@Eleven , although I have no experience with Unreal Engine so I cannot tell you which game engine you should choose, I saw the development process with CryENGINE and it looked amazing. Some friends of mine, however prefer Source Engine. I have personally developed some lesser Source Engine projects and I can say it's an excellent engine with great potential. Furthermore, Valve often takes up, which I think is a beau geste, the promising projects of smaller teams (or single developers).

I advise you the same I was advised by a professional game developer before to get acquainted with more engines and if you have some experience, choose and focus on the one you like the most.

In addition, don't forget to come back and share your opinion because you could help people who will be in your situation in the future (and because I'm curious)

EDIT: It also matters what game you would like to create so could you please tell us more about your plan (Except if it's something secret and you hide it with good reason, haha.)?
