Unreal isn't actually oss but source-available so works well enough. Why not try godot and see if it's robust enough for you? Another open-source engine you could look at is urho3d (it still supports 2d games).

Yes, but it's not "open", per se. You get access to the source, but you cannot distribute it.

https://github.com/epicgames/unrealengine. You have to register your github account with them on their website[1] to get access to it. This is not the case with unity.

You don't get source for Unity unless you pay a boatload of money.
