Unreal and Godot seem to be doing a number on Unity from both ends. The higher end of the industry is going Unreal while the indie games and hobbyist are going Godot. I imagine this is also why Epic is a Godot donor.

Have there been any well-known games made in Godot yet? When I started with my first proper game which was released a few months ago I went with Unity because I couldn't find any successful examples and the knowledgebase was lacking in comparison with Unity.
Depends how you define well-known. The Godot showcase lists some of the popular ones: https://godotengine.org/showcase/. I believe Dome Keeper did $1m+ in sales with a 2-person team and I assume Brotato and Cruelty Squad are probably in 7 figures as well. So far, the hits have definitely been on the smaller side, but I expect things will change with Godot 4 being released. Another big factor is that most of the games released so far have been developed by tiny teams.

Sega did Sonic Colors in Godot, Dome Keeper and Cassette Beasts as other people have mentioned.
Apparently it was a remastered version, Sonic Colors: Ultimate - It's interesting this came out on the Switch since I'm pretty sure there is no official Switch support in Godot.
Lumencraft is another well-made game using Godot.

Delta-V: Rings of Saturn comes to mind. Though as it's not a very advanced and powerful engine there aren't any very very popular games I know of.
