Lights are one of the most important part of any game. With lights you can create a different athmosphere and make your games look stunning. Unreal Engine has the most advanced lighting system out of all game engines. But if a character passes in front of baked light it will not display his shadow at all.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. They allow very high-budget games to run better and, in the long run, make the job of writing drivers MUCH simpler to hardware manufacturers. This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time.
