Just use the same engine you been using on your first several games.

its my first time never made a game before

A baker starts with making biscuits and not making 3 tier wedding cakes.

If you've never written code, maybe you should start with GameMaker.

Unfortunately, comparing the alternatives similar to Godot, Godot has the best pixel art support from all along it's competitors. Unity, Unreal, CryEngine/Lumberyard to name some are more related to 3D while Gotod can be 2D pixel perfect

If Godot didn't work, try Construct, GameMaker, or Unity. As a new developer my self, I learned it is more about what you feel comfortable with than what the engine can do.

Personally I like Unity. Comparing it's RaycastHit2D to Godot's Move and Collide shows just how different they are.

Unity provides an array giving all collisions and allowing the user to solve them as they want. Godot only gives the first collision, making it simpler but causing jittering when multiple collisions happen.

Personally I like Unity over Godot because it feels more professional.
