    In fact, it's a shame that such a good game, so poorly evaluated. I personally liked the game and bugs I wasn't really paying attention. After all, the essence of the game is not in the number of bugs, but in the plot, which no one here has disassembled, but simply called the game bad. (I used a translator, so there may be mistakes)

    Hello Neighbor is very good game for me. I know it's so buggy but I love this game with all bugs. Sometimes you can have escapes that can excite you. No game will ever replace Hello Neighbor for me. I recommend you to try.

    I really love the game i would giving it an 11 out of 10.

    The only problem is the act 3/ alpha 3 house. It is just stupid platforming and it took me half an hour to get the green key. But i dont care about this, because i LOVE act 1 and act 2. This is real fun i dont know why you voted that bad for this game.

    This game is a straight up MASTERPIECE, there is nothing wrong it. Just like SirSebPlayz singed jg, it is broken and uncounterable. People literally change their pfp to Theodore peterson, because the game is just so good. Everyone play it instead of buggy games like fug bables

    Это одна из наилучших игр! В ней множество головоломок и тайн. Сожете ли вы узнать, что у соседа в подвале? И что скрывает мистер Питерсон.

    despite the problems that this game has the idea and story alone sells it to me but there is an 8/10 plus game hiding here with enough bug fixes polishing better controls and more time spent developing the game this could have been a horror gem there are also to many ideas it tries to juggle at once if it had picked one weather that would be the horror the mystery or the story i would lovedespite the problems that this game has the idea and story alone sells it to me but there is an 8/10 plus game hiding here with enough bug fixes polishing better controls and more time spent developing the game this could have been a horror gem there are also to many ideas it tries to juggle at once if it had picked one weather that would be the horror the mystery or the story i would love this game my overall rating is 7/10… Expand

    I can't believe how many people are hating this game. This is one of the games that are absolutely interesting. The game choud be acctually better of course, if the developers aren't such lazy and bad by executing it, but it has still recieved a better score than that. I know that there are more HN lovers than haters.
    First, Reasons why this game is in some ways good:
    - good idea - good    I can't believe how many people are hating this game. This is one of the games that are absolutely interesting.

I know that there are more HN lovers than haters.
    First, Reasons why this game is in some ways good:
    - good idea
    - good telled story
    - big house with secrets (in Act 3)
    - a good enemy (the Shadowman)
    - good item stacking systen

    Now, Reasons why this is somewhere bad:

    - no hints to puzzles
    - bad puzzles
    - plenty of bugs
    - bad made nightmare levels

    The Graphics are fine and the AI is NOT bad. It's not good but also not terrible.
    every person that hates this game, are persons that haven't played it corectely.
    this game series even still has potential that can be used for being better.
    in the new game HN2 was a bit of a failure too, but that doesn't mean than this series lost it's potential + you don't know what happens in the future. You don't know that they coud release a new Patch, new game and so
    The Original game is in my opinion good and shoud deserve a higher meterscore than that.    … Expand

    Hello Neighbor is um…er…interesting to say the least, with much less emphasis on horror elements than would be expected from all the preview videos people have been watching on Steam/YouTube for a number of months now. If you picture Pixar remaking The Burbs and replacing Tom Hanks with a kid as the protagonist, you’ll have at least a slight idea of what this game is like. The art style isHello Neighbor is um…er…interesting to say the least, with much less emphasis on horror elements than would be expected from all the preview videos people have been watching on Steam/YouTube for a number of months now. If you picture Pixar remaking The Burbs and replacing Tom Hanks with a kid as the protagonist, you’ll have at least a slight idea of what this game is like. The art style is great and the cheery color scheme and cartoony graphics make for a whimsical take on the creepy-suburban-neighbor-up-to-no-good theme.

    Is it worth the $30? Absolutely not! Well, at least not in its current state as there are definitely some bugs and glitchy gameplay mechanics that need to be fixed.

    Examples: achievements are broken and don’t unlock, or perhaps you need to go with one of the alpha builds on the beta tab under properties when right-clicking on the game in your library to get them to work – I’m just speculating on that; sometimes if you get too close to a door you need to eventually go through but can’t open just yet, it’s possible to throw an object that you need to make use of through the door, making it impossible to progress further unless you restart the act, of course that’s assuming that you haven’t already made use of that object and that you tossed it rather than using it when at the door, such as a key that unlocks the padlock on the door – good news here is that this shouldn’t happen too often, if at all, if you’re careful; occasionally, when attempting to make use of stacked objects to solve one of the game’s many environmental-based puzzles, the objects will tip over, which is expected, but the unexpected part is that you fall all of 5 or 10 feet to your death which normally only happens from much higher up.

    Now for the core gameplay elements. Stealth is kind of a factor but like the horror aspect, largely takes a backseat to simply running for your life and narrowly avoiding ‘The Neighbor’ by jumping/climbing like a total freak to avoid him. Works sometimes, other times it doesn’t (you have infinite stamina, so that works, plus you can oddly climb ladders at about 378 mph even while holding stuff…that, um, works too but is more comical than anything). Stealth definitely seems like it should be more of a factor and he’ll find you more often than he should. Also, it seems odd that he’ll break windows in his own house to more quickly come after you. Unique you say, hecks yes, but odd…absolutely! I think that aspect alone will have many gamers scratching their heads. Then there are the puzzles. Many puzzles. Sooooo many puzzles that I quickly lost count. They’re environmental/physics based and largely involve box stacking but the reason for doing so/the objective of this is so complex and obscure at times that sadly many gamers will end up getting stuck and likely give up. The tediousness of figuring all this stuff out and where to get objects you need to progress is ultimately going to turn many gamers off from wanting to put more time in this game, even if they normally love exploring and figuring out challenging things in games. I personally love this aspect of the game but I feel that the devs definitely need to turn it down a notch in a future build if they want to attract more casual gamers to it. That and the asking price. Also, the vast majority of things you encounter in the game, most notably the weird pseudo flashbacks or vision quests into the neighbor’s past, or whatever you want to call them, largely make absolutely no sense whatsoever, most notably old-timey, semi articulated mannequins pushing carts through a grocery store that looks like something out of Beetlejuice….don’t even ask.

    Despite all of its quirks and a number of buggy issues, I can’t help but like this game and it will be interesting to see the direction the devs take it in, perhaps some DLC or holiday themed updates.

    UPDATE (12/15/17):

    Now that I've managed to get past the hellish puzzles and broken areas of this game, finally completing it, I can assuredly proclaim, as many others have indicated, that the ending truly makes no sense whatsoever. It will be nice once the achievements work, though I almost dread going through it again. Still, I can't help but look forward to doing so.    … Expand

    Controversial but good gameplay, complex but simple puzzles and more beautiful graphics than water, but in itself there are mistakes that can be fixed with patches but despite these bugs, they did not hurt me the game and I enjoyed the game to the fullest.

    A game with an incredible story with a lot of misterys! There are many theorys to and, in my opinion, that makes it a good and intense game.

    Unfortunately, only an amount of frustration and badly made game is hidden in the tempting package. For a good horror adventure, you must go elsewhere.

    The concept for the game is great, level design is solid and the visuals are sometimes nice but the whole thing is painfully underdone. [02/2018, p.46]

    The game is embarrassingly simple in its gameplay, but at the same time it’s incredibly difficult due to a poor technical state and a terrible game design. [Issue#282]
