## Reviews

### "Started because its easy to use, stayed because its very powerful" — 5.0/5

> **Julia** | *13 November 2022* | Fine Art | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The event-sheet-based programming was the reason I started using Construct 3, since it's so easy, fast, and intuitive to make games with it, but this doesn't limit the engine in any means, the engine is very powerful and has everything my team needs to develop awesome 2D games with it. We have been using C3 for 3 years and have no plans to change.
> 
> **Cons**: 1. C3 doesn't have good 3D support, which could be useful for 2D games when working with cameras and depth.2. It doesn't have native support for console exports.3. The project structure makes it hard to multiple people to use the engine at the same time in the same project, making it not so good for bigger teams.
> 
> My experience has been awesome, C3 makes game development a really fun experience since the workflow becomes faster and simpler compared to other engines. I have no plans to stop using it as long as my team keeps working on 2D projects, and I know that the engine will get even more features since the devs are very active and easy to reach.

### "Powerful and Easy-to-Use Game Engine" — 5.0/5

> **Wael** | *23 September 2025* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I find Construct 3 very easy to use, with a beautiful interface, powerful features, and great flexibility that allows me to create games quickly and efficiently.
> 
> **Cons**: I cannot load different images from the web into separate sprites. For example, if I want to create three sprites with three different image URLs, Construct 3 always shows the same image instead of displaying them separately.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Construct 3 has been very positive. It is easy to use, has a beautiful interface, and provides powerful features that make game development fast and enjoyable. Although there are some limitations, such as difficulties with loading different images from the web into separate sprites, I still find it a great tool for creating games efficiently.

### "Useful for those who can’t code" — 3.0/5

> **Brandon** | *17 August 2020* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use. User friendly for beginners.
> 
> **Cons**: Construct 3 suffers from a lack of support. Scirra are focused on introducing new features to Construct 3 constantly so users see the value of what is a rather pricey subscription. The downside to this is that they don’t prioritise fixing issues when they arise. I am an app developer and I was alerted by a user to an issue with one of my apps that resulted from a broken IAP component in Construct 3. This issue was potentially costing me money. I complained about the issue on Scirra’s forums. The issue affected numerous other developers, not just me. An issue was raised on github do that it could be fixed. Well it took over a year to fix. For such an important element that impacts on users ability to make money from Construct 3 you would think they would have given priority to fixing it. Apparently not so. This really left a bad taste in my mouth. &#10;&#10;As a result of Scirra’s inability to offer an appropriate level of support to their subscribers I ended my subscription. I began coding in Swift instead and have since shipped two apps written in Swift.  Using a proper programming language makes you realise how limited Construct 3 really is. If you wish to make  good games fo yourself a favour and learn to program in a proper language. Your games will be more professional and will be optimised and will run better. A programming language simply offers more flexibility than something like Construct 3 ever could.
> 
> Very poor customer support. I cannot recommend Construct 3 due to this. Save your money and learn to program properly\!

### "Intuitive, Fast, and Fun—Perfect for 2D Game Creation" — 5.0/5

> **martin** | *18 September 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Construct 3 is how accessible and intuitive it makes game development. You don’t need to be an expert in coding to create complex games because its visual event system lets you design gameplay logic in a very visual, almost “drag-and-drop” way.
> 
> **Cons**: The thing I like least about Construct 3 is that it can get performance-heavy for larger or more complex games. Since it’s mostly event-driven and browser-based, if you have tons of objects, effects, or intricate logic, the game can start to lag or require optimization tricks that aren’t immediately obvious.
> 
> My overall experience with Construct 3 has been very positive, especially for 2D game development and rapid prototyping. It’s intuitive, visually clear, and beginner-friendly, so I could focus on designing gameplay and experimenting with mechanics without getting bogged down in coding syntax.

### "Construct the underrated game engine" — 5.0/5

> **Nikola** | *17 September 2025* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how easy it is to build anything complex in this simple game engine. I also like how it works on my browser no matter where I am (with some limitations). It also exports my projects into already ready files to publish\! I love it.
> 
> **Cons**: It didn't get a lot of features which were in Construct Classic. Also, it lacks non-HTML devices exporting (which is understandable). Also, it is a bit difficult to find Addon SDK
> 
> Underrated engine\! It is very robust and simple at the same time\! It is my favorite game engine\! I like it. Only major issues are that I cannot make Switch and PS3 games. Great game engine 11\\12\!
