Recently I have been using multiple game engines to try to find the one for me (I’m a beginner) I need some opinions on if I should try out unity. a reason I want to try out unity is because you don’t have to really cOdE in it, and since I suck at coding, I need opinions on if I should download unity or not. Thank you. My goal is to create some sort of horror game or sm. Like a 3d one. I also want to make 3d but simple color and shading styles, and not super realistic. For 2d goals I’m not planning to do much 2d, but I do like retro styles and like pixel themes.

oh my bad

Most major engines have some sort of no-code solution, it depends on what you want to make. Unreal and Unity both to some degree have no-code solutions, GameMaker does too if your goals are more 2D oriented. RPG Maker, CopperCube, GameGuru MAX, and more also are generally no-code. Not sure about godot, haven't played around with it enough to know. Give some information about what your development goals are, target platforms, target styles, things like that, it will help people be able to provide some sort of input for you.

k I updated it, thanks.

Depends what kind of game you want to make. I suggest learning minimal code as it can go a long way.

I have been wanting to make a horror game.

Yeah unity with some basic code

I will look into unity

Good luck with it

yup, thanks

If you're into 3D horror games and want to avoid heavy coding, Unity could be a solid choice, but keep in mind - you will need some coding eventually. Unity has visual scripting (Bolt), which can help you get started without diving deep into C#.

Since you're a beginner, I'd also recommend checking out Godot - it’s lightweight, has an easy-to-learn scripting language (GDScript), and works great for both 3D and pixel-art 2D. If you're after really simple horror game creation, maybe even try Unreal Engine with Blueprints (totally no-code) 

thanks, I do use Godot sometimes. it is very good, but thank you for your opinion :)
