Hey, I’m new to making User Interface, and I’m currently trying to find ways to make User Interface that would stand out while being compared to other popular and well developed games?

Hey,
The 2 main properties that make a UI appealing are style and color.
STYLE - In order to have a good style of UI in your game you should make the UI using 3rd party websites and not just Studio.
COLOR - Depending in your style you want the colors to match the theme of your game for example a simulator will be bright while a FPS will be dark.
Having both a good style with colors to fit it will make your UI’a stand out from others.
Hope this helps.

There are many things that you should account for when creating a UI:
Consistency
When creating a UI, you should make sure that its consistent, having a inconsistent UI could make it appear very messy or unorganized. Imagine having 50 fonts on one screen, you would be very confused on which on to focus on the most.
Size and colors also account for this, you should be aware of what colors you use and how many different ones you use, using a green with black and white and red all together in one cramped space could make it very hard to differentiate between shapes. Having overly large UIs then super tiny ones can also look very odd.
Readability
This goes somewhat similar with consistency, make sure any text/icon you make can be easily understood and read without any problems, you should also make sure it contrasts well from the background its on, having a light text next to a white background can make it Very difficult to read.
Make sure your Icons can be easily understood by a wide audience as well.
Style
Style is also important as @CAP7A1N has mentioned, creating a medieval themed UI in a cartoony enviromental type of game can get very confusing and look quite off. Make sure its consistent Again, with the style of your game. You should also convey the types of emotion with it for example:
Its a dark game with horror theme into it, have the UI be spooky and dark with an eerie feel as well.
Formatting
This is another good one to point out, format your UI correctly, having a messy format can cause players to pull their eyes off from the game to take a good while to understand where they need to click, this can drag away the player from the game, something you don’t want to do.
There are many other things to take into consideration but those are some of the few you should remember to keep in mind of.
Good luck developing

Tips to make perfect UI.
-
Follow the contrast ratio
Whatever you do, you should follow the contrast ratio, if you don’t follow it, you might make text or elements unreadable.

Unify
For example, you are making a shop and inventory UI for a game that is sci-fi. Both UI’s style should be sci-fi as well. Don’t do something like every UI’s style is different. It’s not unified and strange.
That’s all I can give. Good luck with designing your UI!
