Life was so much better with unreal engine 3 slop. So many high quality experiences that never dropped a single frame ever

The game is blacksite area 51. My favourite garbage game

Arc raiders runs fine on UE5. It is in fact down to developers. Now, you could make an argument that it’s difficult to use and has poor documentation, which I’ve seen developers say, but it is in fact possible to make performant games using it as the engine. Obviously, custom engines are almost always better, but they also require far more resources to bootstrap and more time to onboard new hires.

Yeah UE5 is fine once you strip out all the UE5 stuff like Nanite, Lumen, and virtual shadow maps.
