Godot 4.5+ C# The Ultimate Metroidvania Guide [Upd 2025-Nov]

It doesn't explain things well. Many things just appear out of nowhere. I requested a refund but it was denied. Update. Although the course title says “Godot 4.5,” the project is made with Godot 3. Many of the things taught here are now obsolete, and the course is not up to date. In 2026, I don't think it's worth it anymore.

The topics covered in the course are very interesting and applicable to many games. The code shown on the course though was poorly written, didn't utilize any c# capabilities or even best practices in writing code. I would encourage the author to put a bit more effort on the code (which is a huge part of the course). While this is not a programming course, it definitely is part of making games and a well structured code should be part of the course goal.

So far it has been a phenomenal course. I don't have much background as a programmer, but Johan does a phenomenal job explaining everything. I will definitely leave a review afterwards to talk about my ability to build on the current code given the knowledge gained in this course.

This is an excellent course if you are already comfortable with the fundamentals of programming and have some basic experience in Godot / game dev. For absolute beginners it might be too daunting. That said, the course is well paced, the instructor is excellent in his delivery and the lessons are easy to follow and a nice length. If you take this course you will learn a hell of a lot about C# and making games in Godot. I really like how the instructor writes "clean" code and how the project directories and files are neatly structured. I learned a lot, especially in the section concerning the player character state machine. In the beginning the concept of finite state machines was confusing, but by the end of the section, after having written so may states, it all nicely fell into place and I could see the advantage of structuring the code this way. And it was done in a very iterative way, which make it more understandable and approachable. The only problem is that this course should have way more students taking it!
