> state-of-the-art 3D PC gaming engine in C#.

How does it compare to Cry Engine, Unreal Engine, Frostbite, ...?

Because these are the state of the art gaming engines these days.

It compared surprisingly favourably. The C# engine was comparable (and regularly compared) to the Unreal Engine being used elsewhere in the company.

It was C# from the ground up. Scripting was provided via other .Net languages (Python in the case of the UI team).

Those are state of the art graphics gaming engines. It's quite hard to make e.g. an RTS using any of those. They are too FPS specific.
Command & Conquer is being built on Frostbite. [1]
