If you’re just getting started with game development you might want to opt for Unity. It offers a very intuitive design and uses the C# programming language, which makes it both easy to learn and fun to use. After spending a weekend taking Unity courses, it’s not far-fetched to say you could have your first simple game made and ready to share with friends. Plus, there’s a large amount of information available online from other Unity developers to help you out every step of the way - from online courses to active community forums. For a complete beginner, Unreal Engine is a mixed bag. There are two ways you can program your games in Unreal, either with Blueprint Visual Scripting or C++. Blueprint Visual Scripting helps you have some quick wins (and completed games) if you’re not familiar with programming. However, if you want to unlock the full power of Unreal you’ll need to learn C++, which many people find trickier to learn than the C# programming language used by Unity.
