Possible disadvantages

• Limited 3D Support
  Construct 2 is primarily a 2D game engine and lacks the capability to handle 3D game development efficiently.
• Licensing Cost
  While there is a free version, more advanced features and export options require purchasing a license, which can be costly for some users.
• Performance Overhead
  Games built with Construct 2 can have performance overhead compared to those developed with native code, which can affect the performance on less powerful devices.
• Limited Customization
  While the visual scripting language is powerful, it can be restrictive for advanced users who need more control and customization over their game logic and performance.
• Dependency on HTML5
  Construct 2’s primary export format is HTML5, which may not be suitable for all types of games, particularly those that require high-performance or native features.
• Secondary Focus on Newer Engine
  Construct 2 is not the latest engine from Scirra; Construct 3 is its successor. Newer updates and features are likely to prioritize Construct 3, potentially slowing down the development and support for Construct 2.
