Our Verdict

While this course offers a fun take on creating an old-school FPS in the Godot engine, it lacks proper explanations and solid structure for beginners to start with; those familiar with game engines or programming might find value in the fast pace, project modularity, and well-made example. Still, it's recommended that learners be prepared to study additional resources alongside this course for best results.

What We Liked

Covers all aspects of creating a retro-style FPS, including weapon modeling and SFX.
The fast pace of instruction is beneficial for those with some programming background.
Provides a well-made project to learn from, with decent explanations of the code.
A good starting point for learning Godot engine's basics, especially if you're already familiar with other game engines.

Potential Drawbacks

Many functions and variables are introduced early on without proper explanation or revisiting later, causing potential confusion.
The course lacks in-depth explanations of the 'why' behind certain techniques or structures; thus, learners may struggle to grasp underlying concepts.
The project structure might not follow best practices, making it difficult for learners to adapt the code to other projects.
Poor pacing and presentation make it challenging for beginners to understand the intent
The course focuses on Godot 3.x instead of the latest version (4.x), requiring learners to refer to the official upgrade guide.
