Over a dozen Unreal Engine-powered games featured during Xbox Games Showcase Unreal Engine developers shine at PlayStation 5 showcase Inside Xbox event reveals wave of new Unreal Engine-powered games It's already a tradition that Epic post a blog post with a list of stunning indie games developed with UE4 after major showcase events It's extremely indie-friendly in this regard. It comes with a lot of tools out of the box for handling characters, skeletal animations (not limited to humanoids), rendering such things as hair, fur and eye shaders.
You can make a racing game or spacecraft simulation game, the engine doesn't focus on FPS games (it's not UE3). Making stylized games still possible, there are dozens of small stylized games done in UE4.
Unreal rendering focuses on physically based rendering and perspective camera. Especially if somebody working on a game when gameplay uses characters or heavily-directed content (implementing and scripting small things in every place of the game instead of relying on programmer every day). That's why we have blueprints, visual scripting and dozens of tools working with each other out of the box. UE4 was designed with indie teams in mind as Epic already filled "AAA studio niche" as it was possible at a time. This is the myth that Unreal Engine is meant for large studios.

Small engine footprint, even now possible to embed the Unity app in another app. Unity shines at mobile development, lightweight on phones. Unity is great for 2D games, mobile games
It aims to clarify some doubts and myths. This is just a short summary which should give you some basic overview, so you would know better what to look at. Is Unreal the right choice for me? Does Unreal have significant disadvantages compared to Unity for an indie dev or a small team? Is it slower/harder to make prototypes and small indie games in Unreal? Why do so many people use Unity instead? I'm never planning to go into AAA games, I only want to make indie games as a solo developer(maybe in a small team). I'm considering using Unreal, but many people seem to be using Unity for making indie games. Let's rephrase here a fundamental question.
