I think gdevelop is the easiest to use but I heard Godot and Construct are easier to use, but idk if they are that better, if they run well or if they are even compatible with my OS (Windows 8.1)
Edit: so he OS isnt the issue anymore (atleast for now) and now it's the fact that I only have 4 GB ram

Since Godot is free and lightweight there's no harm in trying.

In case of Construct 3 you don't even need to download it, although it's proprietary and the free version has limitations. Still valid for just trying it.

Don't shy away from experimenting with different engines, some will click with you more than others.
 
From several people I check out, Godot seems to be a more preferred choice...I haven't personally tried it, but the tutorials are very easy to understand.

I was also using the web version of gdevelop AND without a subscription
 
There are things you may want to consider:
  • Programming language - Do you already know a language and does the new engine have the same language? Can the new language be used in other platforms too; and how worthy is the time investment learning it?
  • What is the goal - Is it a 2D game, or 3D game? Is it for fun, or is it a commercial game? Do you wish to have it running on Switch/PS5/PS4 or only Windows?
  • Price - some engines are completely free and others are not. Some are free on the development stage, but they can be expensive later...

For free
What is more important: Free or 2D?
RPG Maker might be a good option.
Here is another video. Check the previous video too.

Both are trash.

Use Unity, its market tested, and its the least shit engine, done.

If you really really want to use something else, use Defold, Lua is easy to learn.

If you can't be arsed, then, RPG Maker it is.
