    One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

    MonoGame is a great way to make 2D games. It's not an authoring tool and depending on what you want to do a fully fledged game engine may be a better choice, but "I want to make a 2D, point me to an engine" is very unspecific. If you could eloborate more what you want to do, the suggestion would also be more profound. Game Engines are just tools and choosing one over another is not something a beginner should really care about that much. But I bet, using MonoGame will be a great learning experience, boost your programming skills and switching to a game engine later will be easier than the other way around.
