Hello Neighbor taps into a childhood moment one or more of us might have experienced while living in the suburbs. There was always at least one house that for some inexplicable reason emanated a mysterious and creepy vibe that led the neighborhood kids to come up with all sorts of wild, baseless...

Really fun. My 6 year old loves it. It is very whimsical and cute. I even enjoy playing it.

It seems as if Hello Neighbor has been around for ages, as YouTubers have been reacting (or should we say screaming) to Dynamic Pixels' indie game for months now via its various pre-release builds in early access, but it's only just officially launched in full.

Hello Neighbor is a very interesting case study of the benefits – and drawbacks – of the Early Access model pioneered by Steam. The first publicly available Alpha was released in 2015, with this final release making its way into the big bad world at the end of 2017.

Concept is awesome; Neighbor is creepy…at first

No real consequence for getting caught; Physics are inconsistent; Puzzles are out of whack

Great game. Very challenging trying to solve things. Keeps you entertained.

Hello Neighbor looks like a great collection of different mechanics, with a horrifying stealth game embroiled in a reverse Home Alone scenario. With a gripping premise, and a clever AI programme that allows the neighbour to constantly learn the boy's routes, to set traps for the next attempt, this...
