Godot

Legit, fully open source game engine. Unity is neat, but you never know when they’ll pick up another investor that pulls all their licenses out of perpetual status….

Unity

Smack talk aside, Unity rules. Seriously. Make games. The community of support is great.

Unreal

This is all about making big ol 3d games that look great.

Core

If you really like Epic and Fortnite and want to help them make money, Core is a zero-code online multiplayer game making...experience? It’s not an engine (it’s just unreal with stuff on top), but it looks pretty.

Stencyl

Baby’s first game engine. Snap coding and more robust options available. Full GUI. Good for starters with a focus on mobile dev.
