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]

Honestamente Até legal Tem bugs e tal Mais tem uma lore boa Honestamente, eu queria que eles fizessem um Recode nesse jogo, usando a unreal engine 5 e melhorando a IA do vizinho Agora é só esperar o hello neighbor 3 pra ver se eles vão fazer isso mesmo

Хорош только сюжет, который примитивен, но понятен. Остальное ужасно. Одни только баги.

The Overpowered Noobs
Rather than try and make a quick buck out of cheap thrills, Dynamic Pixels and tinyBuild took the popular trope of hide-and-seek horror and twisted it into something new and creative. There is a great game buried here, as long as the development studio fixes the problems currently plaguing it... And if they can manage to really polish it, then the horror genre has much innovation to offer.

Hello Neighbor is a frustrating slog through a gauntlet of illogical puzzles that rely on persistence and thoroughness far more than cleverness, observation, or ingenuity. The stealth is hit-or-miss, alternating between feeling too punishing and borderline irrelevant from act to act. Some clever level design and a clear talent for making me feel creeped out eased the frustration, but don’t present enough of a reason for me to recommend anyone put themselves through 15-20 hours of this. I wish I’d just stayed on my own side of the fence.

Hello Neighbor is a complete mess with tons of bugs, stupid AI and a confusing storyline. The performance is even worse than the demo version.

It’s a shame the final version of Hello Neighbor isn’t what we wanted it to be. The great concept is poorly executed, with plenty of issues, ranging from the physics to the AI or the puzzle design.

Game Informer
Hello Neighbor is unpolished to the point that it feels unfinished. The overpowered enemy A.I. makes the gameplay miserable; models and animations are stiff, and physics critical to completing puzzles are so woefully uncalibrated that much of the game feels like you’re stacking boxes and hoping for the best. The game falls so short of its genre companions that it’s hard to recommend it to anyone, in spite of its beautiful aesthetic. Hello Neighbor simply isn’t fun or compelling even when it’s working.

Hello Neighbor is a game you persevere in due to sheer luck rather than any sort of actual skill, foresight, or cleverness. There's no catharsis, insight, or revelations waiting at the end of the ordeal, just a sort of uneasy malaise over what the images and environments near the end are meant to represent. As such, a simple, appealing concept is rendered inert.

An exemplary “YouTube shocker” of a game. Avoid at all costs.

un gioco che attira sia per il suo gameplay semplice ma efficace che per la sua storia intrigante. 7.5/10

Bem ruim, decepcionante eu diria, o pior jogo que já joguei e nem digo os bugs, eu realmente, prefiro bater a cabeça na parede a ter que jogar novamente esse jogo, entre jogar esse jogo horrível e jogar qualquer outro eu prefiriria sempre em todas as vidas jogar outro jogo, pq esse jogo sem condição, além do gráfico ele não tem muito a oferecer, literalmente te joga em um mapa, não tem objetivos, a não ser se matar para encontrar uma chave ou cartão que permita o avanço no jogo, não tem história, trilha sonora chucra e o vizinho nem se fala, chato e irritante, te vê a kilometros de distância e te persegue até não poder mais, um dos piores jogos que já finalizei
