Our Verdict

Firebelley's Godot 4.3+ course on building a grid-based puzzle game with C# provides an advanced, thorough examination of the engine's capabilities. While it offers solid, production-quality insights, learners must have prior programming expertise and stamina to navigate its swift pace and focus on puzzle games.

What We Liked

Broad and in-depth exposure to Godot Engine 4.3+ features using C#—from grid-based tile maps to input handling and audio
Comprehensive, step-by-step instructions guide you through building a complete, polished puzzle game with production-grade code
Varied teaching style reinforces best practices and software engineering concepts alongside game development techniques
Effective combination of prototype-and-refactor methodology and detailed explanations for clear understanding

Potential Drawbacks

Steep learning curve—suitable for intermediate or advanced students with solid programming foundations and familiarity with C# or statically typed languages
No separate lessons dedicated to Godot features, which might confuse beginners transitioning from other engines like Unity
Pace can be challenging due to fast-paced refactoring and implementation of advanced design patterns such as Singleton and composition
Limited variety in game genre; students may need additional resources for learning additional game development techniques beyond puzzle games
