> Hello everyone. Just watched this and was not satisfied [Upgrading your UE4 Project to UE5 | Feature Highlight | State of Unreal 2022 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmh5a_ddO58) Before that, I was strictly sure that I shouldn’t switch to UE5, but now I am full of doubts. Would be great to get any pros/cons and cases when it makes sense and when it doesn’t, especially for the case of indie development. Personal thoughts would be appreciated too
