Do a complete game in C++? +Resources

Is this possible (and is it efficient as well)?

No, because transition rules in animation state machines use blueprints. That will correspond to incredibly small percentage of game content (0.1%?). Everything else can be done in C++.

Also, focusing on C++ will be very efficient if you know what you’re doing.

2. I can’t find really good tutorials about C++ programming in UE4 (I only found that series on youtube, but
   it will learn you only the very basics). Then I found the book Learning C++ by Creating Games with UE4 by William Sherif.

Also, this one was useful for me (you might not need it)

Is the part about UE4 programming good/is there another book or tutorial that will learn you it (I prefer books over internet and stuff).

You can learn by reading engine code. Books are very likely to be outdated the moment they’re released. Also you should tear apart project templats (ThirdPersonCPP, etc) and see how they work.

3. I only know basic C++ (to give you a global idea: from simple variables untill templates, dynamic memory and polyformism). Is it a good idea to start with UE4 now?

Hard to tell, but you may be fine. The team put some effort to make life easier for you (there’s garbage collector, for example), so you should be able to use C++ as if it were a scripting language.
