![]() ![]() You have to use stealth cunning and puzzle-solving skills to negotiate the map and find out what that nasty neighbor was doing. The game launches with you as a kid in the street who witnesses something strange in his neighbor’s small suburban house. Hello Neighbor is broken down into acts and in each one the house is very different and increasingly expansive. American spelling aside (neighbour has a U in it and so does colour) I turned off my spell check and got on with reviewing this beautifully weird game. It is a software survival puzzle game with a really unique style. It looks and performs badly and the whole thing is just really blurry.Hello Neighbor is a horror stealth game from Dynamic Pixels and tiny Build and it has just been released on iOS devices and PS4, it could already be played on mobile, PC and Xbox. Coming to the Nintendo Switch has only echoed my previous experiences, Except it is not that great on the Switch from a performance and user experience point of view. The mode is always the same, team killing is very common, combat is sloppy and it all culminates into an experience I don’t want. Movement is horrible with it almost turning in broken increments rather than being smooth, you get no tutorial or any help at all so good luck new players. The connection to a game is fast but that’s the last good bit of news. It all sounds really good and could be a real winner, but then you play it. It’s a really good idea, it’s all set in the house, and locations of gear and keys will randomize every run, it’s dark and you need torches. ![]() ![]() One person will be the neighbor and try and find the kids before they find the keys to the basement. Here it’s the Neighbour series going a darker route, the original Hello Neighbour game was a single-player stealth game with puzzle elements, whereas Secret Neighbour is multiplayer-only and going for a Dead By Deadlight approach. I always applaud devs who take a franchise and try it in another genre.
