Can you link to it?
If it's the UI package I found on the marketplace... something like that could be a nice starter ui but for $50 you might want to hold off until you are ready.
UI is integrated tightly into games and there will still be lots of work on your end to make it function.

Oh.. looks cool. I'm sure it'll teach you a lot. If you want to build that type of game, or want to spend that money as a learning aid, have at it.
Just beware with jumbo assets like this:
if you intend to actually build a game around it, either you're going to pigeonhole yourself into doing things the way this asset does, or you're going to find that you end up redoing or scrapping most of the logic and only use the assets.
Since completing games is incredibly difficult, look at it as a teaching aid first and foremost.
Also multiplayer games are no walk in the park. I highly recommend not building one to start.

I just want the framework.
It has everything in it I would need to build, already setup for multiplayer.
This seems like a short cut that's going to save thousands of hours or dollars.
Having ui, inventory, NPCs, build buildings, etc just cuts so much time.

I've downloaded some free mega assets like this and it always ends up being a little more work than originally anticipated. Trying to change 1 thing becomes a chore as you learn how the thing was built.
Maybe this asset is easy but just be wary.
Also, if you want an entire game you can mess with, but it uses some advanced methods, you can dl the Action RPG example:

It uses c++ and gameplay abilities. It's not multiplayer though. But it's free. And it's made by Epic.
They have a lot of documentation for this though which is nice.
Oh and I guess it's tailored specifically for mobile. But I used it to learn the gameplay ability system

It's hard to understand how true this is until you're months deep into a project that's stacking a few of these together. I primarily use Unity these days, but I'm sure it's the same in Unreal. On one hand, I think even the most expensive assets are incredibly under-priced for the time that went into them and that they could potentially save, but on the other, I can't count the number of times I've thought how much better off I'd be if I'd just built my own noob version of the asset instead.
That's not to say you shouldn't use assets, but the huge downside is that you have no way of knowing what you're getting yourself into unless you're already experienced enough to have built the asset yourself and to have done so in the way that the creator did. I could make my own character controller, but I couldn't build one that does everything the asset I'm using does in any reasonable timeframe, if ever. However, how much of that is bloat that I don't really need? And how much time have I spent trying to resolve issues with different assets working together? The answer is so much...
Imo, the best way to get started if you're going the asset path is to pick the most mature one you can find and stick to doing exactly what it does and nothing more. Don't stack other assets with it, and don't try to add any functionality. Just build your content within whatever constraints its framework supports. Anything else will just be a sad time lol

As a non-artist I've always been ignorantly curious about the difficulty of aligning to a well-developed base level of art assets. Human models are a good case of that where we (as gamers) have used a huge variety of character customization that all seem like re-creations of the same problem. Obviously different art styles and engines require novel work but it's super cool to see Unreal making inroads on that front by putting out work like that.
My usage of unreal doesn't give a shit about facial detail, so I'm curious about how useful their low LOD models are and also how much effort was spent in customizing body types / animations.

This Matrix tech demo is out of this world. Now if only a studio actually puts the resources behind making a game look this good.
I wonder if they will make the project for this demo available to Unreal Engine users, like they have with past demos. That would be amazing. The tech demo last year was 100 GB, I can only imagine the project size for this.

The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience hits PS5 today
Epic Games details how the UE5 tech demo reaches new heights in photorealism.

"To do that, we’ve built a vast, 16 kilometres square open world city, comprised of seven thousand buildings made of thousands of modular pieces, each of those constructed of millions of triangles and enhanced with props, signage, debris, and more. There are 1,248 simulated intersections, 45,073 parked cars (of which 38,146 are drivable), over 260 km of roads, and 512 km of sidewalk."
