What is the best engine for creating video games other than unity?

I used unity and the demand on my PC was too high. I now C# and Java as well as python so anything that uses those would be great. #game-design #video-games #technology #programming

Thank you comment icon "Best" is not a well defined term. As Walt pointed out, different engines have different pros and cons. The "best" for one person/project is not the best for another. Fred Rosenberger

Walt’s Answer

There are many game engines available and used in the industry. Just a few are:

UnReal - Probably the most used in big games and MMOs. Very complex for a beginner. Requires a big PC.
Unity - Second to UnReal. Complex to learn also, but easy for C# developers to pick up. Also requires a big PC.
GoDot - A free game engine that is good for learning. Lots of tutorials, easy to learn, but has some limitations for commercial games. Easier on the PC and also uses C#
Amazon Lumberyard - A newer engine that is good for multi-player games on the Internet. Not as well known as other engines. Runs in the cloud, so easier on the PC.
CryEngine - Has really great graphics. Not as well known. Requires a big PC.
GameMaker - Great for beginners, doesn't require coding skills. Good for smaller games. Easy on the PC.

Hope this helps.

Ahmed’s Answer

One of the easiest ways to create a game is to use a tool like Game Maker (https://gamemaker.io/en) or RPG Maker (https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/).

You can start without coding, and then as you want to do more advanced things, begin to code!

Geoffrey’s Answer

I would say Unreal by Epic Games. But, Walt's list is right on point.
