Is there any point for a solo dev to use UE4 over Unity?

There are good entry level tutorials out there to help you get into C++ with UE4. Some ease newer folks into the topics a little easier than some others. I recommend trying something like this since it’s not too much of a big money investment. It’s not perfect, but does a pretty decent job of getting someone familiar with all the basics. https://www.udemy.com/unrealcourse/learn/v4/overview

I also find watching (and re-watching and re-re-watching) the UE4 video tutorials Epic puts out on blueprint game development and C++ game development invaluable! Must watch. They’re very well done (and free!). https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/playlists You can even hit up the instructors for some questions that may not be answered in the videos (they say that in the videos). Everyone at Epic seems to be very much into helping folks use their product which is fantastic.
