Fortnite, Wukong, Tekken 8, Layers of Fear, Firmament, Everspace 2, Dark and Darker, Abiotic Factor, STALKER 2, Jusant, Frostpunk 2, Satisfactory, Expedition 33, Inzoi, Immortals of Aveum, Starship Troopers: Extermination, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Lords of the Fallen, Robocop, Myst (UE5 remake), Riven (UE5 remake), Palworld, Remanant 2, Hellblade 2, Subnautica 2… and the list keeps growing.
When a big studio skips QA and releases a broken game, it’s not the engine’s fault, it’s the studios fault. As long as consumers tolerate broken games that can maybe be fixed later (if we’re lucky) then companies will keep releasing broken, unfinished, unpolished, untested games. Blaming UE5 is like blaming an author’s word processor for a poorly written novel.
Well that's a pretty shit list. You have there games that aren't using UE5 (Layers of Fear 2), that are known to have poor performance (STALKER 2), that just released into early access (Inzoi) and that haven't even released into early access (Subnautica 2).
I'd throw half the list out the window, actually probably more because the other half of the list are mostly games I don't know enough to evaluate their performance.

Also, “I don’t know what I’m talking about, so your list is invalid” isn’t the dig you seem to think it is.
I didn't know the original game was remade. I assumed you meant layers of fear 2 because the original layers of fear wasn't even on Unreal Engine and Layers of fear 2 is on UE4. Nothing I said was explicitly wrong. It was wrong in the context only because you weren't precise with what you're saying.
And how nice of you to pick out the one thing I was wrong on while completely ignoring all the other examples. For instance how the fuck can you put Subnautica 2 on that list when it's not even in early access?
Idk I think the only one of those on that list that I’ve played that ran well enough that I’d consider it ok was tekken and I’m assuming that’s more because it’s a fighting game.
So what you’re saying is that Tekken being a fighting game just magically made a “bad engine” run well?
No I’m saying that it being a fighting game meant that it’s much easier to optimize because you have such a fixed camera angle and few characters on screen.
So it’s because the developers paid attention to optimization and polish to ensure the game ran well on the largest number of devices.
My point exactly. It’s not the engine, it’s what you do with it and how you do it.
It’s because there’s a lot more optimization you can do on a fighting game vs a big open world, it just doesn’t have to render that much comparatively.
Exactly. It’s not the engine, it’s what you do with the engine.
Fighting games would run well on a fucking smart fridge. They're by far the least performance hungry game genre. There is no live loading of assets, the Background scenery is 100% static and there are usually just two characters on the screen on any given moment. It would take actual effort to fuck up the performance of something so simple
Right. So it’s not the engine, but what you do with it.
Satisfactory alone would be enough, the game runs so smoothly for the amount of shit going on there, it's amazing.
