I recently dug through a sampled list of UE5 games released on Steam. It is shocking how many have such poor reviews (often for reasons not beholden to the engine). Sifting through stuff, I did find a handful of games that didn’t seem to have major performance, graphical flaws based on reviews and forum posts, though to note some of them also didn’t seem to leverage much of UE5 technologies to begin with (Lumen, Nanite, etc.). Some games did seem to leverage UE5 tech still and have minimal to no complaints.

Sadly, a large portion of the released games I pulled from this list had referenced performance issues or otherwise major issues that tanked the Steam review score. I unfortunately didn’t note down my findings for the handful that didn’t, but if you want to look for yourself the list I searched from is linked.
