Unity is ideal for developers who want to focus their time on making games and not have to worry about spending their development time on creating tools. 

It depends on how much pre-requisite you already know programming, graphic design or audio generation, or editing.

When I started, I didn’t have any knowledge of graphic design or audio management, but yes, I was at least able to have the logic being implemented as a program.

Here is the breakdown of how it takes 10 days to build a basic gaming app:

Two days to install and setup android SDK, ndk, and unity.
Three days to learn basic unity features like canvas sprites and how to do programming using that. 
Three days to implement and test out complete game along with logical things
Two days to publish the game on the play store
Studios can focus on making games, not tools Why Unity is the most popular game development engine?

Multiple platforms

Initially, the Unity game engine was developed for Mac OS X. Today it supports 25+ platforms that enable developers to make their game more accessible for the public. A unity engine programmer can make their game more accessible for the public.

One of the benefits of Unity is you don’t need to have a great deal of coding knowledge. Unity uses C#, JavaScript but you can simply develop a game without writing a single line of code.
