Mine would be:

1. id Tech 6/7 (DOOM 2016, DOOM Eternal)

- Probably the best optimized engine I've ever experienced.

- The movement feels incredibly fluid and responsive.

- Gorgeous visuals while maintaining insane performance.

- I'm also a huge fan of its Vulkan-first approach.

1. Fox Engine (Metal Gear Solid V)

- Some of the best lighting I've seen in a game.

- Fantastic facial expressions and character animation.

- Still looks stunning today, and it ran amazingly well on older hardware.

1. RE Engine (Resident Evil, Devil May Cry 5, Street Fighter 6, etc.)

- Incredibly versatile and consistently delivers gorgeous visuals.

- Excellent performance across a wide range of hardware.

- One of the most reliable modern game engines, especially for photorealistic games.

What's your top three? I'd love to see which engines people appreciate the most and why.

For me it's "The Invincible", when I first played it, I thought it's just a walking simulator but, after playing for a few hours and advancing the story made me happy about my choice, a really different story and game, but unfortunately my PC died (RIP GTX 1660 super and monitor), what about you??

Debugging meta game and designing is fun and challenging.

Added RPG elements to game such as lvls and stats, still have way more to add until done.

I added textures to my map and added terrain bonuses that tie into combat, just like in real life terrain should influence combat.

Reworked UI a bit to make it more readable and consistent after feedback i got last.

Reworked ranged to use 3d projectiles, that can even hit friendlies when not careful :)

Feedback appreciated.
