Nope. Stick with C# and get unity. It's good for 2d/3d games, uses C# and supports all the platforms you listed.

There's no perfect or best language. You need to find one you're comfortable with and learn it's ins / outs. There aren't very many good video resources out there, so I suggest you get a book.

I will say it again. There's no perfect language: It's a personal opinion. This thread opens up a can of worms, and I'm going to message the mod so it can be locked.

another option for you is monogame. it is based on the xna framework but open-source and enables you to export to android ios etc.

personally i find it a lot simpler than unity. but tbh unity is the way forward
