Unreal isn't great for 2D games, and other small games that don't need all of its power. It's amazing and has unprecedented quality/perf, but being so powerful makes it hard for newbies to pick up.

Godot on the other end will be a perfect fit for what Unity is leaving behind. It's not only free, but OSS, and maintained by amazing people.

It only takes one 'whale' studio using unity to say 'you know what, we're going to give half of what we used to pay for unity to godot' to really speed development of key features. OSS is nothing if not persistent.
