Hello Neighbor Reviews
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.
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.
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.
Hello Neighbor has some good ideas, a dark story which should have been developed further and a number of issues that make it a horrible time the further you progress.
Hello Neighbor tries to offer a unique stealth horror experience unlike any other, and in my opinion, does it well. There are issues such as the difficulty of the puzzles and the physics engine but overall a great game worth your time. I’d recommend it even if you’re not a fan of horror games.
Despite its bugs and storyline, Hello Neighbor is still a decent game. The puzzles are creative and a lot of fun to solve, the art style is good, and the Neighbor AI mechanic adds an additional layer to the gameplay.
A buggy, uninjoyable mess of a game, trying and failing to emulate better titles
In the end, even the main premise of the game is stymied by poorly executed puzzles.
As much as I looked forward to this title, I haven’t been this disappointed with a game in a very long time.
Hello Neighbor is not a game that should be taken lightly, but it is one that will polarize the fans.
Dynamic Pixels create in Hello Neighbor a unique experience in which the adaptive A.I. defies all expectations. Despite that, the final act is quite a miss-step when it comes to the puzzle elements. If you won't give Hello Neighbor a try for yourself then at least check out a stream of the game and enjoy it there.
Now that the game is out, I honestly have to say that I am a little bit underwhelmed. The concepts in the early access beta was not expanded upon. While it was refined to some extent, the game is still without its bugs and problems. The game showed so much promise but it released in practically the same state. Nothing significant was added, just more of the same. I probably would have had a different opinion if I jumped into this game after it was released but since I saw it grow, the new release holds very little for me.
I was so desperate for Hello Neighbor to end that I regularly sought out ways to try and bypass the intended game. There could be something buried deep down, but the general execution of this steal-horror blend holds it back drastically. Even the quaint colourful world is hampered by the general sluggish feel and poor controls.
