Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of two popular graphic engines, namely Unity and Unreal Engine 5. The objective of the study was to gather insights into the performance and quality of applications developed using these engines. The research involved creating two games, followed by conducting performance tests and collecting user feedback on the quality and performance of these games. The results indicated that the application developed in Unity exhibited superior performance, while the application developed in Unreal Engine 5 received higher user ratings in terms of visual aspects.
