How to choose an engine?

Question

Game development

Hello. I decided to make a puzzle game similar to one of my favorite games - Papers, please. I wrote the plot, described the gameplay, but I don’t know what to write it on. Where to write such puzzles? Tell me please.
Where is the easiest place to do it?

Answer 1

Approximately 2% of people ask "Which engine to choose"...
UE4 will suit you if the game is paid, there are no problems with finances 5% from one sold copy.
There is also an opportunity to get $5000 sponsorship (If the idea is interesting)
The only problem is that the interface is difficult to learn and there are many functions that take a month to learn...
Uses C++
Source is open
Free
Unity - Suitable if you you need an easy-to-manage engine (And if you need to release the game faster). It's interesting, and it's cross-platform...
Uses C# and JS... Must have programming skills
Source closed (Pro version only)
Free
Cocos2D - The name itself speaks for itself (Just for puzzles)
Also a simple interface, no troubles but also smaller functions...
Just as cross-platform as Unity
Source open/closed (Partly)...
Uses JS Must have programming skills
Free
GameMaker - The easiest to learn!!!
Scripts in the form of cubes just need to be folded like Tetris :) The source is
closed...
Free
It's up to you, go for it! :)

the game engine is most often chosen like this:
can you download the unit? If yes, then it is a unity. If not, then no luck.
Have you grown in numbers, do you have funding and ambition? Well, you can try anril, but if you can download a unit, it will be a unit.
