Seriously, forget everything else, most games don't need 2% of what Unreal has. The tools like Niagara, PCG, ControlRig, and whatever else the thousands of devs working on it full-time can churn out are what kills you as a solo dev.

The saving grace is that these tools are made to work for an immense spectrum of applications while you can focus on what you need, cutting down complexity by orders of magnitude. However it's still a lot of work to make a decent tool, and the worse the tool is the more you pay for it when you start making the game proper.
