Working at an IT industry means many different jobs

The engine has great physics, fluid dynamics are really well done! Also working with particles in realtime while not having any lag is amazing as it can look very realistic even if you're using complex meshes or animations for characters/objects. A bit hard to find good tutorials out there about how exactly things work under this level but luckily I've managed so far to get myself up to speed thanks to youtube videos - which helped me solve most problems right away without asking anyone else online. There's no such thing like "easy" when doing something new because its always best practice (and therefore expensive) to learn everything first hand instead from someone who knows their stuff before getting stuck yourself! Just make sure that your computer meets all requirements and try every method possible until yours works flawlessly! Make lots of saves often during development. You will want to tweak some settings after release sometimes since optimization isn't perfect yet but thats ok ;).

Pros
  • Incredibly detailed graphics
  • Intricate lighting effects.
  • Good particle systems used everywhere including explosions etc.Great choice regarding different kinds materials too i'd say :)
Cons
  • Limited content currently comparedto other engines
  • Lots o f manual tweaking needed atm
