Critic Reviews
- Its sense of tension is there from the beginning, though, so there’s no doubting just how evocative this game is. Once you’re into, it’s easy to lose a lot of time, rummaging through drawers and sneaking through rooms and revealing clue after clue to what your neighbor has really been up to. The house is truly enormous, so while it isn’t the cheapest game going, you do get a lot of play hours for your money.
Kirstie Summers · Aug 14, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Hello Neighbor could be fun, within the right parameters. The neighbour would hold a lot more terror if his actions carried any weight. The puzzling aspect of switches, hidden doors and traps would be more enjoyable were they staged within an inspiring world or using interesting concepts. But the game fails on all of these points, not holding attention, not really projecting any fear beyond the first few encounters, and the world feels as flat as the polygons used to build it.
Dan Lipscombe · Aug 13, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - All in all, Hello Neighbor is a massive disappointment and not a very good game in the slightest. While the game’s nail-biting AI can make for some interesting moments every now and then, it doesn’t make up for how hard the game is, how buggy it can be, and how bad the art style looks. At $29.99, there’s absolutely no chance I can recommend it to anyone, unless of course, you like games that tell you nothing about what to do.
Tanner Pierce · Aug 10, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - If you don’t mind solving abstract puzzles and throwing everything (including the kitchen sink) at your objectives all while constantly avoiding a particularly annoying antagonist, then you might give this game a try. Please won’t you be my neighbor? I’ll pass.se won’t you be my neighbor? I’ll pass.
Jordan Rudek · Aug 10, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Other than the portability – which, without tilt aiming, feels like an opportunity wasted – there's no compelling reason to pick the Switch port of Hello Neighbor over any others. Worse still is the feeling you've already seen all the best bits, just like an all-too-revealing movie trailer, but that's an issue with Hello Neighbor on all platforms.
Tom Baines · Aug 07, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Sticking with Hello Neighbor takes a lot of patience and forgiveness. While the lure of the secret in the basement is a strong one, the glitches, complicated puzzles, and problematic AI all make for a giant slog. With improvements this indie could be a spine-tingling horror game, one which plays on deep childhood fears and leaves a lasting impression, but in its current state, we wish that we'd just stayed at home.
Rebecca Stow · Aug 02, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Overall, I would say give this a go, I think there is some fun to be had with this game you just need to adapt to bad controls and look up what to do. I personally would not invest in this game. Stealth horror games aren’t for everyone and I think there are many better attempts out there on mobile.
Sam Simmons · Jul 30, 2018 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Frustrating in almost everything it tries to do, Hello Neighbor's interesting concept is completely wasted by its execution.
Jimmy Donnellan · Jul 27, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Charming at first but ultimately the victim of lofty ambition, Hello Neighbor is a game that simply can't capitalize off of its interesting premise. Quality-wise, it should have stayed in Early Access for longer until its vision was properly nailed down.
Ravi Sinha · Jan 09, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - I want to like Hello Neighbor, I really do. I love the idea of a Rear Window type video game, constantly pressured by an antagonist that could upend everything I’d done in an instant. This game is not what I had envisioned, instead giving me wonky tech and an adversary who’s about as frightening as Barney the Dinosaur when all is said and done. I’m hoping that updates to the game might flesh some of these issues out, but right now the Rear Window is where I want this game to stay.
