I was immediately taken with the town of Raven Brooks (or Wayron Croobs) and its inhabitants. It is vibrant, colorful, and has a sense of playfulness that is conveyed through the art design and the game’s strange dialect. Perhaps the aspect of Hello Neighbor 2 that works the best, and indeed what might be the reason for its explosion in popularity, is the world its developers have created. "It’s not all bad, there is a lot about Hello Neighbor 2 that I quite enjoyed, but the issues present really marred the core experience, which is a shame for a game that has so much going for it." Let’s bring the good and bad to light in this review of Hello Neighbor 2. It’s not all bad, there is a lot about Hello Neighbor 2 that I quite enjoyed, but the issues present really marred the core experience, which is a shame for a game that has so much going for it. Surely after five years, four games, and a healthy fanbase, they have figured out how to make this game work, right? My experience with previous games has been fleeting at best, but I really gave Hello Neighbor 2 a fair shot and played it to the credits. I even remember seeing plushies of The Neighbor at GameStop around that time, which was confusing. Despite the “2” in the title, this is actually the fourth game in a series that gained massive popularity in 2017.

Hello Neighbor is out now on Nintendo Switch and costs $40.Hello Neighbor 2 is a first-person, puzzle-solving sneak ‘em up that is developed by Eerie Guest Studios and published by tinyBuild. Change up your routine if he starts figuring you out. The neighbor learns from what you do, so if you're trying the same thing over and over, he'll get wise to your act.Keys are color-coded to locks, so keep an eye out for locks and try to recall which key goes with what so you don't waste time going after useless locks.

Much of Hello Neighbor becomes accessible as you collect keys, so know that's what you're usually on the lookout for. Stack stuff! Stacking boxes/other items is a great way to get inside places you can't otherwise reach.If you place an item that makes noise near his front door or near where he is you can draw him to one area, then move to another area and sneak in. Use items that make loud noises to distract the neighbor.
