Our take

Pros

  • MIT licensed, with no royalties, fees or revenue thresholds
  • Lightweight editor with a dedicated 2D renderer, not 3D in disguise
  • Easy-to-learn GDScript, C# support and a clean scene and node system

Cons

  • Console ports have to go through third-party partners
  • Asset store and third-party ecosystem are smaller than Unity’s
  • High-end 3D rendering still trails Unreal and Unity
