There is a Curator called "Is it made with Godot?" with a list of over 1000 games on it. I do not know how to batch-ignore all those games, and doing so individually would be tedious. As it is, they can be used to check anything you might suspect uses that engine.
Even without knowing what engine they were made with, the games on that list don't look that great.
I mean, that's going to be true with pretty much any engine, if your only criteria is "Is it made with this engine?"
If you were to do a "Is it made with Unity?" list, most of those would be trash too. Godot is fine software, and you can make good games with it. It's just a lot of unexperienced indies use it for passion projects or just fucking around, just like any other - especially free - engine.
I sorted the list by "top sellers" and didn't see anything good.
Don't really know much about game engines, but I've at least heard of Subnautica and that's using Unity.
Again, as someone who has been going really hard on Godot since this drama kicked off, I will still not hear this slander, REEEEE! Joking, of course.
But you can make good games in Godot. Brotato and Halls of Torment are both pretty big games made in Godot. Slay the Spire 2 will be made in Godot. That should be interesting, to see what they can do.
Dome Keeper, Luck be a Landlord, and many more, as well.
The other thing to realize is, Godot is a little bit more niche, so even some of the best sellers are going to be made by very small - often even just one-person - teams. That's not going to be as technically impressive as bigger indies, AAs, AAAs, etc. That has nothing to do with the engine, though.
There needs to be third party APIs that basically symbiote over stuff and make it custom.
Like, "I don't want any titled to be recommended to me that feature a same-sex couple family" and presto, any services you run Netflix, Disney+ etc it nukes it from your feed so you don't even see it.
Or "Block all ads with black people"
It would be hilarious.
If you know what you're doing you could use the steam api to manage your ignore list with a bit of data analysis and python.
Steam lets you just filter out LGBTQ+ tagged stuff from even showing up. If you explicitly search such a game by name, steam will tell you it was filtered and offer to show it to you anyway. And it won't hide anything you already bought, just keep this crap from getting tossed in your face by the storefront.
Unfortunately I don't know what I'm doing but I would love to learn. Wouldn't even know where to begin.
You have any coding background at all? If so, python is super easy to pick up. The steam api is well documented online and let's you interact with your own account in almost all the ways you can with the steam client itself. Also, it doesn't have to be python, but I'm biased as it's what I use for my job anyway.
If you follow the creator you should get their reviews tagline at the top of the game's store page automatically. It works as a pretty good warning without having to ignore.
You need to stop buying games that hire Sweet Baby Inc.
