Game Engine Survey: Unreal Engine 4

I have to stay that I really like UE4. In high school I was able to take a game design class and worked a little with a earlier UE, so I am somewhat familiar with how the engine works. For a beginning game designer though I felt that UE4 made it easy to learn the engine. Everything is set up very good, and it's fairly easy to find what you want to do. You always know exactly what you are working on all of the time. The tutorial I was going through on UE4 was teaching me how to create a car in the engine, and to get the car to be able to move like a car. I believe the tutorial video was of an earlier version of UE4, so I had some troubles finding some of the things mentioned in the video. I was eventually able to figure out where I needed to go and what to do. When I completed the tutorial, I had created a car, and was able to drive around in a short amount of time. It's great how easy this engine is to use. I am looking forward to working more in UE4, and creating many different things. I want to eventually want to make a full racing game, and I feel that UE4 will help me to achieve that.  I recommend this engine for any beginner gamer designer, who can start making things right away and not having any problems in creating whatever they please.
