I Used Godot For 100 Hours, Here’s What I Learned

This is my semi-comprehensive review of the Godot game engine (Pre 4.0) as someone who has used it for gamedev for over 100 hours. I focus on the specific features that I think make or break the engine and how they compare to other engines such as Unity or Unreal in terms of game development.
