    It’s an open source game engine. People tend to consider it as a replacement for Unity when it come to 2D game development.

      hey it’s 3d is pretty decent too!
      you won’t be making aaa games with it anytime soon but it’s really good for 99% of tasks

              My understanding is that running on game consoles can’t be officially supported, because they can’t integrate the necessary proprietary code into the engine while keeping it open source.

          Before Godot 4 the 3D engine was pretty far behind, think early 2010 teach. With Godot 4 it got an insane upgrade which puts it in par with Unity as far as I understand (not a unity expert), but still behind Unreal (then again, everything is behind Unreal.)

          Unfortunately it takes multiple years for a 3D game to be developed, so it’ll be a while before we see actual released 3D games with Godot 4.
