Hello Neighbor – Don’t Go To This Barbecue / JTGA – Review
JTGA: Hello Neighbor is a curious blend of stealth, puzzle, and horror all rolled into one, with an underlying sinister tone. As a concept, it’s certainly unique, but it feels a bit haphazard; a jack of all trades that doesn’t quite master any of them.
The basic pitch is brilliant though: break into your neighbour's (yes, we’re a British website) house and investigate a mystery, but every time you fail the A.I. learns from your behaviour and tries to adapt. By definition the whole thing is played through trial and error, as you experiment with new ways to outwit your evolving foe. But in practice, Hello Neighbor is a frustrating experience.
