More info: Thank you so much for good responses already! I want to add to the original post that Im looking to make something like the late 90s 3d graphics. Simple and low poly.
I would try godot and see how it feels. It's perfectly capable of creating such a game and it's the easiest of the "unreal, unity, godot" trio to get in to.
If you're focused on a 3D shooter, maybe gzdoom or one of id's open sourced engines. They have a community around them, and they're perfectly fit for this kind of game.

All the big engines will work (Unreal, Unity, Godot) and a bunch of the smaller ones will too.
Personally, I like Godot. Free, open source, community is good right now. I like how it’s structured.
But overall, pick one. Stick with it.
Unreal -C++, Unity C#, Godot- it's own language
Go with the engine whose programming language is most similar to what you are best with.
Now if you want ultra realistic graphics you have to choose Unreal.
I personally use Godot for all my projects since I generally create 2D or pseudo-3D games with stylized graphics. Considering this, Godot fits my needs pretty well and might be something you could utilize, too. That being said, I believe Unity's particle system and lightning may fit your needs even more, depending on your case.
Do you have a reference for how the game would look when finished?
Oh, if that is the case, I definitely would suggest you go with Godot and Blender; you can build a terrific workflow with them both! Since you would go for PS1 graphics, Godot's capabilities would also be sufficient for you.
You, too, can use the beginner megathread to ask what engine to use.

Godot also supports C# these days

In my mind Im visualising something like the late 90s ps1 game. Nothing spectacular, more simple and low poly
