summary
Compares concrete engines and tradeoffs: Unity targets 25 platforms with a steep learning curve and a Plus plan around $399/yr, GameMaker starts near $99/yr but limits 3D and monetization APIs, Unreal suits C++ AAA work, Solar2D is free with no royalties but 2D-only, Godot supports GDScript C# XR and console ports, SpriteKit is built on top of Metal and is best for native iOS 2D, and Rust offers C++-level speed with safer memory. Starts decisions from why and from game features.
