Perhaps what I truly adore is some ordinary afternoon of my childhood, spent gaming without a single care.

It’s a warm Tuesday afternoon. I’m back from school, the bus drops me off on the street, and I walk a couple of minutes home. All the way, I’m hoping my mom’s not back from work yet and that nobody opens the door so I can go to my best friend’s house. We sit on an uncomfortable chair, playing Neighbours Back From Hell. We were a couple of kids. Good old days. I had absolutely zero responsibility and genuinely didn’t …

This was a huge part of my childhood, so playing it again brought back so many great memories. The nostalgia hit me right from the start, and it was just as fun as I remembered. The remastered version is really well done because it stays true to the original while looking much better. I also love that it includes achievements, which gave me an extra reason to replay the game and complete everything. Overall, it's a …

Old golden classic game that everyone should play at least once in their life.

95% of the 147 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Neighbours back From Hell. The complaint that keeps coming up: remake feels lazy with reused UI assets. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They just don't make games like this anymore. The original will always be my first love, but the remaster's upgraded graphics are exactly how the game looked to me as a kid. Back then it felt cutting-edge, and now it looks just like it always did in my head. Same cozy atmosphere, same vibrant colors, same traps I know by heart — and the same old neighbor whose blood pressure I've been raising since childhood. Games like this had real soul — and this remaster is a lovely tribute to that. It's…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →get this if u only want the original games the remake is just lazy reusing assets for the ui, for example the neighbours and MC's camera are straight from the second game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THE game of my childhood. It may be old, but that's more of an advantage rather than weakness. It's funny and pretty easy, but definitely worth your time. Trust me on this one, this game is good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very nostalgic. I remember begging my uncle to let me play this game and i couldn't even pass one level. Really nice game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After more than a decade, I've finally played this game again. Full of nostalgic memories. Such a fun, childish and simple yet amazing game. I love the characters, love the ingenuity in the gameplay. Wish there were even more episodes for this game. I have finally seen the end of this game as well, which made my inner child very happy. Definite recommend. 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Come on ... Let’s be real, this game doesn’t need a review or a rating. This game brings back so many childhood memories. Definitely worth playing and taking a trip down memory lane.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better then Black ops 7 :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a nostalgic game but in better resolution and smooth FPS .. it´s short but worth every penny, funny pranks you can do to your poor neighbour are still awesome as i remembered them as kid long years ago

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most beloved games from my childhood! After two decades of not playing it, decided to beat it to pay respects.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Heads up, if you buy this, you get both of the original games. Those are great. The remake, however, not so much. This is negative specifically towards the remake. The only good thing about it is that they updated the graphics. The rage meter is also a lot more forgiving so it's easier to chain pranks. That means the game is easier but it also requires no more brain power to get a gold statue for your score. Again, I'm so glad you get the untouched versions of the original games because this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my childhood games revisited again after 3 years (played the demos when I was in middle school and 3 years ago -pirated- both season one and two) and it still holds up for me. The goofy and classic pranks combined with Woody's taste of revenge made my time worth. Just two nitpicks: the face reaction and UI copy 'n' pasted from Neighbors from Hell 2. Sure it could have been better IF the clothes from both the neighbor and Woody was matching the seasons you play (not just the second one…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute peak, my childhood :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a blast from the past! This game is one of my childhood staples along with PVZ. I used to play it with my dad on our PC, discovering the more subtle tricks together. It's great to see it in widescreen now! The HUD of the first game has changed but I got used to it pretty quickly. The game just has a certain charm to it and even though I've played through every level a lot, I still find some pranks very funny. This is just the kind of game you probably will never see nowadays. Anyway... I…

Gameplay & Mechanics The core gameplay remains wonderfully simple yet deeply engaging: you play as Woody, a reality TV star whose sole mission is to execute increasingly elaborate and hilarious pranks on his obnoxious neighbor, Mr.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →eeek! one of my favorable chilhood game lol. been freakin out everytime play this game with my lil bro atm since we don't let the neighbors find out bout what we doin (we played as woody) or game over. and also, we play this game secretly at night haha (when my parents are sleeping) so the thrilling feeling is double. haha miss those times, for real. find out that nfh was on steam i bought em' all without thinking haha, impulsive af lololol andddd defff yez i recommend this game, worth to try!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good nostalgic series with interesting puzzles, a plot, and overall style. The game's humor is long outdated, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable. It has its flaws, such as poorly designed UI, poorly laid out levels on main menu, and a flawed combo-cap system. Considering the original game is still in the store, in bundle with this one, I'd reluctantly recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game from my childhood got a definitive edition idc if im late 6 years i forgot to rewiev this a long time ago, a very nice comedic indie game that features a very grumpy neighbor that's acting like a piece of sh1t and then a local kid from neighborhood has decided to make a show of pranking him. very funny game lol 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →they don't make 'em like this anymore pure fun puzzle gameplay, you prank a cranky old man in succession for higher scores lol my childhood game remastered, 2 games in one I highly recommend this short but sweet game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played on steam deck - 90 fps stable, out of the box. Nostalgia went hard with this one. A nice casual puzzle game with a lot of charisma. The cartoonish nature of the game did make 2-3 pranks seem counter-intuitive, but nothing that will get you stuck on a level.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My childhood game is now back with better graphics. 10/10, I recommend this game to you.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →still fun. animation style looks good even today even if the tricks and reactions look stiff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neighbours from Hell — Pure Childhood Nostalgia Neighbours from Hell is one of those games that instantly takes me back to childhood. The first game in particular brings back memories of playing it on my old Pentium III. Honestly, I don't think the second game needed to be included in this remaster. For me, the original is the real classic and the one that carries all the nostalgia. The gameplay is simple but incredibly fun — setting traps, annoying your neighbor, and trying not to get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the 2 original games when i bought this one. The original was a classic and very fun, but this remake is not. Somehow the better graphics and better animation makes the game look jankier than the original. Buy this one and then play the original 2 games.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing Neighbours back from Hell again feels like stepping straight into a time machine. If you grew up plotting ridiculous pranks against your easily angered neighbour, Woody’s remastered antics deliver an incredible hit of childhood nostalgia. Getting to mess with Mr Rottweiler all over again is just as satisfying now as it was back then, proving that good, old-school slapstick humour never truly goes out of style. The game beautifully preserves that distinct early-2000s cartoon aesthetic…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neighbours Back From Hell is a true classic. It combines both Neighbours From Hell 1 and 2 into one remake, featuring improved visuals and smoother, cleaner animations The game is also very affordable, making it absolutely worth picking up. I used to watch gameplay of it on YouTube years ago, and finally getting to play it myself was a great experience After about 9 hours of playtime, I can confidently say it’s a lot of fun. Even after finishing the game, there’s still replay value, you can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compared to the original, this is garbage and that's saying something considering that came out over a decade before this one. Half the items/controls don't work, and they added a bunch of stuff that makes no sense and complicates the game. Every time I try to play this, I last maybe 5 minutes before having to turn around and go back to the original. Don't bother buying the new one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wether you prefer the OG or the modern version both has their own pros and cons also buying this will give you both the 2 OG's & the modern games so its a win-win. i say its worth its price esp if you get it on discount

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neighbours From Hell — The first pleasure of someone else’s suffering I first discovered Neighbours from Hell back in elementary school, when one of my classmates mentioned it during recess. At the time, it felt like something completely new. This wasn’t a game about speed, shooting, or scores — it was a game about patience, observation, and perfectly timed actions. You didn’t win by force. You won by being clever, attentive, and just a little bit mean. Every level felt like a small…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best game in my opinion. Even a game like this has consistency and strategy, plus puzzles. I wouldn't say it's easy. I started playing it when I was young, but I only just finished it now. I even wrote a guide for it. Maybe new players will need it in the future. A super remaster, a super game, everything is super. It's not about the graphics, but the core of the game. Hello Neighbor will never be able to top this masterpiece. The best game of the 2000s. The developers are brilliant! After…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Back in 2009. TWO THOUSAND AND NINE. I played a game called "Neighbours From Hell". It was fun, but a bit naff and repetitive. Enough time has passed to play the next one. Neighbours Back From Hell. And I think I've had it for as long as the first one... Doomed.
