    Godot IS a 2D and 3D or both development. I don't know why people say is only for 3D

    Godot is not for everybody, especially if they do not like coding. But as an engine it certainly is far more feature-packed than Gdevelop. As a plus, Godot can do both 2D and 3D, while Gdevelop is limited to 2D only.

    Godot Engine is mainly for 3D games, GDevelop for 2D ones.

    With 3rd party plugins we can extend the tool with a visual programming solution that is just as easy to use as the event system of GDevelop and we can export our games to desktop, mobile, HTML5 and game consoles.

    No coding required, we can develop games using visual programming and export our games to desktop, mobile, HTML5 and even game consoles. In case the event system would be not good enough we can even use it own scripting language called GML
