Godot can render at frame rates independent from the fixed physics tick rate. This can lead to problems where the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, causing unsightly jitter.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry.

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.
