Unity 3d

Unity is not a C++ game engines. But it is most widely used game engine. Unity is a closed-source, cross-platform game development application. You can create your game in unity by manipulating objects in 3D and attaching various components to them. All Scripts are written in C#,  Boo or UnityScript (Not a JavaScript) and attached to 3D objects as components. You can use this Game engine to create any type of 2D or 3D games and apps. Don’t fear about C# programming, if you know C++ then you can do well with C#.

Unreal Engine

The unreal engine has a nice free to use model and is one of the most powerful game engines available to the public. Some of the best looking games are made in it. But even if it’s extremely popular due to its 3D rendering capabilities you can create some great 2D game in it as well.
Game developers use C++ as their main language because of performance concerns. The object orientation of C++ is a good match for how games are structured. Some engines also use additional languages for content creation and scripting. So LUA, C# and special purpose languages appear. But the engines themselves will be coded in C++.
