The source code
The only "downside" of the SDK is that you will not have a GUI by default. You will need to create your sprite by code with raw JSON data, load your levels by hand,... . But you have a lot of tools, like an LDtk importer to make your life easier.
If you want to learn how to create Godot games, there are a ton of resources. Not like Unreal Engine, the Godot Documentation is well made, complete, and includes a lot of tutorials. From what I heard, GDQuest (on the web and on YouTube) is also a great resource for learning Godot with free and paid content. And you can just ask questions on the Godot Discord.
Sooo. Unity. It's a 3D game engine created by a company of the same name. It was published in 2005 and is one of the most used game engines in the world due to its simplicity, the number of documents, and the easy way to publish games on all platforms.
For full web games (yeah, I come from the web, so I try to make my family proud), I will recommend PixiJS. It has great support for TypeScript and works very well with Vite. It's lighter than other game engines, so it's better for web games. But you will need to do a lot of things by yourself.
Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors.
