Despite having spent my tween years creating maps with and modding for Unreal Engine 1 (and later v2) these days I'm not particularly – err – impressed by the – uh – aesthetics that you get using the defaults of UE5. Yes, of course you can replace most of the render pipeline. But you can often tell at a glance, that a product uses UE5 defaults.
As far as games go, I prefer if they're focused on an artistic approach. I kind of like the look of the Decima engine.
@halcy i think unreal engine is very good if you want to make "look at my character controller example i made theres a mannequin jumping over checkerboard. check it out. i made it in unreal engine. check it out on youtube" i think. i think if you want to make that, a lot of people have had success so its probably the industry standard for making that
@halcy its output looks very pretty. i like that as an aspirational target for my own engine.

@datenwolf @aeva @lritter unfortunately, humans crave novelty, for the most part
@halcy @datenwolf @aeva is it really about novelty and not more about conservatism? because UE5 default look is very close to pixar's rendering style.
@lritter @datenwolf @aeva I mean, for me? I think so, I can definitely get sick of Thing That Is Similar To Previous Thing at speed (which is obv more than looks, but 
)
