Cannot view controls in the game.
No Googleplay achievements.
Does heat the phone a fair bit but you can negate it somewhat.
Ugly textures in places especially horrid jagged buildings and backdrops.
At times the menus don’t always feel as smooth or clear as you would like.
You can save whenever but you lose progress in level regardless when you exit.
The cutscenes look low-quality next to the gameplay.
The tutorial is lackluster and doesn’t always explain all the elements/possibilities or even the HUD.
Bad ragdoll effects at times.
