Super Adventure Hand Review Cons:

Cannot rebind controls.
No touchscreen support.
The mechanics take some getting used to.
The hand seems overly sticky and when paired with the camera it just gets frustrating in what should be simple places.
You are never sure how much damage you can take before death. Movement really doesn’t feel good.
The level timer starts and continues through any cutscenes or fly overs.
The fingers look creepily unnatural.
Some of the level design is very basic and uneventful, but then sometimes it flat out just repeats itself.
No online or local leaderboards.
You cannot change the camera sensitivity.
So many dumb needless deaths.
There is little replay value.
