My impression of Unreal is the tech is awesome if you want to make a game with high graphical fidelity — Nanite looks crazy good, etc. But if you aren’t trying to do that, are making a 2d game or something lofi 3D like Minecraft graphics, I don’t see what Unreal buys you over using a different engine. if anything, the massive Unity asset store seems like a huge competitive advantage, and from my understanding Unreal doesn’t really compare on that front.
I understand mid/big studios don't want to give away a percentage to Epic (over 1mln) - which translates to "learn unity to land a job" - but for indies unlikely to reach 1 million in revenue, Unreal is basically free technology from the future.
