<p>There are a lot of game engines out there but which one to choose, well don’t worry because I narrowed it down to my 5 top picks</p>
<p><em>These are personal opinions not facts, others may prefer other game engines not listed or disagree with my ranking</em></p>
<h1>1. Godot engine</h1>
<p>Godot I great because it is less then two gigabytes and can make 2d and 3d games, and can also make VR games, the engine is completely free and opens source. The cons are that it uses there own scripting language called GDscript</p>
<h1>2. Unreal engine</h1>
<p>Unreal engine is a flexible engine that can be used for both game creating and animating, the engine uses C++ as it’s primary scripting language, cons are its download size is 60 gigabytes</p>
<h1>3. Unity</h1>
<p>Unity is good for many games like 2d 3d, Vr, ar. there scripting language is C# and has a assets store, some cons would be there plans, although there is a free plan the paid plans are expensive 😟</p>
<h1>4. Gdevelop</h1>
<p>This is a great option if you don’t know how to code because of its visual scripting, major cons are the pricing because you are given only a limited event per game</p>
<h1>5. Roblox Studio</h1>
<p>Roblox Studio is great for young developers, it uses Lua, but if you are a grown adult, just find a different engine, you’ll make no money.</p>

Game Developers

Choosing the right game engine can be challenging, so here are the author's top 5 picks: Godot for its lightweight and open-source nature, Unreal Engine for its flexibility and professional use, Unity for versatility in game types but expensive paid plans, Gdevelop for beginners with limited coding experience, and Roblox Studio for young developers using Lua. Each engine has its pros and cons, from scripting languages to cost considerations.

My top picks for game engines!

<p>I’m a unreal dev but iv been wanting to learn Godot for 2D projects because paper 2D is as good as dead if you don’t want to spend a ton of money on add-ons to fix the problems epic left it with</p>


<p>Unity is absolutely free unless you make a lot of money.
Also, Unity is good for everything Unreal is good for and then some.</p>
<p>The only reason people put Unreal on top is because it has small edge in graphics out of the box towards realism. An edge that for the majority of teams makes little to no difference because the visuals they can produce are not so high quality or simply not realistic at all. The vast majority of games are not realistic.</p>
<p>So, unless you are making a “AAA” style game with super realistic visuals with a team able to produce results of impeccable aesthetics, you are not going to see any signifying difference between the two.</p>
<p>Putting Godot above Unreal shows that you are not thinking objectively enough to be taken seriously. It does not matter if it is your personal preference. It’s simply not there.</p>
<p>Choosing a professional game engine for your next project is a technical matter, not a matter of emotional gravitation. You will use the one the performs best, gives you the best tools and 3rd party integrations, and the widest job market acceptance to find high quality professionals to support your complex and demanding project.</p>
<p>If your projects are not complex or demanding, then your recommendation can only stand for hobbyists and school children.</p>
<p>It simply is absurd to put a promising, yes, but half-baked engine on top of 2 of the best game engines out there (Unity and Unreal) based on what really is, an extended emotional hype trend.</p>


<p>I’m excited for Godot! I found out about it from Brackeys videos. It made me interested in game development again. I used to learn Unity and another one I couldn’t remember the name, but it was hard for me.</p>
<p>I decided to just stick to non-gaming development instead. Sad, I know.</p>


<p>Godot sharp lets you use C# into the engine, let alone GDnative, that integrates C++ and that is a huge performance boost. it doesn’t have the visual coding feature like unreal engine. or the graphical beauty. but it sure does the job so nicely.</p>
<p>aiming to make my first project in this baby! i can make it.</p>
