ShacknewsJosh ChildsNov 20259/10Constance is a game about confronting your inner darkness. Its hand-drawn cartoony art style won me over initially. Its challenging platforming puzzles and boss fights that required me to fully utilize the plethora of techniques I’d learned throughout the journey kept me engaged and always felt satisfying to complete. This fluid and extremely rewarding gameplay loop alone solidifies Constance as a must-play platformer. The heartfelt story at the core of it all is a welcome added bonus.

GamesNightGamal MedhatJan 202610/10Constance isn’t just another Metroidvania released this year; it’s the Metroidvania of the year. It’s a game made with love, purpose, and heart. It’s a game that made me forget about the review and dive into its world, unable to tear myself away from the screen. In the end, I thank the developers for delivering my game of the year on their first attempt.

Cubed3Sep 20264/10While Constance has fantastic art design and tries something new with its plot, its level design and imprecise controls undermine too much of the experience to make it easy to recommend.
