I am actually a bit surprised by this as it's come down in price quite a bit in recent years. Wonder if it's competing with Unreal Engine 4 (must be) when it comes to pricing.

It has a free version for beginners now. It has a 100k cap though on it, but great for someone just starting nonetheless.

So it's like a very complex map editor? Where the "game" is the unity engine?

Apologies, I am stupid when it comes to computer stuff

Basically yes. I use Unreal Engine 4 myself personally which is a competitor to Unity which is video game creation software (both are).

I'm used to Unreal Engine 4 myself, but figured I'd support Unity a bit here on this one. Unreal Engine 4 was free to use and screw around with before Unity ever was so I got used to Unreal Engine 4.

In Unreal Engine 4 you could "test" play it while "developing" it and switch back and forth to test mechanics and play it. So I might change something while I'm "developing" anything in Unreal Engine 4 for fun or whatever then switch to "testing" it to see how it works and such.

Unreal Engine 4 can be played as a video game just for fun to mod / screw around with it while being "development" & "testing" all at the same time. I'm 99% sure you can do pretty much close to everything you can do in Unreal Engine 4 in Unity (don't quote me on this for now).

I'm going to let "the_old_ones" explain this in the end since I come from Unreal Engine 4 and I've used other programs like blender and such to as well.

Is this something a basic computer user can use to make a video game? I am willing to learn

yeah, you pretty much got it understood totally right. you can build the game in the system, and play it whenever you want, with whatever live changes you make, since the thing is still totally hot in the forge in front of you
