When selecting a game engine, you should consider the complexity of the game you are trying to make and what type of platform(s) you need to target. You will also want to compare features such as performance, graphics capabilities, scalability, modding tools, and cost. Additionally, depending on your team’s skill set and budget constraints, you may want to select an engine that is easy to learn and use. Finally, researching the community support available and making sure the engine has appropriate license options should also be taken into consideration before selecting a game engine.
