The State of The 2D Side Of The Engine?

I have an idea for a quick project that I'd like to work on. I've been working in Unreal for a 3D project, but I feel like I need to tackle something smaller first. I've heard in the past that Unreal struggles when it comes to 2D, is that still the case or is that even true to begin with? I would prefer to stay with Unreal, since this is what I'm learning, but if making a 2D game is going to be more trouble than its worth in the engine, then maybe I'll drop back to unity. Can anyone with experience in 2D, in unreal and other platforms, weigh in? Thanks
