List of game engines

Game engines are tools available for game designers to code and plan out a game quickly and easily without building one from the ground up. Whether they are 2D or 3D based, they offer tools to aid in asset creation and placement.

Engines

Note: The following list is not exhaustive. Also, it mixes game engines with rendering engines as well as API bindings without any distinctions.
