The game engine that is the best is the one that allows you to make the game you want to make the best

It's very nice and refreshig to see a game dev being open and honest about strengths and weaknesses of different engines instead of just going "my engine is the best". Thanks for the complex explanation! One side note I would make is that UE5 is also used by a lot of studios for VR projects now.

If you are making something simple like a visual novel that doesn't have complex gameplay, you can just use Ren'Py. Super easy to learn.

I clicked with GameMaker in mind being so excited for it so that last resolution was very helpful. Happy new year 🎉
