UE5 hype is all about Nanite and Lumen, but hands down the most game changing thing for us over UE4 has been the enhancements to the in-editor animation suite (control rig, sequencer etc).
We never animate outside UE now. It means that any assets we buy, we can create control rigs for them and create all the extra animations we inevitably need without having to do an error-prone export & reimport process via Blender. It’s great (and Marie swears at Control Rig much less every version)
