Which game engine should a beginner start with? Godot, Unity or Unreal

A game engine is a toolbox that handles the hard parts of making a game: drawing, sound, controls and collisions. Godot, Unity and Unreal are the big three, and all of them are free to start with.

Which one suits you depends on three things: what you want to make, whether you want to write code, and how strong your computer is. Use the chooser to see a recommendation with its trade-offs, and learn where simpler no-code tools fit in.
