## Reviews

### "A powerful game engine that makes creating 3D games easy" — 4.0/5

> **Akshay** | *12 February 2022* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The most appealing thing about Zea Engine is that it makes game development more accessible to people who don't have any prior experience with coding. It also allows for more creative freedom when developing games.
> 
> **Cons**: The thing I liked the least about Zea Engine was the installation process. It was a bit more complicated than I expected and it took a bit longer than I anticipated.
> 
> I have used Zea Engine for a few small projects now and have found it to be a very capable and easy to use game engine. The documentation is good and the community is helpful. Overall I have been very happy with it.
