Look into Godot or Pico8! Pico8 is the first one I used for making a game, it is very limited but if you are willing to sit through some tutorials its pretty easy to get a character moving. Godot is free and has lots of guides around, it took me a while to figure out what I was doing but it was very worth it!
GODOT ANYDAY tried Unreal Engine 5 not begginer friendly ALSO remember you can make great games with Godot 3d and 2d and it runs on a coding language similiar to python i had no coding experience but i learned not that hard also theres tutorials online and Ai works too sometimes.
