It does lack a little of the magic from the first game, which made hello neighbor so special like the game breaking bugs, the box stacking parkour, being able to interact with a lot of things (you can’t just pick up a random pot anymore) but this game is definitely more polished than the last. Smoother cut scenes better character design, better graphics, and much better art style. Which is why I give Hello Neighbor 2 an 8 on the metacritic. Expand

    This game is definitely a joy to look at, Very pleasant but simple art design. Exploration is actually really big plus in hello neighbor 2.

Puzzles are hugely unintuitive and without a guide I am certain that I will never found a proper solution... IA of the neighbors are just bad and frustrating. Game is very short and there are also a big amount of bugs. This franchise have actually nice potential to be fun but definitely puzzles must be more intuitive and less demanding at least for finishing main story. Expand

    Games like Hello Neighbor 2 shows that hype can lead to anger, disappointments and errors. That's a problem because Youtubers hype up games and on release day, disappointing results.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a big fan of hello neighbor game. I've played all alphas and betas. When I found out about the output hello neighbor 2 I immediately went to come to her.
    And ... This is some kind of cringe.
    Let's break it down by all criteria. Plot:
    Hello Neighbor 1 is game over in itself. But despite this, the developers had many options for the new game. Reveal what happened to Aaron, tell more about the neighbor. In the end, it was possible to come up with something with Raven. But no, we didn't get it. The same game, only the main character is not Nick, but a journalist.
    The plot didn't reveal anything new.
    Gameplay
    In the first hello neighbor there were challenging and creative puzzles. To solve them it was necessary to think carefully. In hello neighbor 2 riddles made quite childish. Even a child can solve them.
    open world
    In the alpha version, all houses were open. There was variety. This has been removed in the release version.
    AI
    This is **** I don't think it's worth talking about it in detail. It is a fact. We were all deceived when we talked about AI that would sync with the internet and predict the actions of the players.

    Conclusion This game is not worthy to be called Hello Neighbor 2. This is Hello Neighbor 1 : Journalist DLC

    Possibly even worse than the first game. You'll find yourself doing the same routine over and over and over and over again, it is confusing, frustrating and unbelievably bugged. We encountered a bug that made progression impossible so we had to reload from the last save point. That reset the game. We lost hours.

    A solid game that is suitable for players who are starting with adventures or puzzle games. It features easy puzzles and several smaller adventures in individual houses that ultimately make up a complete game. However, in everything you feel that it could have been done better and without bugs.

    Hello Neighbor 2 is an improvement over the earlier game but still has a few issues to work out. That being said I did find it to be an enjoyable and challenging experience.

    An inventive folow up to the original Hello Neighbour. This creepy puzzler has tons of potential and makes vast improvements upon our first trip to Raven Brooks, Jsut maybe hold of on your trip until some of the creaky floorboards have been fixed.
