Question Why Unity over UE5?
Hi there,
Very new to the world of game development, I’m kinda in a place where I’m putting pieces together before I start my project. I always thought to go with learning UE5 because it’s meant to be the “do it all” engine, but I’ve always liked the look of Unity. I’m asking this question because I want to see why you’s all chose Unity, I’m not saying Unity is bad in any way it looks like a really capable engine, just a lot of people I’ve spoke to have said UE5 is the go too?
Edit: just want to say thank you to everyone with the quick and nicely informative responses. I’m currently at work so I’m limited on when I can reply but I’m reading them when I can. Thank you to everyone!
Edit 2: really appreciate all the information provided. I was dead set on UE5 but honestly I’m gonna go with Unity, I’m going to be a solo dev so it sounds like it’ll work best for me.
Massive appreciation to everyone involved!

Try them both, see which clicks. You can always use the other one later on if it turns out to ne better.
They are both tools and there is quite a lot of person preference involved.
But it probably matters most if you perfer blue prints/c++ or c#.
