I have to completely agree with CGQQL. It's very good advice.
I've actually went through the Godot course. If you look at my itch profile, I actually used his youtube tutorial on making a Flappy Bird in Godot 3 as the basis for my GDTV 2022 entry and credited him on the Spooky Ghost page.
I've had no experience with Scratch, but I feel the Godot course does put things out in a way that makes sense as a progression.
Ah sounds good. I gave it a go....and remembered why I hate Flappy Birds (which means you did it right lol).
Scratch is super simple drag code 'blocks' (literally) into position and connect them together. I was watching a couple tutorials already on Godot 4 and it looks really good. Significantly more complex, but it all looks complex at first.
If I decide to go with a different free course, I'm not sure what I would go with offhand. I have most of the Blender courses already via HumbleBundle, The GIMP course could be interesting since I've always struggled learning it and since I plan to do mostly 2D games, it might be better in some cases than rendering out assets in Blender.
