There is no simple way to explain licenses, but I can provide links to the licenses descriptions in your native language. What is your native language?

Here are the russian summaries for the licenses we have on OGA:

CC0 https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.ru
CC-BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.ru
CC-BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.ru
CC-BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.ru

Yes, CC0 is free. You may do basically anything you want with it. For CC-BY, you should write about the author on your game's credit screen and in your game's credit file. See https://opengameart.org/content/faq#q-how-to-credit for more information.
