Hello Neighbor | Worse Than I Thought

Yikes! 29:24 I forgot to add the extra audio involving this scene. So no 'Agrabah' is not canon. I will be editing this comment with the revised and correct version of the scene that will be uploaded to the Lore Scenes playlist here on the channel. Sorry about that, slipped under the rug. Update 1: Here is the corrected lore scene! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYNxexBcd_g Update 2: There has been a misconception in the comments about what version I played the game on, at 8:22 I mention how the first time I played the game it was on the Xbox version, which is true. However, that was at a friend's house and that same day I went home and bought the PC version to play and review. So the gameplay and review you are seeing is based on my experience with the PC build, which is the "definitive" version according to many. My opinion still stands, though I admit the wording was poor and I will try to avoid these types of situations going forward.

The funniest part of this game is the fact the neighbor can’t even access like 80% of his own home

It’s like an argument in a foreign language. You have no idea what’s happening, but it’s getting worse.

The first person who solved the water puzzle deserves a round of applause

i think their biggest issue was trying to make it a franchise. they shouldve focused more on hello neighbor and work out the bugs before moving on to a sequel and 3 other games

"The final act is finding your way onto the giant neighbor's back which has a house on it." Remember when this game was about trespassing?

Hello Neighbor feels like that one flash game you couldn’t beat when you were 8

I like how they slowly kept ruining their own game

12:25 you know what's great about that chase scene? If you get caught too early, you have to do it all over again. But if you get to the door and THEN get caught.. then you can progress. Great, isn't it?

The fact that they charged $30 for a game where the main antagonist can’t get into portions of his own house

God what happened to this game? Last I checked you would move into your new house, see the neighbor acting suspicious across the street, and try to stealth your way into his basement to see whats going down. In the end you see too much and the neighbor buries you alive. It was a short, simple, and effective. It played well and didn't warrant any more chapters.

It went from "genuinely horrifying game, with a slightly bright art style diferenciating it from all of the other games, amazing AI and scary concept" to "the neighbor got stuck in a chair so now I can't proceed to act three"

the game's strength was its enemy ai. And it genuinely was good and responsive in the first two alphas. But then for whatever reason the scope spiraled way out of control and the ai wasn't able to keep up as the house expanded. Lots of wasted potential

The neighbor used to be smart they made him dumber to make the house bigger

The alpha makes you genuinely scared to enter every single room not knowing where the neighbour is while in the final game makes the neighbour just feel like annoying badly written entity

i think Matpat will enjoy dissecting this frame by frame 👀

When game theory can create better lore than the final game

The problem with the game was that everything that made it unique in the alpha was completly scraped and changes to focus more on the basement, you were supposed to be spending the entire game trying to get in the basement not the other way around

So basically, it's a "Notice me MatPat-sempai!" game.

The best (worst) part is they didn't even address what the scream in the beginning was. "Oh well guess its lost to history now, nobody will know!"
