#2Questions of this kind often boil down to specifics, as the various competitors all have strong and weak points.
As such, It will be hard for anyone to answer meaningfully without more context: What kind of game do you want to write, what skills do you currently have, what do you want to learn from this project, etc.

#3There's no simple answer to your question.
It all comes down to your use case: Are you trying to learn game development or are you developing the next AAA-Title with hundreds of developers? Which platforms are you targeting? Are you willing to pay for the engine and/or the assets?

#4The one you can afford, run, build the game you want to build, and export to the platform you want to target.
Popular games like Undertale and Spelunky were made in Game Maker, FFS. There is no "better or worse" only "more or less appropriate."
Also consider Godot. It's open source and you can compile support for multiple scripting languages into it.

#5I don't know but Unity looks more compelling now that Mike Acton works there: https://youtu.be/p65Yt20pw0g

#6Unity is easier to learn, Unreal has a cool ecosystem AAA developers love, Unigine has some bleeding edge stuff with great performance not found elsewhere, CryEngine can destroy any GPU you throw at it...

We are the team of developers, actually and we are trying to create game like Dual Universe but more in a fantasy world...

As in it's so poorly optimized it will eat any GPU, or it can do bleeding edge stuff no GPU can support?

#9Having good visual assets is far more important to the look than the choice of engine. Having good audio assets is fundamental to making an app feel complete. Pick the engine that uses the programming language you know best.

I think it's the latter.
