Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not?

Have you ever found yourself deciding against a game you would otherwise check out because of what game engine it uses?

If a games is made in UE5 I will definitely double check if the game can even run on low end hardware. And even if a game can run they often look like dogshit on low settings. Like I tried Exit 8 and it ran like shit on my low end PC. And that is a game that just takes place in a hallway.

Same for Steam Deck. UE5 games can ‘technically’ run, but they look a lot worse than other games. It’s the only game engine I check for.
