"Every canvas is a journey all its own.” – Helen Frankenthaler Gaming host Ace dives deep into Constance, a hand-painted 2D Metroidvania that blends precise Celeste-like platforming with Hollow Knight-inspired exploration. We were provided a review key by the developers, but this is not a sponsored review all thoughts are honest and our own. Constance follows the journey of a paint-brush-wielding artist trapped in a decaying inner world shaped by her mental health. With striking hand-drawn visuals, fluid animation, tight movement mechanics, and emotional storytelling, Constance stands out as one of the most unique indie games of 2025.
