Cons and Pros of Unity
Pros:
Insanely fast unity game development speeds. It follows agile game creation and facilitates quick prototyping and continuous releases.
Easy and quick import process of resource subsystem leading to an optimized unified Assets pipeline and supports most image, audio, video and text formats band 3D packages.
Excellent Integrated Level editor with supporting JavaScript and C# for scripting.
Superior support for de-bugging and tweaking as all the game variable are displayed during gameplay which enables systematic tweaking and de-bugging processes at runtime.
Vast Unity 3D games communities and marketplaces which offer wide built components for sound, physics, rendering, controls etc. The Assets store is very much reminiscent of any Phone App stores.
Multi-threading, collections, I/O and expressive LINQ library functions using Mono as script host.
Multi-platform unity game development and deployment platforms for Consoles, Desktops, Browsers and Mobiles.
Excellent and easy 3D surround/panning implementation and Audio engine.
Cons:
Hogs more memory, this may cause OOM errors in mobile devices and debugging issues.
As no source codes are provided, performance issues are hard to find, address and fix.
Expensive if you need to use its entire features (render textures, stencil buffer support etc.).
Developing a large AAA game title needs a lot of optimizations.
Additional costs to purchase Mobile Pro licenses for effective deployment.
Outdated version of mono restricting your game to certain size and constant struggle with the GC.
Easy to get un-organized with your hierarchy structure or directory and has too many folders, assets etc. even with nested items.
More is desired from the terrain system and better of using other programs for creating and texturing terrain.
NO support for HTML5 WebGL for now.
Switching build targets requires re-importing everything and time taking when working on a multi-platform game.
