Hello Neighbor Reviews

by Matatattat

I downloaded this game on my ipad and loved it, could not get enough of it. But then while playing act three is started getting buggy. First i would fall through floors, randomly die, and get caught when the neighbor was no where in sight. But that all pales to when all if sudden the game crashed and erased my saved game. Now it is a short game and i greatly enjoy it so i wasn't too upset at having to start over, but then I tried to download this game using family sharing onto my son’s ipad. He saw me playing it and was very excited to play it on his own device. Now, ipad 2 mini is clearly listed as a device compatible with this game on HelloNeighbor store. But multiple downloads of this game have proven that this is simply not true. So now I get to deal with a saddened young child who was excited to play this game and doesn’t get to because of what, I don’t even know. The only reason I am even giving HelloNeighbor a 2 and not a 1 is because I intend to keep playing it on my ipad at least. Though, if i lose my saved game again I will promptly delete it and make sure tiny build never sees another dime from me and try to forget that I spent money on an incomplete product.

Hello neighbor is a game were your neighbor is a creepy guy. He chases you out of his house you find things and knickknacks. To open the basement. You eventually find out he has his children and other kids in his basement as, throughout the game you see SIMMING posters ( missing posters with letters mixed up.) The SIMMING kids turn out to be his own children . And there is a demon kinda ghoul in the basement as well you end up fighting,. Over all, I think that it is a game that is suspenseful and eerie. I do think it’s wrong that it even is kids in his basement, because it’s his own kids, and I know he’s supposed to be messed up in his head. But also the game , maybe shouldn’t be for kids, it says 9+ , in my opinion I think it should be at least 12 + some kids know more than others - but it should be still. Also , I don’t like how you have to pay for different chapters . Like some people don’t have enough money . And I think they should change some things like, The kids in the basement could change to a secret door in his basement that leads to something like, a cool laboratory that leads to him destroying the world, but that’s just my opinion . I really hope I helped 🌸 . -

I was so exited when this game which I loved watching you tubers play was available on mobile and also for free. However upon learning the the full game had to be purchased separately and was very expensive I was disappointed. However I was still willing to give act one a try but was again disappointed with all the other issues with the game.
Similar to what I have all ready read the controls could definitely use a lot of improvement as it is difficult the activate certain controls most commonly walking as you just get stuck sometimes and the joy stick would not react.
The upon learning that the steal series controller work for the game I got really exited as it was much easier to control. However I was again disappointed when I found out that a lot of things were not fleshed out for example not being able to pick up items, open doors or as a matter a fact activate anything with the controller instead having to use the controls on the screen.
While I noticed some other problems like some of the tap controls being very unresponsive the previous mentioned issues with the basic and necessary controls made me not want to continue playing.
The controls and responsiveness of those controls need a big overhaul, as well as if there is support for the controller, make it full support.

To start off, not saying I hate the game, the game is actually a neat concept. But I feel like you changed so much to the game, to the point where it looked like it was rushed. The art style before was great, let get to my point. You did not have to make those changes. I was really hype for this game, when I saw the announcement trailer, I thought it was going to be the best game I have ever played. But then I saw some negative changes, the AI of the neighbor didn’t do what was promise to us. The AI never cuts you off, it would just continuously follow right behind you forever, and you never can escape. When it “,learns from your every move,” the neighbor just put 16 different cameras at one door, he’s really buggy as well. But I did love the idea of the giant house, it freaked me out. What happed to the neighbor throwing chairs out the window to get threw it I thought that was cool. I can’t list everything I want to say, but I hope you read this, not in a negative way, but in a way to go forward in the future for other games you will be making. I love the idea of it, but there were some bad changes. Thank you for reading!!! 🙂

It is fun to play every once in a while but the overall gameplay is not the best. For starters the mobile controls aren’t the best so getting the game on pc or console would be better but the mobile controls aren’t the worst either. Also the game doesn’t make it too obvious on what you are supposed to do next so it is hard to figure out what you are supposed to do next. Also the basement sections of the game will almost have you pulling your hair out as the lighting is dim and it is kind of a maze in there so it is just annoying to have to navigate through it. Also the size of his house in act 3 is kind of ridiculous as half of the rooms in there don’t have anything to do with getting to the basement. It would be one thing if there were some rooms like that in act one and even act 2 but not act three as it will delay progression a lot more. The rooms are kind of interesting but I could still do without so many of them. Finally, you never understand the story that well even at the end of the game and the game is not a scary as it used to be. They also have more games in the Hello neighbor series such as Hello neighbor hide and seek which is a prequel to hello neighbor which has the same negative qualities as this game and secret neighbor which is an interesting online multiplayer social horror Hello neighbor game which is the only actually hello neighbor game in my opinion. I am giving this game 3 stars for it being OK but not the best.

by KikiTime

This game is pretty fun for the majority of it, but to get the 3rd and 4th act, you have to pay $15! I’m not some cheapskate, but I know for a game that doesn’t even end that well and is SO hard shouldn’t make you pay that much money for the other half of the game. And even though I have the right device for HelloNeighbor, It can still be a bit glitchy and sometimes the screen just turns black and I can’t move, and have to restart the game. Now for the pros of this game, I give it a 3 start because it annoys be personally sometimes, but it’s still fun as it is. Basically, there is some creepy man across from your house that is your neighbor. You have to sneak into his house and find out his secrets that he holds. I think only 10+ should play thing game because it contains some little bits of violence, 1 death (maybe more), and your neighbor is just a creep as it is. Kids shouldn’t play this game, because they may get startled by the neighbor. He has the ability to trap you in bear traps, and he knocks you out and throws you back to your lawn if he catches you on his. However, you can unlock the ability to punch, shoot (with a fake gun.) and throw things at the neighbor along with other things. Also, Hello Neighbor only works on some different devices, so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work on yours.

I’m a big fan of hello neighbor, and I decided to install the mobile version on my tablet. It’s also the tablet I’m using to write this review. Recently the game got updated and well, there is a lot of glitches. The camera is super low, which means you can see the inside of your body. Secondly, the new graphics don’t look that good, but I guess they’re ok. Thirdly, and most importantly, you can’t finish act 1. There is a glitch with the camera which makes it so you can’t use generators. Which means, I can’t press generator to activate the exit gate in the act 1 basement. Which means it would be completely pointless to buy access to acts 2 and 3, because you wouldn’t be able to access them since you can’t finish act 1. Pls fix this. Edit: I also found another glitch, you can’t look through keyholes. Edit 2: I just found out that you can use generators, except you have to get the dot in just the right spot, it’s really hard though. I’m probably not going to buy the full game until the glitches get fixed. Also, I found another glitch. You can’t walk, you can only run. Because of this, you can’t move while crouching without standing up. This doesn’t cause many problems in act 1, but it probably does in acts 2 and 3.

by SuvegEli

The game is brilliant. I have played the whole this straight through 5 times now experiencing only minor glitches that, while frustrating, did not really have much an effect on gameplay or the ability to progress through the game without having a good time. The most recent update has created a glitch that is unbearable and makes the game nearly unplayable. You now view the map through your characters chest rather than his face. When running you can see his hands way up above his head. The map does not accommodate for this error. To pick up an item no one must aim a few ‘virtual’ inches below the actual item for the system to know that is the item you are interested in. When running it feels like you are a big big running through the grass as the grass is as tall as you now. Sometimes if you restart the act, or let the neighbor catch you, the glitch will go away only to come back again next time you are caught. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix this issue. This game has brought me so much enjoyment and I find it difficult to even play it anymore.

by DragonPieces823

The game is fine but here’s a list of things you need to fix on the new update.(1. You can’t walk you can only run and that gets so annoying in some cases.(2. The foot steps you hear when step or land on don’t match like how does on other consoles or pc, so it’s better if you fix that to.(3. Turning on friendly mode will just turn friendly mode off and that’s really annoying for the players who can’t play that well.(4. The room puzzle in act 3 won’t work because the guitar won’t stand up correctly without falling down.(5. Turning off friendly mode gets upsetting for those who want a challenge because he won’t even set up traps or cameras at all.(6. You can’t break windows in your own house which is kind of a bummer for some players.(7. In act 3 the main gameplay cutscene where the neighbor is hammering the planks on the basement door you can’t see the neighbor which is ridiculously confusing.(8. You also need to edit the outside world(Land beyond the barriers)because it’s not as detailed as it is on console or pc, so please fix that.(9. Lastly fix the spelling mistakes on everything that has letters being swapped around to how it’s supposed to be spelled correctly.

I love this game and I bought the full version which is expensive btw. Anyway I have gotten up to act three and I keep having to start over because important items keep glitching out, once I get the red key, it randomly disappears from my item bar while I’m playing and since I haven’t used it yet and it’s lost I have to start over. Just a few minutes ago while I was playing it, I had the umbrella and was riding up against the edge of a wall as I dropped. Then it made a weird noise and after I made it to the floor, it was not in my hand. It showed up in the item bar but it wasn’t in my hand I couldn’t tell of it was open or closed. I’ve started that level over about five times now and it’s really obnoxious, I’ve found a loophole for the problem with the key, since the way I play involves getting the key first, I hold onto if for awhile, so instead of holding it I just dropped it in my house. The game is awesome and I love the concept, I know it’s a great game, it’s just that the mobile version has some issues.

So even though it said that It was available on the iPad mini 2 And it wasn’t It’s an amazing game even though I had to get my computer out and I can’t play whenever I want because my mom is at work on the computer because of her working from home privilege I can only play it at night but hello neighbor is an amazing game I love the designs and the neighbor of course it’s so cool being able to like go through this world where The cops don’t get called on you when you break into houses but it’s an amazing game even though it was expensive and I couldn’t afford it in embarrassed fully asked my dad to buy it he was cool with it it is a fun game and I like that there’s good jump scares. It’s a fun game it’s not like a real real horror game and I like that it’s easy for everyone and 10+ because my mom and dad were in allowed me to play it if It wasn’t it is a very cool experience and I love all the games even the pre-outfit was super good I love this game and I cannot wait to finish it!😃

I honestly love this game and I’ve been playing it for 3 year probably and I have always loved this game since 2019! But I have deleted a few times, 1. Because of my storage, 2. It got deleted when I added it to my mom, dads,sister's phone, 3. Is a topic I’m about to talk about next. It’s not that I hate or dislike the game or anything but i just don’t like how you have to purchase the full game for a over expensive price!
I have always wanted the full game but it’s too pricey and I don’t think it should be like this because one can get tired of playing the same acts over and over again every time. Some people I know bought it but that’s not the case. I just want you guys too lower the pricing. Besides that, I think this game is bomb and should deserve a spot on the best games leaderboard.💓💓💓 this game is nostalgic and gives me good creepy vibes :))) Thanks for reading this! **if you’ve even made it here from the beginning of this very long review** but thanks again! 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊 have a great day/morning/evening/night/noon/afternoon/etc. ✋✋💯

**Edit: Please fix the room with the red key switch in Act 3. It is impossible to get the red key in any legit way/without glitches. YouTubers can’t even do it.

15 dollars is too much. BUT for those who did buy it...it’s more fun to Not do the shortcuts... for example, in Act 2 (if you try a few times) you can run into a crate and glitch-jump very high to go over the fence at the very start. Or especially in act three where you can just throw a shoe at the key cage switch or melt the ice with the just hot water. For the longest time I didn’t even know about the rifle, the phonographs, and freezing the globe because of the shortcuts. I know there is only bug fix updates now but it would have helped to have more clues pointing towards the correct steps. I never would figure out the mannequins and cake around the table if it wasn’t for the internet. On one hand, I do like how there is multiple ways to complete the Acts...but those shortcuts make it way easier. Lastly, it is too hard to control the trolley right. Thanks for reading👍

I was just playing act 1 yesterday and when i was done playing i went to HelloNeighbor stone and saw that there was a new update that just came out so i downloaded it and well it broke the game. Before i got the update the game worked great no bugs controls were pretty good for a pc to Mobile game port and it ran smoothly no lag spikes or fps drops it was really good but unfortunately the new update needs some fixing. First of all when you look down you can see your body but the camera is slightly too low cuz when you look down your inside of your body so this is a pain if your trying to pick something up from the floor also this makes your arms and hands look really awkward. The point of view of the camera looks like your head is on your characters chest aside from that everything else is still ok and I'm not going to take away any stars since the game is perfect and i can 100% understand why the new update is broken cuz i did play it the day it came out i just wanted to get this out there so the developers know. Over all good game especially for a Mobile port normally pc games ported to mobile have terrible controls but this ported really well. Sometimes the jumping can be a little weird but it was like that in the pc verson too so yea I would recommend.

This game is very fun and a challenging game. If you like horror games, but not too scary this is a game for you! It is also a puzzle game. So, if you like horror, puzzles, and fun, you will surely have a fun experience while you play this game! It is kind of like a horror game because sometimes, you can get jump-scared when the neighbor catches you. It can also be kind of a horror game because of the music and screams that come from the game. The screams are in the beginning and it scared me lol. Anyways, it’s also a puzzle game because you have to find a way to find things, escape, ect ( et cetera ). And finally, it is fun because… all of the reasons I gave you (horror puzzles). If horror and puzzles are still not enough for you, you can also do things aren’t puzzles. Well, it still is a kind of puzzle, but you can also steal stuff from the neighbor’s house and use it to decorate your house or just for fun ( for example I am trying to take EVERYTHING out of the neighbor’s house hehe). So, I think that Hello Neighbor is a good game, but what about you? I hope you don’t get too attached!! 🥸

Hi Tiny Build! I heard that it costed $15 dollars to buy the full game, but my dad seriously just bought it and didn’t give a heck about the price. I just, screamed! I got frustrated that ACT 3 was very hard, but I finally finished it! The problem was when I tried to stop the train near the pipes you climb, then jump on the train to the roof, I tried stopping the train and getting out, but it started moving again and threw me out, like teleporting me. But then I realized I could just go to the place where you can start the train, and stop it when I feel like it was there, it takes a little long time, but it’s possible. The shop gets annoying when one of the items get you killed, and the the dummy’s keep chasing you, but a method I use is that I know the items that don’t get you killed and you can just keep on using them everytime your doing the shop, and in the double jump mini game, if you miss all of the paper airplanes, there is a other way that takes a lot of attempts to finish, but it’s possible. I love this game and thank you for releasing it on mobile! I wanted to play this all in my life! Thank you Tiny
Build!

The reason why I rate this five stars Is for a lot of good reasons The puzzles are weird And interesting The rooms a ridiculously Odd But that doesn’t ruin The five star rating The reason I love this game Is how unique It is One of a Realy Odd games I recommend It for most of you although Some Updates Don’t Change much That realy don’t Even matter Because It is already Fun so If their is a update Like a game changing Updat will 100% Ruin The game so That is one of the reasons Why i realy love This game Another Reason I because challenging Is the great Way to grow a big brain So i totally Recommend This game it is completely on the next Level This is a very advanced Game And also super unique The uniqueness Makes It even better As How hard act 4 Is i am still stuck On act 4 But the The other act Known as act 2 Is very easy The neighbor Is barely In any rooms so You can walk Down all the hallways With Absolutely No fear so I’d Say about Some of the acts As act 3 Act 4 and also act 5 Are very hard But act 3 is a 50 50 Half hard half easy But Act 2 and 1 are a absolute Piece Of cake But It is not the same as act 4 and 5 because Some of them are Hard but after all This is a five star.

I like the game. I have been playing it for a year now. It’s a cool puzzle game. When I got the game at first, I was over exited because I saw other you tubers play on steam and the game looked cool. [Act1] At first I was scared to go in the neighbors house but then I finally went in. I turned the volume all the way down because I was scared of the noises. I finally got the red key and went into the basement. It took whole day to complete it.
[Act2] the puzzles were so hard that I had to watch other people play it. Getting caught by the neighbor was so scary that I had to turn it off and play it again another day. Right when I was about to complete it my phone died and I had to start all the way over🙁☹️😣😖😠😡🤬🥵😢
Act3: yesssss I got to the big house I spent months playing it’s so fun!!! There are some lags but that doesn’t make it not awesome because you can use it for glitches!!! I got the crowbar and the key card and got to the basement of act 3. It’s to hard!!! I juat can’t get past shadow man!! It’s been a whole month and videos don’t even help but I’ll keep going. I started the game over and attempted a speed run. Now I’m stuck at the basement.

by Apryl's IPad

So, I completed act 3, which was very confusing and taunting by the way, and I got the keycard, took away the chair, and removed the boards, and got into the basement. The part when the shadow man comes across the hallway is brutally teasing me. He does not come until I go IN the hallway, then he appears and jump-scares me! It’s ANNOYING! Those things you must fix. I mean it. There’s also a bug where I am on the train tracks at the front of the house, and the neighbor sees me, right? He can’t get me, so he continuously tries to hop up to me. Then he throws a tomato, and I get teleported to the ground! Please fix this. Also, In the fear school mini-game, this might be a bit of a change for a finished game, but I was thinking, maybe you could place the school bell rings a little bit further apart. I had to go during the free roaming and DODGE MANNEQUINS all the way to the door at the end. And maybe put less mannequins in fear school? Also, I cannot seem to find the guitar in act three. Thanks for reading. Goodbye. This is (name censored) signing off.

Edit: I love the new graphics in the new update, but the controls are a little bit crazy since the update. Also, the default look sensitivity should default to 50%.

by User (;

This game is famous and cool but it could have more access to the game I would like it if you could play the full game with out buying it because there are not a lot of people that have much money and I don’t think it would be a bad idea if there were a free full game on the next season of the game but all I want is to make it better because I don’t have that much much me and it is mostly because I don’t know why a free game has in app purchases when it is free I just want something to make things better but for the most part this game is awesome and interesting and fun and amazing it’s the best of most games well in the top rate rope of games like bendy and the ink Machine and five nights at freddys and g mod and the only reason I’m righting this review is because it wouldn’t be fair if everyone had this game and the other people did not have the full game and there just dying to try it and that can’t it’s not because I don’t like the game I just think everyone would be happy if the full game would free but they love the game creep it up and I’ll be back with another review 👍👍✌️

by Zickano

I loved the concept of the game but honestly I feel like the ball was dropped. The controls are extremely bad at responding that it actually sometimes gets frustrating to just walk. Once the game starts working a little more smoother, other issues start to occur. Items clippings through other objects, your character getting stuck, AI jumping between very smart to drastically dumb. There’s really no consistency with this game. I honestly wish this game to try and get nice updates, because the way it is now, I can get why others are also a bit disappointed with it.

Some complain about the graphics. However, I feel like the game is just really stylized and the art style is fairly recognizable(which is good!). I don’t mind the graphics/art style at all. Though at some part it looks like the items/layout is rushed or lazily done. I honestly wish there were more details were added into the game. Heck, I’m honestly fine with an entire remake of it’s done write. They just can’t leave it at it’s current stage. It feels more like a game in Alpha stage than a complete game.

by Sta-rgirl

I finished the first act to find out I have to pay for the rest of it... What is the point of listing it as free then? Nowhere does it say that you will have to pay for the rest of the game. I’d be fine if it was included in the description but it’s not? Please change this, it’s quite deceptive and frankly sneaky. The first act was quite uhh... Something. It took me forever to figure out how to break the window of the second floor because I didn’t realize you needed to hold down the button to throw it hard enough. I’m confused about the basement part of Act 1, one door is never even opened? Maybe it’s revisited later but I don’t know... It was very much like running through a maze trying to hide from monsters, nothing made much sense. I didn’t even know that the neighbor was in the basement until he just randomly popped up when I entered that bathroom area after running around for a few minutes. It was entertaining but frustrating as well, I’m disappointed to learn that I can’t play the rest of it and all my work is wasted but you guys have to make money somehow.

by PineappleNiki04

So, I’ve been playing act 1 over and over again. The whole reason why I give it 4 starts is because you have to pay a freaking $15 just for act 2, 3, and the finale act. I’m asking my parents for the Hello Neighbor game on my switch, and they want to get it for me. (Even though it’s more expensive). But seriously, why do you have to pay $15. The question still stands. Who would wanna pay that anyway? You also have to pay $15 for Hello Neighbor “Hide n Seek”. That game is a story about how he lost most of his family, and when Aaron pushed Mya off the roof, not knowing it would kill her. Also their mom got killed in a car accident. (As seen in act 1). THAT DOESNT CHANGE THE FACT WHY YOU HAVE TO PAY HALF OF $30 FOR A GAME ON YOUR PHONE. Anyway, the game is super fun. And thrilling. I love it, but I wish that you didn’t have to pay so much. Then, people would play it more giving the creators of HelloNeighbor WAYYYY more money. 🙃

by BlondieBlue11

I LOVE this game I even play it a school! It is a real challenge to get the red key but even more a challenge to escape the basement! But let’s get to the point, I worked SO HARD to get all this progress and ready for the next act but when I FINALLY escaped the basement this HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE came on to my screen saying I had to buy the full game! I even got my friend into the game with me and we had a blast! And that ended because of the price! I in my opinion am very smart with my money and I would never spend my money on a game that costs 15 DOLLARS that bull crap to me in my opinion it should be free sense we 1 downloaded your game 2 took a chance on your entertainment and 3 took our time to play your game and be devastated! Sorry if I sounded rude but I am really heartbroken that the game has to end for me. It’s up to you to fix this problem and mean MILLIONS of more kids could play sense the full game would be free! Thanks SO much for reading and hopefully I made you have a change of heart. ❤️😁

by Knobby57

I get it. You want to make money by making us pay $5 for the full game, but here’s the thing. That’s way too expensive. It should be less expensive! I mean come on! Open your eyes! 1% of people would buy the full game! The other 99% of people would rather play the full version of a different game that didn’t require buying the rest of the game! I mean, if you absolutely HAVE to make money by doing that, I get it, but at least lower the price by a dollar, or more. That would probably increase your chances (if only by a little bit) of getting people to buy the full version.

Or, if you really need to make money and want more people to play, consider ads. I don’t mind watching ads. But people should get to play the full app for free if you put in ads. And then they can remove ads as an in app purchase if they’re sick of the ads. That would definitely sharply increase the amount of people who will actually get this.

So please consider replacing having to buy the full game with being able to get the full version of the game with ads. I would really appreciate it and I won’t delete this game sooner or later if you add ads.

Thank you.

Btw, players looking for glitches, If you go to the right side of the world and run into (run toward) a red truck you will fall through the world and you might fall for a while until you get backed out of the game.
