studios use it. Even though it seems to be built more for triple A studios it has a lot of tools that can make it understandable for newcomers and allow users to make amazing creations. - Business Development Associate50M-1B USDSoftwareReview Source

Great VR development engine.
It can be developed without purchasing any license; the license only becomes effective once it's in production. The tool allows for the complete development of virtual reality software, from the interface to the animation, logic, and controls. It's a self-contained tool, although it can be complemented with other modeling applications. Developing with blueprints simplifies the programming of mechanics, and the set of available functions is truly comprehensive. For features not included, we have the option to develop in C, which makes the tool much more versatile. The interface is intuitive, there are countless online tutorials, and it's a very powerful engine for VR development.
