Godot VS Unity: Physics Basics

Which engine has the best physics tools for you?

When we think about it, virtually any video game needs to feature some type of physics. After all, even a game as basic as Pong relies heavily on that since the whole point of this game is to use collisions to block and reflect a ball to the other side.

That’s why knowing how to add physics to your games is a crucial skill for any game dev — and all game engines should make it easy to do so.

So, how do Godot and Unity compare on that front?

Gravity & rigidbodies

In both Godot and Unity, we can easily apply gravity to objects by making them rigidbodies.
