I completely agree. The limitations though are something you’ll hit in Unity or Unreal as well, just at a different spot.

Each engine has limitations to what they provide. It’s up to you to extend. Godot being open source you can easily extend. Unity/Unreal you’ll be writing some code as scripts to attach to overcome those limitations you encounter.

No game engine is limitless.

Unreal engine has shared source and accepts PRs, so you could potentially edit the source code to fix issues as well.

Hopefully they give you a discount on the royalties if you improve their engine for them!

very true. If your fix is something that would be useful to others, PR away!

Every engine I've used has some really good stuff and some surprising limitations.

For Frostbite... If you've worked with it you know. Probably my least favourite.

In UE4 I love the environment but can't get over how cumbersome some aspects of graphics programming are. Especially how difficult it is to work with compute shaders.

For Unity I really like how smooth the workflow is, especially for shader programming. Having used it for a little more than a year now I'm really surprised how nice it is to work with. I barely even mind it being primarily C#.
