    This Steam Next Fest killed Unreal Engine for me.

    Every single game with that splash screen ended up as a slide show, and not even prettier, I play 15 years old games that look better than most games I saw coming from UE5.

    I used to recommend Unreal 4 for everyone, but they are already going for 6 without optimizing the 5.

    No need to upgrade, just give a chance to other games, devs and engines that cares for their customers.

    I got into Cassette Beasts a while ago and notice all Godot games run well on Steam Deck and my older hardware. Cry Engine looks beautiful and still run well on stuff.

      In UE5 my hobby project ran fine on my rig but I stopped and spent a year making a system that reduced the game’s footprint 3 fold.

      If I was working for a company then they wouldn’t allow me to waste time doing that.

      I blame Crysis for that.
