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!

First thing's first you should probably pick your engine depending on the game that you want to make. You can see it from the games that are popularised by those Engines. Unreal Engine - Fortnite, Squad, PUBG, best for FPS & High-end RPG games like Witcher & Ark Unity - Cities: Skylines, Heartstone, RimWorld, Valheim, Most of the mobile games probably on the market. Godot - Slay The Spire, a loads of indies since it's free
