  • I want to make a Lemmings clone where Beavers build Dams

Could I make such a thing in Godot as a complete beginner or would it be too "grand" a project?

That's actually one of the more reasonable and sane ideas I've seen floated, lemmings would be pretty straightforward believe it or not, especially with the 2D navigation Godot 4 now has.

The basic concept of the game would kind of be like Tetris mixed with Lemmings, except with Beavers instead of Lemmings, you'd get points for building the Dam and stopping it from bursting.

The main thing to learn about then would be 2D movement and gravity, after that it's just learning the ins and outs of the Godot engine. You have to think about whether you want top down zelda style movement or side on platformer style, presumably if you're going for a lemmings style game you'd want side on but there's all kind of things you can try.
