There's a reason for the large size of other engines though (they're still only ~10GB if you don't plan to release on every platform). You have to implement pretty much everything yourself in Godot, so if you're going to do anything non-trivial, there's going to be a lot of work to implement things that are already included in the other engines. There was a post on the Godot subreddit recently by a team making a 3D ARPG, and they said that if they had to do things over again, they'd use Unreal Engine due to the amount of work and engine customisation they've had to do just to get standard features that are included in Unreal. Godot is definitely a good introduction to game dev, it's the first engine I used and it's very beginner friendly, but you quickly end up hitting roadblocks once you move past anything more complicated than a 2D platformer.
