We need help knowing where to start.

Hi all, this is purely as a hobby but we need some help.

Where would you recommend starting if we intend to build a fast paced arena FPS, but not as fast as Quake/Ultrakill speed. We don't even know which engine to pick. I think the graphic style would be akin to something in between Sifu, Turbo Overkill, and maybe some modern DOOM, but maybe slightly less "pixel-y" from the Turbo Overkill bit. To be completely honest I am definitely not 100% certain on the art style just yet but we're working it out.

My friends and I have been building up a game concept in our heads for a few years now, and we all finally have good PC setups to pursue this.

Even though we've been conceptualizing the game, it's all been mostly banter between friends lol, so we haven't actually done great amounts of research just yet but will be starting soon.

Any starting point recommendations and engine suggestions are greatly appreciated!
