IDK about you, folks, but thanks to @discomode I'm playing Infinity Nikki — a gacha game where your powers are in your dresses. And yes, I'm a pink-hair waifu. And I like it... UPD: What the heck, the game is actually a FIFTH iteration of a huge dressing…
Honestly, I'm impressed with artistic choices, but the art director of Infinity Nikki definitely deserved his role!
It's Unreal Engine 5 and RTX Accelerated version of Lumen lighting system.
There is even their official interview about switching to Unreal Engine: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/developer-interviews/behind-the-scenes-of-infinity-nikki-tracing-a-glamorous-turn-to-an-unreal-open-world
The trick is: they haven't just adopted the engine, their rendering developers recreated lots of features, like Order-Independent Transparency (OIT). Imagine, that folks can do rendering in a gacha about dresses, but AAA games are all using the default UE.

Yeah, I can relate: the art direction always wins and modern gaming is often BLAND AF.
But they are also unable to make anything meaningful with the UI, immersive elements, animations, and AI. The things that work in the original Stalker trilogy, METRO games, and many other similar projects.

Why STALKER 2 (and UE5) are a massive disappointment
A superficial and unfair analysis, first impressions, and overall sentiment on the brand new STALKER 2 (GSC Game World) after more than 16 years of mod-developer-powered life support. We’re going to look at STALKER 2 as a game but also STALKER 2 as an Unreal…
