Constance

Bonne découverte de ce metroidvania avec une da très cool, les combats et biomes sont bien mais la plateforme est peut être trop peu présente pour un jeu qui se voulait inspiré de céleste et le jeu est peut être un peu cours pour le prix, je recommande néanmoins le jeu qui été une bonne découverte indé et qui mérite de la visibilité.

작은 볼륨의 무난한 메트로배니아. 적당히 재밌고 크게 모난 곳 없어서 일반적으로 추천할 만한 게임. 아쉬운 점은 1. 중간중간에 플레이 흐름 끊어먹는 스토리 연출이 몇 번 있는데, 적당히 은유로 넘기는 게 낫지 않았을까 싶음. 특히 그 파트들 패드 조작감이 너무 구려서 마우스 쓰게 만들기까지 함 2. 일부 사이드 퀘스트가 좀 플레이 감각이 별로긴 했음

这游戏也就美术了，其他的纯折磨。 糟糕的战斗设计，为什么不能上攻击， 糟糕的死亡诅咒设计 导致死过一次和没死的状态就是2个游戏 糟糕的跳跃手感，平台边缘无法起跳，空中变轨手感一坨

great game

Great art, great music, fun platforming. Not the best metroidvania I've ever played, but nothing was really frustrating and it doesn't overstay its welcome. There's better value for twenty bucks, but definitely worth a sale price if you like the genre.

몰입하고 싶어도 잘 이해되지 않는 스토리에, 플레이에 도움이 되지 않는 지도 구성이 이해가 되지 않습니다. 보스들이 특색있게 만들어지긴 했는데 공략이 정해져 있어서 그부분도 애먹었습니다. 다른 메트로베니아 게임 다 하고 할거 없을때 구매하세요.

There's a lot Constance does right, and also a lot it does wrong. You can tell that there was an immense amount of passion behind the visual and auditory design; the graphics are charming and pleasant, while the music is great and helps support the general charm this game has. The boss designs are fairly good as well. They mostly have unique designs and attacks, and most of them are at least somewhat to fight, and not too difficult to beat after a little practice on each. I do like the fact that you can choose to spawn in the room that you died in, essentially allowing the player to choose between a longer runback or having no i-frames. A unique challenge for sure. My main gripe is the game's exploration design philosophy. Most metroidvanias that I've played typically have the player explore areas THEN find mobility boosts that help them reexplore and discover previously inaccessible areas with the promise of rewarding finds. Constance instead gives the player the ability shortly after entering a new area, and then has you explore the new area with your new ability. This heavily disincentivizes exploration, as the main new goal of exploring an area is the new ability that grants you more mobility. By straight up being given all the mobility you need to progress, there is a lot less opportunity and reason to actually explore. On my initial run through, I never even unlocked the double jump, never got any paint or health upgrades, and didn't complete most of the side quests because there genuinely wasn't a reason to. There was nothing to stop me from rushing progression, so why wouldn't I choose progression? The game's level and reward design shouldn't present exploration as a choice; it should make exploration a necessity to smoothly progress through the game. Still, despite that large overarching issue, Constance is still a short and enjoyable metroidvania, that I honestly enjoyed a lot more on my second run through (for speedrun/100% achievements)
