What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
this is a VAST improvement over the first game. it's still glitchy, broken, poorly optimized, and even crashed my entire system once, but the enemies are much smarter and are genuinely FUN to evade/mess around with. the map is far more interesting, with an "open world" and more varied architecture. the overall presentation is quite a lot better too. the characters and environments all look very good, the visual style and lighting are very pleasant. the puzzles are actually coherent and don't require you to consult a guide on youtube. it's still not a great game, and is unequivocally NOT worth $40 USD (i got it for $10) but hello neighbor 2 is a much better game than the original, and i'm glad to see it.

The core gameplay remains focused on stealth, exploration, and solving environmental puzzles.
+ Extraordinary scenery, sound effects and perfect psycho atmosphere.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
