    It's simple and easy to understand, clean user-interface and it doesn't require any coding knowledge, it's all drag and drop.

    Not an engine, just a framework like MonoDevelop or libGDX.

    Love is a viable alternative to Godot, for lightweight 2D games. The Lua scripting API is a perfect match for this kind of project. The only real advantage of Godot could be the editor, maybe...

    Bevy is pretty new on the scene but rapidly growing in popularity since it's the first major open source Rust game engine (see: https://arewegameyet.rs/). I'd consider it to be the most similar to Godot on this list just because of how deeply community driven both projects are

    Fully open source and free. The only problem is a lack of learning material for this engine.

    The rendering pipeline has aged a bit compared to Godot.
