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.
All the more reason to take a based fork of Godot and release a more successful game than anyone ever has. Their community would seethe.
Brotato is possibly the best reverse-bullet-hell game I've played. Our family liked to sit down and pass the controller around playing it, and the latest beta version added an outright co-op mode so we can play together. It is entirely too fun, and simple enough the youngest can play too. All he has to do is move the potato around the screen trying not to get hit, and we can help him with the in between part where you have to read. It is stupid simple fun.
If you like roguelikes, Path of Achra is a very good one focused on tactics and building your character, also made with wokedot.
I played Slay the Spire on game pass when I had a free month. It was okay, was going to buy it as a gift but found out the dev is super woke.
So now it makes sense they/them would pick Godot for future games.
