    Secret Neighbor doesn't do a good job at being an asymmetrical multiplayer that kids can play. At least the Switch version looks incomplete, and to make matters worse, the game is heavily unbalanced and the maps feel repetitive. Not being able to play with friends is only another reason to at least wait until the game is more complete.

In theory this can sound like a good time, but, as has usually been the case with this series, in execution it’s a hot mess. The fact that it is a dedicated multiplayer game is the first red flag, as even popular indie titles tend to struggle to maintain their communities, making the sell-by date on this title any time now in all likelihood. But what about the quality of the experience? Does it make a case to keep people playing? In a word: No. Consistent with the entire series it has a problem of having a cool and unique look but offering very little to pair with it in terms of depth, quality of play, and general coherence, but enlisting some random people to try to somehow work together in some way with as well? It doesn’t end well, and it doesn’t feel like it was balanced or thought through sufficiently to have made that a possibility either.
