Unity vs Godot
Developers should learn Unity when building games, simulations, or interactive applications that require real-time 3D graphics, multi-platform support, or AR/VR capabilities, as it offers a robust ecosystem and asset store for rapid prototyping meets developers should learn godot when creating cross-platform games, especially for 2d projects or when needing a lightweight, royalty-free alternative to commercial engines. Here's our take.
