Our Verdict
The Ultimate Game Developer Course on Unreal Engine 5 C++ provides a solid foundation in game development and best coding practices. Its practical approach of constructing an action RPG sets it apart from other courses, offering learners modular and scalable systems to build upon. Still, there's room for improvement regarding debugging, testing, version control, and some teaching patterns. Moreover, outdated content due to recent Unreal Engine updates must be tackled by the instructor.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of Unreal Engine 5 C++ game development, from foundations to advanced features like Open World system and MetaSounds
- Real-world project: creating an action RPG game with third-person character, melee combat, enemies, health bars, level design etc.
- Strong focus on best coding practices, data structures, algorithms, and design patterns—well-suited for programmers without game dev experience
- Modular and scalable systems, enabling learners to confidently expand the project and implement their own desired features
Potential Drawbacks
- Lacks crucial topics like debugging, testing practices, and version control (Git) introduction, which are essential for professional game development
- Some teaching patterns might be improved: e.g., null pointers checking approach could be substituted with more robust alternatives, creating a custom collision preset is not emphasized enough
- Occasionally overwhelming amount of information and repetition makes the course difficult to follow smoothly
- Obsolete content due to Unreal Engine updates: specifically, outdated input system isn't covered in sync with the new Enhanced Input
