These game engines are a bit advanced in terms of coding and designing. If you want to start making simple games, try Scratch. It is an exceptional way to visualize code and learn it. Then, once you got the hang of "conditionals, loops, and variables", then you can decide whether you want to develop games or learn a programming language. If you decide to learn a programming language and do game development later, great! There are many ways you can start learning.
