- “This game is pure trash, with terrible graphics, a broken UI, and janky mechanics.”

- “Awful gameplay, badly optimized, stupid storyline, in need of bug repellent.”

humor

- “It is so funny to watch the guest ragdoll and fly on his fire extinguisher.”

- “Not a funny game; after 4 minutes of play, I hate this lol.”

optimization

The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players reporting severe performance issues, including low frame rates (as low as 30 fps) and frequent crashes. Many users noted that even on capable hardware, the game struggles to maintain acceptable performance levels, with limitations on resolution and graphical settings further exacerbating the problem. Overall, the optimization is considered poor, with numerous bugs and stability issues detracting from the gameplay experience.
- “At this stage, bugs are to be expected and optimization could be improved.”
- “Optimization in alpha 1 was much better.”
- “Here are the negatives, the game is extremely un-optimized; I'm getting 30 fps sometimes, and the puzzles are really difficult and random.”
- “You'll start the game and realize the optimization doesn't exist. I have an RX 580, and it can handle most games with medium graphics at 1440p with over 100+ fps, but this game can't even pass 90 fps at 1080p resolution on low, and it doesn't allow you to set a higher resolution than 1080p, which is pathetic.”
- “While my PC isn't very strong, on the graphics it can handle, this game looks worse than the first alpha of the first Hello Neighbor and is less optimized.”

The music in "Hello Neighbor" has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the ominous tunes that enhance the game's atmosphere, particularly during tense moments like being caught. However, others criticize the catch music as brief and unfitting, detracting from the overall experience. While the trailer features appealing music, the absence of a consistent soundtrack in the alpha version has left some players disappointed.
- “Ngl, the music when you get caught is a bop.”
- “The art style, the music, the antagonist, the neighborhood (most of all the neighbor's house) - all finally look exactly like what 'Hello Neighbor' was supposed to look like in the original.”
- “The music for when he 'catches' you is so unfitting and it's so brief that it's like its only purpose is to give you a headache.”
- “While I do like the first installment of the Hello Neighbor franchise, I have to admit that it had some flaws, like the chase music not being as intense, which ruined the creepy ambience that was nailed in the early alphas.”
- “Sometimes it's difficult completing a task because the crow man will come back and spots you; but when he clicks his tongue and ominous music starts playing, I just run and laugh.”

monetization
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The monetization strategy of the developer is criticized for prioritizing profit over quality, as they are known for releasing unfinished games filled with bugs while quickly moving on to new projects for financial gain.

- “The monetization system feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money to enjoy the game fully.”
- “It's frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to progress without spending extra cash.”
emotional

Players highlight the emotional weight of the game, noting that while it is free, the emotional investment can feel significant and irreversible. The improvements in character animations and gameplay mechanics enhance the overall experience, contributing to a deeper emotional engagement.

character development
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
While the reviews highlight appreciation for character design and textures, they do not provide substantial insights into character development in terms of narrative or growth. The focus seems to be more on visual elements and gameplay mechanics rather than the evolution of characters themselves.
