Sonic Colors: Ultimate is the highest profile title to date. (Though Godot is only used as an interface layer, the gameplay isn't built in the engine.)

Cruelty Squad and Luck Be a Landlord are both respectable indie successes.

There are probably some successful mobile titles. And it's also used in slot machines and gambling games.

They can be respectable by quantity but quality not much, Cuelty Squad simple ps1-style graphics isn't much different from the dozens out there games being developed on godot sporting the very same dull style.

I have no idea whether it could be used to make a serious game, but I wouldn't want to be the first to try. Those examples don't really fit the bill.
