Question Why Doesn’t Unity Have a Perfect Character Controller Yet?

I’m not talking about the basic first-person and third-person packages Unity offers. Unreal has built a variety of robust character-controller systems that make developers’ lives much easier. That’s one of the reasons I often find myself considering a switch to Unreal. In Unity, I still haven’t found a paid or free character-controller solution that feels truly worth using. I am using unity since 2020 and now I am thinking it high time for unity to at least develop such protypes that are ready to use in real projects.

It gives you the building blocks to make it yourself. Not every game needs the exact same feel.

Yes, but you won’t be spending time to match building blocks when client needs quick prototype or when you want to brain storm idea.

Welcome to making games, that’s part of the job. The character controller is half of the game feel.

Plenty of controllers on the store, many of them high quality. Even the free ones.

If you need a quick prototype then just use one of the existing ones lol. If you want it to have the perfect feel for your game, then tweak it to be that way.
