Hello Neighbor - Xbox One

Great game. 4 levels, each item is easy to find.

It works but my 6 year old grandson finished it in no time.

My 9yo enjoys this a lot. The whole family has been trying to figure out the mystery of this game. It's fairly easy and quick to solve but we can't figure out if we are the bad guy or he is. My son keeps playing and unlocking new secrets to try and piece together a story line. All in all it has been very enjoyable as a first xbox game. First, next to minecraft that is. While there is nothing gory in it, there is enough suspense that I have needed to stay nearby when he first started playing the game. It's a good mix of creepy and suspense. Trying to understand the story line has introduced topics in conversation I might not have otherwise had at this time. On that same note, we've had a lot of conversations about understanding that people have deep stories beyond their surface. That was unexpected and has been very cool. For reference we are new to xbox. Favorite games are Unraveled, Minecraft & some of the Lego games. All pretty tame.

Just got the game Thursday and gave it to the kids and when they went to play it today it wont even start up for them and I keep getting a weird message. They were really excited and now I have a game they cant play. Came back on to say that we did eventually get the game working but 4 stars because if the hassle it gave us.

Our oldest daughter has always loved this game. She had it previously, but you know with kids things happen so we reordered it for her, and she was very happy to play it again!

First, let me say that I felt obligated to post an objective review, since most of them are either extreme positive or extreme negative. The truth is somewhere in the middle. I was looking forward to this game ever since I saw the demos being played online. I LOVED the concept of the plot (in a fashion of Rear Window or the 'Burbs), loved the quirky Pixar-style, and loved that it was a puzzle game as well as a "stealth" and evade game. What I expected: A wacky cartoonish puzzle game (similar to Day of the Tentacle or any of those caricature Lucas Arts games), mixed with the tension of a cat and mouse game like Alien Isolation or Manhunt, with the charm and scares of Five Nights at Freddy's. After playing the game, I have a different perspective. The Pros: -The Graphics. I know most people are beating up on the graphics. Personally I thought they were on par. It's a cartoon game that looks like a Pixar Movie. There's only so much you can do with cartoon characters and houses. Don't expect Resident Evil 7. -Very smooth. Despite what others have reported, I didn't experience any bugs or glitches. And the game definitely runs on my Xbox. -Pleasing aesthetics, and spooky atmosphere at times. -Forgiving game. If you get caught (which will DEFINITELY happen), you don't have to start all the way over again. -The AI. Here's where the developers put most of their efforts in, and it shows. The creators boast how the AI will react to your habits, and try to counter them, and learn from past experiences, and they were very true to their word. Definitely a good step forward in the world of video gaming. The Cons: -Controls are okay, but feel a little clumsy at times. -The price tag is too much for what they're delivering. This game ought to be priced between $14 and $20. -There is no logic to the puzzles. Especially since you can pretty much pick up everything (in Fallout 3 fashion), and most of it is just arbitrary garbage. Key items and places to use them are not apparent. To be fair, I expect as much from a cartoon style game. You're only going to solve this game with a walkthrough, or a LOT of trial and error. The latter if which would be okay, if it wasn't for this next (and in my eyes, BIGGEST fault of the game). -It is EXTREMELY difficult, frustrating, and rage-inducing. All around, I'm a pretty Zen video gamer. But even with a walkthrough in my lap, this game was frustrating to the point where I had to turn it off, walk away, and return when I wasn't fuming. Hello Neighbor is bound to be the reason controllers get thrown through expensive flat-screens. Now, admittedly I'm methodical, so I prefer slow-paced video games, where you can explore every nook and cranny, test out every key or item to see what works before moving on (IE: Resident Evil, Day of the Tentacle, LA Noire, Fallout 3, Arkham, etc). This game is NOT at all like that. It's advertised as a "Stealth" game, but the truth is that there's NO stealth element. Even on your first attempts, you WILL get caught by the neighbor within seconds of entering his property. There's simply no time for trial and error puzzle solving. You have to solve things while sprinting. Even clinging to the walkthrough and knowing exactly where to go and what to do, this game became a tedious routine of: Enter property, not even come close to item or door, after 3 seconds get chased, sprint to safety/get caught, repeat. Not to mention that some of the puzzles are climbing/jumping puzzles, and for those of us who remember the original Mario Bros., jumping games taught most of us 80's kids how to curse. To me, personally, if they could have dialed down the intensity of the neighbor/antagonist, even just a little, I would rate this game much higher. It was simply just too much frustration too early on. There was no opportunity to feel tension, atmosphere, or even curiosity about the actual story. When you're cursing and snarling as you claw for every inch forward that you take in this game, you simply aren't thinking about the things that give a game personality. They had something really special here, and they blew it by making it too hard. It was a good try, and I'm hoping to see more from the creators that might be similar in style, but with some improvements.

My son started playing this on my pc, and watching youtube videos of others playing it so he was fully prepared for the Xbox version. He immediately preferred the Xbox version because of the ease of the controls. In the full game version, however, there are mini-games that he struggles with to the point of aggravation: the schoolhouse run vs mannequins is the worst of them. He gives the game a break and goes back the next day and finally gets past the game. Yes, he's played the Xbox version twice now; pc version, possibly a dozen times so far. Finding Pre-alpha for Xbox One would be the ultimate gift for him. Pre-alpha screwed up my pc twice, so he's still going through withdrawal symptoms; pre-alpha is his favorite. This game and Amazon delivered everything as promised in the description. I recommend the game because there's no blood and guts, no overwhelming graphics, and minimal violence; the worst you can do it shoot a toy gun at the "Neighbor" (apparently named Sost) and it stuns him for a second or two. It's a nice break from rack-'em-up-shoot-'em-down.

I had bought a different brand to groom my hairy Australian Shepherd, but that other brand was worthless (turned out to the people clippers advertised for dogs). After reading a ton of reviews, I ended up with this brand. All I can say is that they went through my dogs hair like a hot knife through butter. I tried combing out matted hair first, but the brush kept hurting the dog. I decided to try cutting them or with the clippers, expecting lots of pulling. They did not. My dog was calm and relaxed, even through the difficult areas. I highly recommend these clippers.

Llego a tiempo y la verdad excelente juego, te entretiene demaciado, es recomendable par personas que les gustan los acertijos

Amazing

Mon fils de 14 ans aime bien

Trotz Lieferverzögerungen hat der Lieferer prompt reagiert. Mein 10 Jähriger Sohn findet das Spiel absolut Mega Klasse. Auf Jedenfalls zu emphelen.

日本語なくてもゲームはできます。このゲーム、カートゥーン調のグラフィックがいい感じですが、チュートリアルがないなどゲームとしての完成度はそんなに高くなく、割とおおっざぱな作りです。
