The Hand of Glory Critic Reviews

A love letter to the sworn lovers of traditional point 'n' click adventure games. All of them should, in return, make sure to buy the game at full price, without waiting for it to be included in any kind of bundle, if they want to have the chance to play more games like The Hand of Glory in the future.

The Hand of Glory overflows with ideas. Not all of them are spot on, but that’s a risk you have to take when you want to do something that goes a little out of the classic schemes. The first impact is alienating because everything is not very homogeneous, from the graphics to the continuous change of register in the narration, but in the long run this strange alchemical formula works, thanks to a plot that turns towards decidedly unexpected territories and leaves the player with a giant cliffhanger, raising the hype for the second part of the game.

The frustration of one or two ambiguous puzzles can’t dampen one’s spirits for The Hand of Glory, a love letter to traditional point-and-click adventure games with its own sense of fun and wit.
