Unreal Engine 5.

Got to be Unreal. No other engine's environments look so soulless.

That is the fault of the art direction. Not the engine.

Unreal "Stuttering" Engine 5

The piece of ♥♥♥♥ masquerading as a game engine: Unreal Engine 5.

I wish devs stop using this garbage until Epic improves it. It performs terrible even on high-end hardware, and stutters all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time with no fix.

I have a 5080. Why the hell does this game struggle to run at 60fps at Epic w/RT on at 1440p? I have to use DLSS to stabilise the frame. It shouldn't be required!

I am currently running this game 2k with ray tracing, every setting on high with a few epic settings and getting capped 60 fps. I like the game so far, it's solid fun.

Takes one look at this bland slop to realize it's UE

I think it's both. He's done a bad job with a bad set of tools.

For whatever reason UE5 rarely feels good/natural. It feels like the landscapes and environments are plastic models.

my favorite past time is quickly becoming, seeing streamers "hate" stream this game, acting like they aren't enjoying the game, but play it for multiple days straight.

This game does have a ton of UE default settings.

Could be but the art director basically outed himself as a hack with his insanity on social media. So I will always blame him first in this case.

It is not the engine, it is the art direction.
UE5 has a lot of pitfalls, yes.
But this game looks generic because it is just your usual "semi realistic overgrown island with ruins".

Can you not see the big 'Unreal' logo at the start of the game?

Largely because it's designed for consoles.
