The best game engine is the one that YOU feel comfortable with and can learn what you need to to create the game you want.

I took one day and tried to make the same game with Unreal, Unity and Cocos2d-x. See which engine I could get the farthest with. It turned out it was Cocos2d-x. (http://cocos2d-x.org)

If I decide to start a new game in the future I will repeat the same test adding GoDot into the mix and see how I feel about each one.

I wish I could dowvote this. Pointless question that for some reason gets asked fruitlessly every day on every game-dev group. If you're asking this question you need to learn more, think more, do the minimum research.

Please don't discourage people from asking questions, there's 48 upvotes on this submission and personally I would have liked to come in here and seen a succinct summary and comparison of the engines from a programmers perspective.

The hacker news community tends to be more programming/math focused and the summary we get here will likely be unique and insightful.
