Is Unreal Engine 5 really as bad as people seem to think it is? If so, why? (self.pcgaming)

I hear nothing but bad things when the topic of Unreal Engine 5 is brought up. It's also true that the games I've played which use this engine have suffered from poor performance to one degree or another, so it seems like the complaints are well-founded, but I don't actually know.

Is it a bad engine, or is it just not being used correctly by either the devs when they design their games or the players when they choose their graphical settings? Or a bit of both? What's actually wrong with it, in layman's terms?

Cheers!

I've never heard bad things about it, nor had issues with games that use it. What have you heard and experienced?

Let me go find the youtube video this is likely referencing.

I think it's probably referring to this video.

There's also the various devs who are using it to shortcut making their own models, making a growing catalog of increasingly homogenous looking games.
