Godot Code Review

A structured review guide for Godot 4.3+ projects covering GDScript and C#. Work through each checklist section, then produce a review summary using the output template at the end.

1. Node & Scene Architecture

• Each scene has a single, clear responsibility (player, enemy, UI widget, etc.)
• Inheritance chains are shallow — prefer composition via child nodes over deep extends hierarchies
• Autoloads (singletons) are used sparingly; only truly global state belongs there
• Node references traverse only to direct children — no get_parent() chains
• @onready (GDScript) or GetNode<T>() (C#) targets direct children or named paths within the same scene

Anti-pattern — get_parent() chain
