You have to devote yourself to really learn blender.But when you do get all the basics then it's a piece of cake.

Best game engine that's worth it's price is Unreal Engine. You can pay $10 (last time I checked) monthly but, you can pay the $10 once and download it then cancel your subscription. If you want to get an update or get news, you can just purchase the subscription again.

Isn't unreal engine free now? The only costs are royalties if your game generates a fairly large amount of revenue.

I've had an easy time with Blender. :p

It took me longer to figure out than I'd care to admit :[

Yeah, to my knowledge you just have to pay for the license in some instances. Here's more info.  

UE4 is pretty good.
I had some fun making a sidescroller on it.

Altho UE4 is pretty much 3D, it has pseudo 2d support.  

Ooooo I didn't know it was free, that's cool
