Honestly, all the people who ever said that made me face palm.  UE4 is exceptionally flexible and powerful and can create a diverse range of gorgeous aesthetics.  If any engine is lifeless, imo it's CryEngine.  I've worked with that thing and it's hard as freaking balls to get your game to NOT look like Crysis in some capacity.  It has one look, so you better like it.

Never liked the aesthetics of CryEngine either, I am however a humble peasant who doesn't know how to use this stuff so I aint judgin'! I've seen several games utilizing UE that looked so pretty, but some people will see what they want to see, and then call it an opinion when in truth it's mostly bias and stupid generalizations.

Don't get me wrong, CryEngine can be pretty.  It's one of the easiest engines to get good graphics out of.  But you either have to work REALLY hard or be willing to work within it's general look.  Kingdom Come Deliverance, for example, looks really good.  But it went with near photo-realism.  As does Star Citizen.  It's just limited in what it can do and you have to be very careful not to look like Crysis specifically.

UE4 has the greater flexibility by design.  However, UE4 has more garbage projects to be frank.  And that's be cause the full fat version of UE4 is completely free.  So there's a lot of hacks using it for things like Greenlight.
