Then an even quicker tutorial to explain each button and the rest is up to you.

There is a quick cutscene at the beginning which effectively lowers your expectations of gameplay.

Hello Neighbor drops you in the deep end with regards to what they expect you to do. Although both games are a similar “battle royale” style, they have different realities where different things are possible. In Fortnite, there are 100 players, lots of loot, last one standing wins, and you can build your own ‘fort’ for protection, a game-changing mechanic. Each game has its own reality (magic circle) where certain things are possible, for example in PUGB there are 100 individuals, lots of loot, last one standing wins. As a man who studied video games and is an avid player, I can comfortably say this game has made no effort in immersing the user in the game’s magic circle. Now let us talk more about gameplay specifically. What makes this even more frustrating is the file size, a 1.2GB mobile game should be filled with lots of content and decent quality graphics but instead it falls short. The graphics are very low quality, they may look quirky from a distance, but everything is unpleasant to look at close-up. When games like ‘Asphalt 9: Legends’ show up on the App Store with next-generation quality graphics, you really can’t afford to cut corners. Hello Neighbor didn’t just cut a couple corners, it cut them wherever possible. There is nothing worse than being caught in a stealth horror game, especially when you’re let down by the controls.Īnother aspect that really lets this game down is the graphics. Brilliant right? Well, this game requires stealth and the occasional run for your life situation, therefore by having a widget that repositions itself is incredibly frustrating. The widget that controls player movement sets itself based on where you press. The controls don’t work, and by that, I mean in terms of practicality and reliability. All that was needed was a good effort with regards to porting it over to mobile. As a game that was originally made for PC, the hard work was done in terms of developing.
