Everyone always talks up Godot as the Next Big Thing, but as far as I can tell zero notable games have been made with it yet.

Are there any Godot games out there that are more than just tech demos?

The Deponia series moved 2.2 million units in 2015–16. Cassette Beasts shipped on PC and consoles in April and moved 30k units in its first week on Steam, before its console ports. Sonic Team shipped Sonic Colors: Ultimate on PC using Godot (notably without required attribution). Id contracted out a modern PC and console port of Commander Keen in Keen Dreams to a developer who used Godot as a bridge to the original C codebase. The Carol Read casual adventure game series has used EgoVenture/Godot since 2021, switching from Wintermute.

Brotato is a Godot game that I’ve had some fun with. It’s not a graphical or technical masterpiece but it’s a fun gameplay loop.

Not everyone. It has an enthusiastic fan base that is vocal on message boards, but 99.999% of game developers have never touched it.

As a few have said, Cruelty Squad is a banger. But there's also Wrought Flesh and Endoparasitic. Fun stuff!

I haven't looked for a exhaustive list, personally. But off the top of my head I've been really enjoying Dome Keeper. And a friend of mine is almost to the point of having a gold build of Doomsday Paradise that's coming out this fall.

Dome Keeper

Not a massive hit, but profitable and fun.

Cassette Beasts is another fairly popular game made with Godot: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1321440/Cassette_Beasts/

In 2009 I was involved in a game using BGE and Godot already was gonna put down Blender.

A published Sonic the Hedgehog game used Godot (in part).

I too had the same impression and then looked at their showcase and IMO it was very underwhelming. The showcase for libGDX looked a lot better which was surprising to me.
