There are multiple answers to this question. What type of game are you making (2D or 3D)? What platforms are you planning to have the game on (Pc, Mac, Xbox, PS4, IOS, Android)?Are you wanting to make the game engine as well or use an existing engine? Most game studios that use their own engines use C++. Indie studies useJava, C#, and C++. Note that C# and C++ are used more than Java due to the Unity and Unreal Game engines. If you are at a beginner or intermediate level of programming and do not have a lot of experience making a game. I would suggest using Unity. The unity game engine itself is really powerful but does not use at much resources as the Unreal engine. It will also work on both Windows and Mac. It is simple to use, has a lot of documentation, and 1,000s of tutorial videos online. It is also free. If you use Unity you can choose between C#, LUA, and Javascript. I would suggest sticking to C# if you decide to use this engine. Unlike the unreal engine the Unity engine comes with its own IDE Monodevelope which works really well. You can check out unity using the following link: https://unity3d.com/ Now the Unreal Engine is also a great game engine to use. A lot of triple A studios are using this engine to make games now. This is because the 3D rendering and visual effects are amazing. It also works well on Windows, Linux, and Mac computers. Now this engine does use a lot of resources to run and it can take a while for a game to compile on lower end machines. But it is a great engine, has a lot of good tutorials, and decent documentation. Note that this engine use C++ and will require the use of Visual Studio (IDE). If you would like to use the Unreal Engine please click the link below. https://www.unrealengine.com/what-is-unreal-engine-4 Note there are also other game engines out there that you can use. I do not know your programming skill level so I would avoid trying to create your own game engine.

Any language can be used to create games. I find python easy to learn. Java and C# are also good. But if you want to go hardcore, then C++.

I would personally suggest using C# for unity. I have used both and JavaScript is easier when you first start out. But C# is better overall and allows you more control.
