I have plans for making video game, and so far Godot looks most promising out of free game engines (completely free and open source, native script language - GDscript - similar to Python which I know and from yt tutorials it seems very intuitive). Any couterarguments?

I've used Godot a lot for 2D games and it's a great engine. I found it much easier to grasp than Unity or Unreal. It's lightweight, fast, and runs great on Linux. I can't think of many reasons to not use Godot, especially as an indie dev, except maybe that the 3D side is not as refined as other engines right now, but it's still very workable and being constantly improved upon. I recommend giving it a shot for sure if you're interested in getting into game dev.
