What is Construct 2?
Scirra Construct is a 2D game development engine with a focus on building games visually. No programming is required though the software uses a visual method for event handling that relies on programming concepts like variables, loops and conditions. It provides a powerful form of scripting that's as easy as clicking, dragging and dropping.
Construct exports to HTML5 with export options for online sites like 
Kongregate and 
Scirra Arcade as well as exports for 
PhoneGap for mobile games.
The software is available in two version: Construct 2 - a Windows-only software with a one-time purchase. Construct 3 - a web app using a subscription for access.
The opensource 
Construct Classic is also available, but it is retired and no longer developed.
Construct 2 was taken off of the market in July 1, 2020, full support will be ceased in July 1, 2021.https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/buy-construct?action=c2retirement

Construct 2 has become the best version of this engine
The quickest way to produce stable and quality prototypes and games.
Construct is an event based game engine. The free version has limited events. This is paramount to having a free version of a C++ compiler that will only compile 1000 lines of code or less.
I have been using Construct engine to create games for almost 3 yrs now so i have used both C2 & C3 and can tell the difference, so C2 was a good engine for simpler games but lacked performance and a lot of features but C3 has overcome this with its new basic required features like Share Plugin, Build Feature, Timeline and more. Also they are updating regularly with new features, that you can find here... C3 Intro & Features also recently they added javascript support that can help you if you are a beginner and want to learn language. You can see games made with c3 here ... games made with C3 and games created by me here... games created by me in C3 Finally, i would like to say that with reasonable subscription model and regular updates, it is one of the best 2D game engines out there.
This is a great software to make Html5 games and apps.
Great software that has the ability to make games without a code and has plugins or add-ons that can make your game more powerful and you can make Isometric games

You can't make 3D games in Construct.

thanks for the correction I meant to say Isometric games using a plugin named Q3D
