For anyone wanting to develop a First Person Shooter or other first person game, unreal engine is THE go to. There should be no other option in your arsenal. Considering most FPS games use unreal engine should be the best argument for the engine. Even Guiness world records gave it the aware for most successful video game engine!
The cost for the engine can be prohibitive for small time developers

I get excited about some things and then I get back to normal then I get bored and suddenly I get excited It's like life
It gives you a great experience of graphics and physics with good services management with a little fascination with everything new that comes out
Lack of simple codes and lack of attention to player services consume a lot of resources

The graphic quality in Unreal makes almost anything look perfect. From games, movies, enviroments and any other system that needs graphics, this tool has it all.
There are one big mith about this tool and is the ease of use, it may need months to learn to do something playable and to have a future on the tool.

- The UI is pleasantly simple yet powerful. When you open Unreal Engine, you don't feel overwhelmed by menus/choices/etc. - Blueprint is fun to use because it visualizes the structure of the game you're making.
- It's very difficult to do things like reading from/writing to a file using Blueprint, so if you want to implement certain kinds of 'saving' you have to use C++.

What I liked most about unreal engine is how they work with epic games and bring new content to the games like Fortnite.
What I dont like about it is how people make videos about fortnite having bugs and glitches and unreal doesn't cooperate to tell epic games about the problems.

When getting started it has very helpful messages to start a project and a descriptive help center to solve different issues. It was very nice that I could try it for free.
This engine is very hardware dependent and can get very overwhelming if you do not know what you are doing. Definitely has a steep learning curve.

It is a really helpful tool for creating worlds and developing characters in my game and is simple to understand.
Still has some features that are not too simple to locate in the engine which can sometimes take from the experience.

Is it free, is a beginner-friendly and the most versatile platform for game design, you can do what ever you want and simulate everything.
This software is huge and heavy, you will need a huge performance to run it without any lag

I like that you could create realistic scenes with ease as there are a lots of people on YouTube who guides you on how to do exactly that.
The marketplace was too limiting for me. I wish there were more items on sale.

Unreal can make a dream come true
Mastering the Unreal Engine is a must for every graphic and 3D game programmer. It is the standard of the industry.
Unreal does have a high learning curve. The customer service and finding help outside the message boards is also challenging.

Unreal Engine is a great tool for those who wish to develop 3D games, it has all the functionality one could need.
It is very demanding on components, running it requires heavy and expensive PC equipment.
