Which game engine should I use to develop a game with SimCity-mobile-like graphics?

Hi, I'm thinking of a game with SimCity-mobile-like graphics where you can move around by touch to see and interact with your city and environment. The game will be much shorter because it will have a timer that forces you to build things, and it will be a contest among the users to develop as much as possible before the time runs out. EDIT: Flor clarity, I'm leaning towards Unity now, and I'm envisioning my game to look a lot like 'Islanders' on Steam. Not knowing anything about Unity, my question is can this type of game be rendered and constructed using a game engine like Unity by importing assets from Blender?

@futureplay Unity is probably easier to learn and c# is definitely easier than c++ in my opinion. That being said, it's always good to start with a few simple projects to get grips with the engine before you take on something greater.

Definitely give Godot a look. It's not as powerful as Unity or Unreal, but it is very beginner friendly. For 2D games, or even basic 3D, I find it to be much more productive and easier to understand.
