Hello Neighbor Reviews
Hello Neighbor starts off strong, with a strange mystery and interesting place to explore. As you progress through the game's act it quickly loses momentum eventually ending with a whimper instead of the game many were hoping for since the early alphas.
Before I bought the game, I watched the trailer. The developers really took care with the trailer, the truth is that not all that glitters is gold. I was very interested in the game, so I bought it. In the end, it was rather disappointing for me and I would have a hard time looking for positives. Eventually, however, one was found. One of them is graphic processing. This graphic is probably not for everyone, but I love the processing, which is reminiscent of animated films for children. Furthermore, I have to admit that at the moment when our nice neighbor was locking that cellar, I absolutely needed to find out what the lecher was hiding in that cellar. But I'm not sure that this particular plot would keep all the players playing.

Where the problems begin is that within the confines of the game itself there’s pretty well no direction, hints, or clues to what it is you’ll need to do...
While the controls are still iffy, this stealth survival game has seen the world and puzzles polished to a very satisfying shine!
Frequently more frustrating than frightening, Hello Neighbor is a disaster from top to bottom. There's a nugget of a good idea here, but between the irrational puzzle design and inconsistent AI, the finished product isn't up to snuff.
An interesting premise, a striking visual style, and a mysterious game world that's bound to keep the gaming community pondering on what's going on in here, Hello Neighbor had the potential to be an iconic classic. Instead, the final release is nothing more than an overpriced, clunky, and incomplete mess of an experience. It's a shame, really.
With a shallow plot, frustrating gameplay, and serious technical problems, Hello Neighbor fails miserably to turn its creative concept into something fun and memorable. Everything seems to conspire against the player's progress throughout the game and surely a good portion of those who try to venture here may end up losing interest at the beginning of the experience.

Please won't you be my neighbor? I'll pass.
This is a mess of broken mechanics that has a lot of potential, but unfortunately potential is all that it has going for it.
Hello Neighbor is an interesting release that is a bit too vague for its own good. It relies on some wonky physics for several of its puzzles, some of which are a bit “out there” about their solutions. It's a game that you're either going to love or hate as you try to complete its 8 to 10 hours long campaign.
A great idea for a game, has an interesting look, and is reasonably fun to play. The potential for it to be better is felt constantly, and you can't help but feel disappointed that many things you hope to see don't ever happen.
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.
Hello Neighbor is a complete mess with tons of bugs, stupid AI and confusing storyline. The performance is even worse than the demo version.

While it does take a fair amount of patience, Hello Neighbor has all the tension and atmosphere you want from a game primarily geared towards stealth.
Ultimately, the game is a mish-mash of concepts and half-cooked ideas that are never fully developed, wrapped up in a cutesy aesthetic that is at odds with its (at times) dark and disturbing themes. This is one to avoid.
player contests and player vs. environment puzzles. Currently, Hello Neighbor tries to have its cake while eating it too, and everyone goes home disappointed when that happens.
Hello Neighbor is a stealth game for youtubers. It’s really annoying and obviously unfinished and as such makes a great theme for a funny video. During gameplay I had three distinct feelings: boredom, discomfort and frustration. And sometimes anger when some flaws looked intentional. Avoid!

Hello Neighbor is incompetent and barely playable as a horror, stealth, or adventure game, in addition to being incoherent as a narrative.
Puzzles and stealth are the main attractions of this peculiar videogame by the russian Dynamic Pixels. A title fill with good intentions but full of bad results

The basic idea of the gameplay is solid, but due to the bad implementation the game only barely escapes the total loss.
