Or Bevy, if you're into Rust: https://bevyengine.org/

I would say Bevy isn't really similar to Unity. Something like Fyrox - https://fyrox.rs/ - would be more similar. Bevy is more low level and lacks an editor (as of now, it's planned)

Fyrox is a one-person show. It's quite impressive, but it doesn't have the same massive community around it that Bevy does.

Bevy has a very stable ECS architecture and is being intelligently designed and built for the long run.

Bevy's lead developer is working on the editor now and it's getting closer to landing [1, 2].

Someone who needs to start developing right now should use Fyrox right now. I tested the same project in both, and can echo the sentiment that Fyrox is further along and much more similar to classical engines like Godot, Unity or a number of further-along C++ engines.

Bevy breaks things every minor release and is missing key features. If more people supported the Fyrox effort, then the rust gamedev ecosystem would be less vulnerable to a change in bevy's pricing structure just as this Unity change has impacted the wider game dev ecosystem.
