Hi,

 PlayMaker comes with its own tweening system.

Dotween is good as well, There is some support on an old post:

Hi admin,
Is Dotween significantly faster than PlayMaker's built-in system?

Hi,

no, the playmaker tweening are better integrated, but dotween is probably the best tweening system in unity since a long time, so I do recommand you also master dotween. Dotween pro is even morep owerful because it lets you do tweening with a special dedicated component with no coding required for basic operations.

Bye,

Jean

DoTween simply covers tons of functions and cases. The menus are a tad more extensive to fill out but once it's done properly it's practically flawless.
The free version already comes with tons of good stuff already.
I use the native tweening actions for very simple operations.

The only big issue I have with native PM tweens is that if you use a custom curve, result values below 0 or above 1 (on the Y axis) are lost because the tween's output is capped between 0 and 1.
I had a project in which I had to compensate for this limit by using a 'Curve' type action.
