And if you're making the typical aspirational photorealistic action game, you'll probably want UE's gameplay architecture and free photoscan assets too. But if you want high-end then UE5 Nanite / Lumen is light years beyond Unity HDRP anyway? Most recently, respected developer Ethan Lee has weighed in.

The character asset and animation are from GDQuest's "godot-3d-mannequin" project and the ground texture is from Kenney's "Prototype Textures" bundle. The solution should be easy, let’s just use doubles in all of our shaders! Doubles in Shaders. How about we just don’t support this on Apple devices?
