Me ha gustado bastante su jugabilidad y, sobre todo, su gran número de acertijos y enigmas que tendrás que pensar dos veces antes de resolver. En cuanto a gráficos, me gustan bastante. Esa mezcla entre dibujos animados y realidad me gusta mucho en los juegos.… Expand

Unlike most stealth horror games, this one isn't easy seeing as the neighbor adapts and analyzes what you do. It's very fun in all of the aspects of the game and the mystery of the story and what you need to do is very fun to find out. The controls are weird but you get used to them. However, there are a few annoying bugs and when you mess up the parkour it can be frustrating.… Expand

   Let’s be honest, people rarely like their neighbors; it doesn’t matter if you’re an adult, kid, or the family dog. The people who resideLet’s be honest, people rarely like their neighbors; it doesn’t matter if you’re an adult, kid, or the family dog. The people who reside around you are likely jerks, and it can be fun to make up stories with your loved ones about all the horrible things they do in their house after said neighbor annoys you with their distaste for your use of dryer sheets or their strange fondness of stray cats. While some people would be content making these stories up and going on about their day, our unnamed protagonist in Hello Neighbor decides to take things a bit further.
   
   After your ball gets away from you and rolls in front of the neighbor’s yard, we witness what appears to be a murder, so we are tasked with doing what any young kid would do in this circumstance: figure out what kind of shenanigans the guy is up to. To do so, you’ll need to find a way into his house and locate 3 keys that will allow you access to his basement. Sounds simple enough, right?
   
   At first, I set off to test his intelligence, hoping to see a bit of what was advertised as an AI that would learn your tactics and adapt or make changes to the house to prevent you from further meddling in his affairs. I broke windows, ran straight through the door, crept in through a window, turned off his power, the list goes on and on. No matter what I did, his tactics never changed. So this feature is a bit misrepresented in the current stage of the game.
   
   While being caught does not carry a huge penalty – you’ll be transported back to the street facing his house upon being caught – it is a tad bit frustrating. After a few failed attempts, you will wake up in a strange dream world, where the features of the game world are distorted a bit. I was unable to find out what this was to represent or why it occurred. Sure, it was creepy, but it didn’t really make me want to keep investigating. This is primarily due to a lack of direction, as the only tutorial is found on the pause screen, which tells you how to interact with the game and that’s it. The other hurdle is the AI.
   
   Much like the Alien featured in Alien Isolation, the neighbor’s AI is off the charts and feels very unfair. I’d often spawn into the world with him in the front yard, with the heavy baritone music blaring that begins when he sees you, followed by him making a beeline right for me. In other instances, I would run from the house into the street, which I believe is supposed to be a safe zone if you will, and he would follow me and begin doing stretches in the front yard. This would make for an ideal time to sneak into the house if he didn’t stop what he was doing the second I entered the yard, regardless of whether he could see me or not.
   
   The issues do not end there, as the controls, particularly when interacting with some doors or trying to stack items, are intermittent and often non-responsive. Inside of the house there is a specific door that doesn’t have a lock on it, but I was only able to open once every few attempts. While trying to gain entry from the roof, I was stacking boxes along some scaffolding and the controls would often throw instead of placing the item like the box prior, thus knocking over 2 of the 3 boxes I felt were needed to access the area. While I was able to achieve my goal, it was much more frustrating than it should’ve been. The one saving grace is that, with the exception of windows that you break, the changes you make to the game world do stay intact after being caught. While you can hide in closets or under the bed, similar to Outlast or Alien Isolation, the neighbor will often stand there for 5 minutes or more.
   
   While I found the overall package a bit lacking, I do appreciate the art style featured. With its exaggerated details and little touches for those that take the time to explore the world, you can tell a great deal of effort was put into the design. I’m not sure if they intended to make the neighbor come across as a child abductor or killer, but you really do get the chilling feeling of it when exploring his house, finding boxes of tiny shoes and toys tucked away out of sight.
   
   With a bit of polish, this could be an outstanding entry to the horror genre that would even be fit for younger players. In its current state, I would recommend waiting for a sale or hopefully a patch to resolve these issues, as the game could be spectacular with an update. I look forward to revisiting the game in the event these issues do get patched.… Expand

   On paper Hello Neighbor looked like it was going to be a very fun and different experience, but sometimes fully designed game’s don’t alwaysOn paper Hello Neighbor looked like it was going to be a very fun and different experience, but sometimes fully designed game’s don’t always work out that way which is definitely the case here. I must admit that I didn’t expect the game to have as many problems as it does and this really takes away from anything that is good about the game. The technichal issues in the game can cause you some real problems and you forget about having fun because of this, which is a real shame. Unfortunately the controls don’t do much better and you will be finding yourself getting very frustrated with them, which is a shame because I thought the puzzles in the game were very good but they just end up getting bogged down by the poor controls. The story in the game was something that I enjoyed and I found it to be quite unique, but the ending definitely spoils it. The boss battles at the end feel out of place and are annoying as hell and in a way they undo all of the previous good things about the story. Something that really surprised me about the game was the lack of content it has. I must admit that I was expecting a lot more in terms of content and that was mainly down to its price tag, so to say that the game is overpriced is a massive understatement. The presentation side of the game whilst not perfect is something that tickled my fancy. The visuals are something that I especially enjoyed and I felt that they connected with the gameplay very well. At the end of the day Hello Neighbor disappointed me a great deal and without a doubt I was hoping for much more from the game. It’s riddled with problems throughout and in its current state I would recommend that you stay well clear of this game, but unfortunately I don’t think a patch or two will sort out enough and the underlying problems will still remain. If you were looking forward to Hello Neighbor then I think you will be very disappointed with the final outcome, and when you combine the game’s problems with its high price tag then you get a game that really doesn’t offer you a reason to buy it, which is a shame.… Expand

Les graphismes mongolos à laL'étron indé du mois est en 4K sur la Xbox One X... mais en 4 couleurs seulement. Oui, ça ne fait pas beaucoup... Les graphismes mongolos à la nintendaube n'aident pas vraiment à faire passer la pillule non plus : on tient là l'un des jeux les plus laids du moment, voire de toute l'année 2017.
   
   Il paraît qu'il s'agit d'un jeu d'infiltration... ah vraiment ? on ne sait même pas ce qu'on est censé faire, à part qu'on se retrouve planté devant la maison d'un voisin moustachu paranoïaque et très vindicatif. Entrer dans la maison peut-être mais pourquoi faire ?... et ça rime à quoi en fait cette merde ?
   
   Le développeur indé ne doit pas le savoir lui-même... on dirait une ébauche de jeu, une sorte de démo d'un jeu (?!) en développement qui sortira euh... plus tard. Mais qu'on vous vend plein pot quand même, là tout de suite. Le prix indicatif conseillé est de 30 boules... tu le crois ça ?! ça doit être une mauvaise blague. De l'humour de collégien sans aucun doute.
   
   Et donc, bah le voisin, il te voit, il t'attrape et tu recommences devant la maison. Ouais... super. Et la poubelle, tu la vois, voisin ? elle t'appelle...… Expand
