Gamer PSA: UE5 does not automatically make a game better or worse, it's just a set of tools. The game part still has to be made. End PSA.
It does make them feel homogenous, with similar strengths and limitations both visually and mechanically, though.
I mean I guess if everyone was using the default settings and buying assets off the unreal store you might get that, but the engine doesn't come with graphics. You can make whatever you want in it. You could make a ps1 era looking game. You could make something like windwaker. You could make a 2d game. It's just a set of tools.
Don't get me wrong, the engine does have strengths and weaknesses, and lends itself better to certain things. That makes games of a certain type gravitate towards it.
It's also the camera and lighting. Someone remanded MW2 in Unreal Engine and while it looked better it somehow had a Fortnite feel to it.
