This game should have been an excellent addition into the player vs player controlled monster genre… But it’s just not. Here’s my pros and cons. PROS: - Solid concept - Strong graphical design - Unique character selection CONS: - One of the most unbalanced VS games I’ve EVER played. (Neighbor is absurdly overpowered, the kids would be stronger if you weren’t forced to play with randoms and could effectively coordinate with friends, any good Neighbor can end a game in 5 minutes or less.) - No co-op unless playing customs. (You don’t get rewards in customs) - Highly difficult when playing as kids. (Even if you remove the Neighbor completely, it’s not easy locating all the keys to escape. The fact that this game is still a hefty challenge even without the main antagonist should tell you how unbalanced it is.) Game would be a 5 stars if there was heavy rebalancing done and co-op for regular games, but those two huge factors make this a 2 star at best. You can have fun, but only if you can remove yourself from the fact that you probably aren’t going to win as the kids team. Make a secret neighbor 2 and implement what needs to be implemented, there’s a good reason why this games player base is pretty small.
