Chris of RGN writes, "Constant C is a good addition to the platformer genre and some of their unique features work while some don’t. The game has an interesting story, great music, well thought out stages, and the puzzles are plentiful. Were it that Constant C was in a less saturated genre it would be the type of game where an indie company would shine, but it being in the place where it is it is hard to say that this is anything revolutionary. It is some times unnecessarily difficult due to confusion of the gravitational shift feature alone. The art style is interesting, but something we’ve seen before. That is what this game really is though. It is overall something we’ve seen before, but reskinned. That isn’t to say it isn’t enjoyable. I enjoyed the 5+ hours of play I got (Even though some of my time was me blurting out explicit words in frustration) and for $10 it is at a great value. However, Constant C isn’t a must have.
Constant C is a great platformer in every way, but that is nothing new to the platformer genre which is already saturated with great games. If you are an avid platform gamer then you will enjoy Constant C at a low price of $9.99 on the PC or the 360. However, if you are looking for a game changer look elsewhere, but if you are looking for a couple of hours of fun, frustration, and enjoyment at a low cost then I would recommend this for you."

Time has been used… time and time again (sorry I couldn’t help it) as a mechanic within storytelling. Time is generally a constant within the human perception. Every second, of every minute, of every hour is something that we tend to worry about with our generally short lifespans in the grand scheme of things. Time within games is usually used to gauge how fast something can be accomplished or how much time is left to accomplish a goal. Time has been used to either speed things up, slow them down, or even stop them for a moment. What if time stopped however? What if nothing but you were able to move while everything else remained frozen? Constant C is the story of this “what if” scenario.
Way too often, at the end of a console’s life cycle, a few smaller indie titles will pass along with little mention or fanfare. Some of these games are true diamonds in the rough, largely unnoticed by the masses flocking to the newer and shinier consoles. Constant C, one of the latest PlayStation 3 releases, is not one of these games.
Push Square: "Constant C is enjoyable enough, but it never really ventures beyond that. In spite of a few areas where the title feels tonally disjointed, this is an entertaining intergalactic affair that may be worth taking a look at. Strong controls, cunning puzzles, and a surprisingly solid story offset a disconnected soundtrack and steep learning curve. It’s not bad, then – but in shooting for the stars, this release ends up tepidly hovering somewhere in the stratosphere."
