Very much appreciate the feedback! Unreal is a monolith of an engine that's for sure and can be intimidating at first, but it's also a lot of fun to learn and extremely versatile once you begin to grasp how all the tools work.
Unity still does some things better though, especially in regards to anything 2D and just being more optimized out-of-the-box. Unreal can be just as optimized, but their optimization tools are a bit more sophisticated which tends to give them a bad rap since a lot of devs haven't learned how to properly optimize their games.
