Jan 6, 2026I had a lovely time with Constance. It’s not a lore-intensive metroidvania, it’s not particularly difficult unless the player wishes to test themselves, and it never outstayed its welcome. Among the titanic release of Silksong and other metroidvanias, Constance still managed to make an impression on me. Don’t let this one pass you by.

Nov 25, 2025More than anything, Constance is a beautiful game. Its hand-drawn art style makes for one of the prettiest games I've seen all year, and the platforming gauntlets it puts you through make those sights more rewarding. While its narrative elements fall short and a chase sequence proves more annoying than challenging, the overall experience is a rewarding platformer with entertaining boss battles. Not a bad choice if you're looking for a way to take out your frustrations on several manifestations of burnout.

Nov 25, 2025Constance remains a modest game, yet manages to deliver a lovely experience with the means it has — and you can feel the heart behind it. Still, we would have liked its core progression to be less linear, and for it to fully embrace its original gameplay mechanics to give its combat a bit more flavour. But thanks to its superb art direction, the themes it tackles, and its precision in platforming, it remains an adventure well worth experiencing.

Dec 1, 2025Constance aims to be a stylish 2D action-platformer with metroidvania elements and a heartfelt story about burnout, mental health, and childhood creativity. Its vibrant art, strong soundtrack, and solid platforming lay a promising foundation, with a dreamlike world that reflects the heroine’s emotional struggles. Unfortunately, the game falters where the genre matters most. While Constance looks and sounds great, it lacks depth, balance, and identity, resulting in a technically competent but ultimately forgettable adventure.
