Yeah, I actually recently tried making a game in Lua using LOVE2D, and then making the same one in C with Raylib, and I didn't feel like Lua itself gave me all that much. I don't think Lua is best for game logic so much as it's the easiest language to embed in a game written in C or C++. That said, maybe some of its unique features, like its coroutines, or stuff relating to metatables, could be useful in defining game logic. I was writing very boring, procedural, occasionally somewhat object-oriented code either way.
