Sifu, which recently crossed 3 million copies sold, will be joined by EA Sports and Codemasters’ racing sim F1 23 (which is getting a follow-up in May), tinyBuild’s stealth horror title Hello Neighbor 2, and Destiny 2’s sixth expansion, The Witch Queen, which launched in 2022.

All games will become available to claim starting March 5, remaining free until April 1, and like all of the service’s free monthly offerings, will be available to subscribers of all PS Plus tiers- Essential, Extra, and Premium.

That, of course, means subscribers will have until March 4 to claim PlayStation Plus Essential’s free February offerings, which are Steelrising, Foamstars, and Rollerdrome.

No. No they did not.

It’s not all bad, there is a lot about Hello Neighbor 2 that I quite enjoyed, but the issues present really marred the core experience, which is a shame for a game that has so much going for it. Let’s bring the good and bad to light in this review of Hello Neighbor 2.

"It’s not all bad, there is a lot about Hello Neighbor 2 that I quite enjoyed, but the issues present really marred the core experience, which is a shame for a game that has so much going for it."

Perhaps the aspect of Hello Neighbor 2 that works the best, and indeed what might be the reason for its explosion in popularity, is the world its developers have created. It is vibrant, colorful, and has a sense of playfulness that is conveyed through the art design and the game’s strange dialect. I was immediately taken with the town of Raven Brooks (or Wayron Croobs) and its inhabitants. However, the world of Hello Neighbor also has an undercurrent of dread and fear that had me feeling uneasy for the majority of my time with it.

The brightness and playfulness are harshly juxtaposed by the game’s subject matter and gameplay. You’re sneaking through the house of an alleged murderer, you’re in constant fear of being caught, and that’s before even considering the breaking and entering. Hello Neighbor 2 begins by showing The Neighbor dragging a NPC into his house. This is definitely a way to inject some fear into a game and the developers did a great job of crafting and balancing these two halves of Hello Neighbor 2’s world.

Speaking of Hello Neighbor 2’s gameplay, it is pretty novel. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, the gameplay consists of finding a way into a location, solving various puzzles scattered throughout complex areas, using gadgets, and avoiding detection by an imposing character of some sort. The character hunting you down won’t always be The Neighbor, and you’ll visit several locations over the course of Hello Neighbor 2, but the tenseness and dread are largely consistent throughout.

When it works, at least.

"The character hunting you down won’t always be The Neighbor, and you’ll visit several locations over the course of Hello Neighbor 2, but the tenseness and dread are largely consistent throughout. When it works, at least."

In my time with Hello Neighbor 2, I experienced many issues that either altered or ruined the experience of the game. The first issue arose when I attempted to use an early gadget you get in the game, a surveillance drone. You’re supposed to equip the drone, throw it, and switch to a portable controller to get a live feed of the drone’s camera. Imagine my surprise when I attempted to use the drone, and it was invariably tethered to the building you start the game in. No matter where I went, that tether remained, and I was never able to use this feature. It’s not game-critical thankfully, so I just gave up on it after the first hour or so.

I continued to play the game, solving puzzles in the first location: The Neighbor’s house, which is now a crime scene. The first half of this area went pretty smoothly, as I had managed to sneak in without alerting the cop who was guarding the house. However, after a certain point, that cop begins patrolling inside the house, which made my blood pressure pick up a little bit. Until the cop walked in and out of the back door to the house. Over, and over, and over again.

He was stuck in some kind of loop, and even when I made some noise upstairs (by leaving the drone to make room in the extremely limited inventory), he didn’t seem very concerned with anything other than entering and exiting the house. I thought it was kind of funny, but it also completely took away any tension that existed before the cop fell into his unfortunate loop. Similar issues occurred in later parts of the game, but nothing to this extent. It’s really a shame that this happened so early because it painted my opinion of the rest of the game early on.

"I played through the game on PS5, which looks fantastic, but there are real problems related to how the player interacts with the world that make the console experience feel inferior."

At least the puzzles in the game are mostly decent. They definitely ramp up toward the end, but there isn’t anything too taxing as long as you’re paying attention and exploring the environments. Subtle things like the colors on a banner indicating the order of a set of numbers and drawings indicating where you should go next are things you can expect, and I appreciate the game not holding your hand too much in terms of what to do and where to go. Hello Neighbor 2 kindly requests that you use your brain, and I like that.

The original Hello Neighbor game was designed for PC, and many things about its presentation appear to have remained the same, to the detriment of its experience on consoles. I played through the game on PS5, which looks fantastic by the way, but there are real problems related to how the player interacts with the world that make the console experience feel inferior.

Hello Neighbor 2 is a first-person game, and the aiming experience in any first-person game is critically important. Here, it wavers between functional and awful, depending on what you’re doing. For most things, it’s serviceable. You can look at buttons and objects and interact with them just fine if they are on the larger side. But much of the game revolves around keys, which are small objects with tiny “hitboxes” or areas where you can trigger the interaction. This would be fine if I was playing with a keyboard and mouse, but the tuning of the right analog stick is not cut out for fine movements like that by default, and you unfortunately need to do them semi-frequently.

"I really wanted to like Hello Neighbor 2. The world and story are gripping and enthralling, and the puzzle/chase gameplay is fun (when it works). I can see why the series has become so wildly popular. But the things that either don’t work or otherwise get in the way of the experience really got me down."

Continuing with the game’s controls, I had some frustrating experiences in other respects. Hello Neighbor 2 assigns the “interact” button to R1 on the PS5. The “use” button for the gadgets and items you have equipped is also R1. There were a few times when I was running away to hide in a closet and brought up the drone’s remote-control screen instead of jumping into the closet, which kicked me out of the house and forced me to start my process again. This happened frustratingly frequently, and it feels like the default buttons for these actions should have been separated.

I really wanted to like Hello Neighbor 2. The world and story are gripping and enthralling, and the puzzle/chase gameplay is fun (when it works). I can see why the series has become so wildly popular. But the things that either don’t work or otherwise get in the way of the experience really got me down. Maybe the inevitable Hello Neighbor 3 will get it right.

This game was reviewed on the PlayStation 5.

But it’s not over yet. December offers even more big releases worth checking out, whether you’re a survival horror fan, racing game enthusiast, or looking to toss a coin to your Witcher, once again. Let’s look at the biggest games launching in December 2022.

The Callisto Protocol

Striking Distance Studios’ The Callisto Protocol immediately made an impression when it was revealed to be directed by Glen A. Schofield, co-creator of Dead Space. The over-the-top brutality, moody interiors, terrifying atmospherics, and sci-fi setting call Visceral’s franchise to mind. However, it builds on that formula in unique ways. Melee combat and stealth are possible, and you’ll need to rely on the former with how scarce ammo can be.

The mutant Biophages aren’t just shambling, violent reminders of Black Iron’s inmates. They’re monstrosities that can transform, becoming stronger if you don’t kill them fast enough. Of course, death plays a major part in The Callisto Protocol as protagonist Jacob Lee can be eaten, crushed, dismembered, and all kinds of horrible things (which you get an Achievement/Trophy for witnessing, so feel free to experiment). Along with working through the prison, Lee traverses Callisto’s surface and investigates the remains of the first colony.

With a 14 to 15-hour playtime, alternate routes, and a compelling mystery behind the terror, The Callisto Protocol is looking to be a scary good time. It’s out on December 2nd for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns

Marvel’s superheroes, a dark premise, and tactical turn-based combat from the team behind XCOM? That’s a concept many got behind before its official reveal, but a lot more is going on in Marvel’s Midnight Suns than meets the eye. Developed by Firaxis, it sees The Hunter resurrected to fight their parent, Lilith before the world ends. They’ll do this with the Midnight Suns, a collection of heroes ranging from the upright Captain America and Spider-Man to the more occult-minded like Nico Minoru, Magick, and Ghostrider.

Combat plays out in a turn-based fashion like XCOM. However, each hero’s abilities consist of cards drawn and played as the fight progresses. You can have three heroes in a party for a mission, and additional actions like throwing enemies into the environment are available. It’s a big shift away from tactical cover-based combat, but over 80 abilities for The Hunter and unique play styles for each hero (including Heroic Cards) make for plenty of customization. Plus you can hang out with heroes at the Abbey to upgrade their passives, unlock new cosmetics, Combo Cards, and much more.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns also releases on December 2nd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. The campaign is about 50 hours, but completing the side content can push that past 80 hours.

Need for Speed Unbound

Criterion Games is back on the Need for Speed franchise with the colorfully stylish Need for Speed Unbound. Set in Lakeshore City, players dive into the resident underground street racing scene, completing weekly qualifiers and participating in The Grand.

Along the way, they’ll meet several characters, including A$AP Rocky, who hosts the Takeover Scene. There are over 140 vehicles to choose which are extensively customizable with tons of different parts. Much like Need for Speed Heat, you participate in races and events during the day to earn money or Bank and then risk it all at night for bigger returns. The cops are also back and more brutal than ever, with everything from a pursuit helicopter to Undercover Camaros, and do anything to stop you.

So far, it all sounds very Need for Speed-esque, but Unbound embraces street culture with its use of Tags. These special effects apply to boosts, drifts, jumps, and much more for some visual flair. You can also use work from artists like Sentrock and JC Riviera as Wraps for your car and strip it down to its innards with new full kit options.

Need for Speed Unbound releases on December 2nd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Whether gimmicky or a huge step up from Heat, it’s worth keeping an eye on.

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution

As the follow-up to The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, Chapter 2: Retribution continues the journey of the player character, The Tourist, in New Orleans. You’re still killing Walkers, whether it’s with firearms or axes, and exploring the environment for resources and other survivors, who you can either help or harm. The sequel offers new locations to explore, new quests, and new weapons like the sawed-off shotgun and chainsaw.

You’ll also encounter a new faction, the Exiles, and it may be worth helping them. They’re rejected by the Tower and unfavored by the Reclaimed, so you’ll need to weigh your options carefully (especially since the former seems to make some big moves). There’s also the Axeman, an unstoppable enemy that constantly pursues you.

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution is out on December 1st for Meta Quest 2, but also coming to PlayStation VR and PlayStation VR2 in 2023.

Hello Neighbor 2

The first Hello Neighbor was a unique concept. A stealth horror game where you snuck around the mysterious Mr Peterson’s house and tried to avoid capture, and each time you failed, his AI would learn from it. Unfortunately, bugs and issues with performance and controls severely hampered its potential.

Hello Neighbor 2 seeks to remedy that, opening up the entirety of Raven Brooks for exploration. You’re a journalist investigating Mr Peterson, but it seems the town itself has something to hide. There are multiple neighbors now, from the Taxidermist and the Baker to The Mayor, who possesses an attack dog. An AI Neural Network is employed for the neighbors, ensuring that they learn from your tactics and optimize their methods accordingly while still acting naturally. As the game progresses, you’ll come across different events, some predetermined and others procedural.

In terms of improvements, the controls should be more fluid, and players can benefit from improved climbing to better explore the world. Hello Neighbor 2 is out on December 6th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC, in addition to Game Pass. An average playthrough will take about eight hours, but there is side content to indulge in.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Next-Gen Update

After a few delays, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition is finally set to release on December 14th for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (with the update also free to PC players). It adds ray-traced global illumination, 4K/30 FPS and 60 FPS modes, FSR 2.0 support, vastly improved vegetation and screen space reflections, and other improvements.

In terms of quality-of-life features, the long-running Wolf School Gear quest bug has finally been fixed. The map allows for filtering out all the different question marks, and the mini-map is more dynamic, with objectives disappearing while exploring or fighting. A new camera setting that sits closer to Geralt, accessibility features for subtitle size and HUD scaling and a new control option for using Signs are also being added. PS5 players can also benefit from DualSense support. Of course, all versions also receive access to content based on Netflix’s The Witcher, providing new armor for Geralt and alternative appearances for characters like Dandelion.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition is out on December 14th for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5. It’s a free upgrade for owners on PS4 and Xbox One, but if you’ve never played the original game and its expansions and want to see what the fuss is about, this will be the definitive version.

Choo-Choo Charles

If you asked someone to define a survival horror game, traveling on the tracks while a demonic spider train tries to eat them would have been the last guess. Developed by Gavin Eisenbeisz, Choo-Choo Charles is about the same demonic train, who goes by the name Charles. It’s your job to kill it. You start with a relatively mediocre locomotive and can upgrade it with weapons like a flamethrower, heavy cannons and rocket launcher.

Scavenging parts is necessary to achieve this, though, which is only possible while traversing the world.  With a vast open world to explore and secrets to uncover, who knows what else could lie in store? We’ll find out when Choo-Choo Charles launches on December 9th for PC.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion

One of the best PlayStation Portable games ever, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7, gets the remastered treatment. “Remaster” is probably an understatement, though – Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion looks almost like a remake with redone assets, character models, environments and effects, all in Unreal Engine 4. It even runs in 4K resolution on Xbox Series X and PS5, with a variable 60 FPS (though PC players can take advantage of up to 120 FPS).

On top of this are tons of quality-of-life changes and improvements. Combat is more fluid with linkable combos, and you now have more slots for Materia and items. A new Dash function has also been added to get around the environments faster, while the combat UI looks far sleeker. Limit Breaks are also freely accessible without relying on the Digital Mind Wave (and you can now skip the latter’s cutscenes). There are also new cinematics for the Summons.

There aren’t any new story elements, but if you want to know more about Zack’s story and the events leading into the original game, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is the best option. It launches on December 13th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Dragon Quest Treasures

As a spin-off of Square Enix’s Dragon Quest series that releases on December 9th for the Nintendo Switch, Dragon Quest Treasures tells the story of Erik and Mia. Upon boarding a Viking longship and meeting mysterious creatures named Porcus and Purrsula, they venture to the land of Draconia.

Unlike other games in the franchise, Dragon Quest Treasures is more about exploration and treasure-hunting. Draconia comprises five different islands, each with various treasures like weapons and armor (some of which may be familiar to series fans). With the help of various monsters, you can navigate the environment with their unique Fortes, look for the treasure through their eyes with Fortune Finder, and even fight hostile monsters. They’ll even carry your treasure.

Upon finding the treasure, it’s back to base for evaluating it for the best price. It’s all to find the seven Dragonstones, but overall, Dragon Quest Treasures presents a unique spin on the traditional formula of turn-based combat. In addition to series favorites, there are new creatures to encounter, rival gangs to battle, and a wide range of monsters to recruit.

Players return to the town of Raven Brooks, and this time, it seems something is up with the entire neighborhood. With the sequel releasing on December 6th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, PS4, and PS5 – along with Game Pass on day one – here are 12 things you need to know before diving in.

Story

Instead of Nicky Roth, the story focuses on a journalist, who has arrived in the town of Raven Brooks to investigate Mr Peterson, the infamous neighbor. If the first game is any indication, then he’s probably up to no good, but things are a seemingly bit more complicated this time around. To learn more, you’ll need to collect evidence which involves unlawful entry into some places. But if you’re persistent, then you’ll probably unravel the mystery of Raven Brooks.

Gameplay

At its heart, Hello Neighbor 2 is a stealth horror game. To investigate a neighbor, you’ll need to break into their house. Of course, they’re none too pleased with your doing so, and will often chase you down with extreme prejudice. Sneaking about is one thing, but you’ll also have to platform, climb, and maybe even combine items to survive. Be careful – once you’re caught, it’s back to square one. But at least you can learn the neighbors’ patterns and exploit them, right? Well, not quite, thanks to the…

AI Neural Network

The first game’s AI would adapt to the player’s failures, deploying traps, learning their patterns and countering them. This wasn’t very well realized in the final game, but the sequel is different. It uses an AI Neural Network to learn from the player, and dynamic seeking results in more natural searches instead of a neighbor checking predetermined locations. They’ll also alter their daily schedule, optimize their methods of locating the player, and more. It’s significantly less random than the first game while ensuring new ways for you to fight back.

Multiple Neighbors

In a big departure from its predecessor, Hello Neighbor 2 features multiple suspicious neighbors aside from Mr Peterson. You have The Baker, who seems to be hiding something in the croissants; the Taxidermist, who may be up to something shady; and The Mayor, who has an attack dog protecting something important. It’s ultimately up to you to determine what they’re all hiding. Though they all benefit from the Neural Network and evolve accordingly, they each have different behavior patterns based on their characters.

Multiple Houses

The world of Raven Brooks isn’t confined to a single house, this time expanding to the entire neighborhood. You’re free to go anywhere from the very beginning. Lead designer Nikita Kolesnikov couldn’t provide an exact size for the map but confirmed that “it absolutely will be bigger than the observable part of the Raven Brooks from the original game.” On top of characters to interact with, you also have various puzzles to solve. The idea is to offer a “dense environment where there is always something to do.”

Evolving World

Another interesting gameplay mechanic is that the world will evolve as the player makes progress. Solving cases alters the behavior of the various AI, and there’s a mix of predetermined and procedural events. The goal seems to be taking the emergent gameplay that could occur in the first game (when it worked) and expanding its scale to that of an entire town. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see how well that works, but the premise is exciting.

Improved Controls

Among the many problems that the original Hello Neighbor had at launch was its controls. Movement felt floaty, and climbing got annoying quickly. The poor performance and bugs didn’t help either. The jury is still out on the latter two, but Hello Neighbor 2 is looking to fix the controls. Kolesnikov said that the team is trying to make them “much more fluid and flexible. Not only in terms of input but in terms of abilities to explore the world.” Climbing has also significantly improved as players can more freely explore the world.

Playtime

Despite its open-world approach, Hello Neighbor 2 isn’t going to dwarf its competitors in playtime. Kolesnikov believes it will take around eight hours “at the start” for an average playthrough. Of course, this could depend on several things, from how much side content and puzzles the player completes to replaying the game and discovering new AI behaviors.

System Requirements

In terms of hardware requirements, PC players will need an Intel Core i5-4460 CPU 3.20 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 at minimum to run the game. Recommended requirements include a Core i7-8700, 8 GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Oddly enough, the installation size is yet to be confirmed. The second alpha required 4 GB of space, so expect that at the very minimum (obviously, the final game will be larger). Overall though, nothing too crazy or unmanageable by today’s standards.

Deluxe Edition and Pre-Order Bonuses

There are two different versions – the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. If you pre-order the Standard Edition (which costs $40), then you’ll gain instant access to the closed beta. Pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition for $60 provides five days of early access to the game, so you can start playing on December 1st. You also gain access to three day-one DLC packs for even more content.

DLC Packs

Hello Neighbor 2 sports not one, not two, but three significant pieces of DLC content at launch. These are Back to School, Late Fees, and Hello-copter. Each adds even more neighbors with special traits, new locations (including a school and library), and some “advanced investigative tools.” The latter seems to involve a drone that players can remotely pilot around, though further details have yet to be confirmed.

Post-Launch Support

Aside from the Day One DLCs, there are also plans to “actively support the game after its release,” as per Kolesnikov. What these updates entail remains to be seen, but they’ll add to the overall playthrough time and expand on Raven Brooks overall.

Please note that some of these games may have 2022 as a tentative release date as of the time of writing this feature, and are subject to change. 

With that out of the way, let’s begin:

God of War: Ragnarok

Sony Santa Monica delivered an excellent reimagining of God of War with its 2018 reboot which masterfully combined sincere storytelling with adrenaline-pumping gameplay. Those familiar with the game would know that the story ended on a cliffhanger, and naturally – fans are more than excited to see the narrative unfold with the sequel. The aptly titled God of War: Ragnarok will continue the adventures of Kratos and Atreus as they bring about Fimbulwinter. God of War: Ragnarok releases on 9 November 2022 for PS4 and PS5.

Hello Neighbor 2 is all about sneaking around a seemingly ordinary-looking neighborhood in search of answers about what happened to the now-missing Mr. Peterson. The sequel improves upon key aspects of the original such as the self-learning AI, which should help in making encounters with your creepy stalker a constantly thrilling experience.

Those who pre-order will also get early access to the game five days prior to release alongside exclusive day-1 DLC. Hello Neighbor 2 is coming to PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 on December 6th.

On top of that, previously announced for Xbox platforms and PC, Hello Neighbor 2 will now also be dropping on PS4 and PS5- as revealed in a new trailer, which you can check out below. Hello Neighbor 2 will be expanding upon the foundations of the original, with a much more fleshed-out narrative where players will be assuming the role of a reporter investigating missing persons cases.

Additionally, there’s also the fully explorable open-world of Raven Brooks, which should provide many opportunities of snooping around restricted areas, with a persistent stalker character always looking to chase you down.

As detailed in a recent PlayStation blog, tinyBuild has a rather unconventional yet intriguing way of doing horror: “We approach horror in a more delicate way, doing away with the straight in-your-face classic horror aspects of the grown-up world. We’re working with more subtle things; creepy neighbors that you cannot trust, mysterious things that go bump in the night, a rural town with a secret, and the feeling of unease when you may be just about to uncover a skeleton in somebody’s closet,” the developer writes.

It’s also been announced that Hello Neighbor 2‘s beta releases on April 7, and pre-orders for the game are now live. Make sure to also can check out our interview with lead designer and series creator Nikita Kolesnikov through here.

At the recent E3 2021 PC Gaming Show, we got another look at the horror game. The newest trailer is a pretty brief one, and doesn’t show a whole lot of gameplay, but it is continuing to set up what’s looking like an experience full of creepiness and horror shenanigans. Take a look below.

Hello Neighbor 2 is due out some time this year for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC, though an exact release date still hasn’t been confirmed. Hopefully that info isn’t too far away either. In the meantime, you can get more details on the game, its open world, how its AI functions, and much more in our interview with lead designer and series creator Nikita Kolesnikov through here.

In terms of length, the show will be 90 minutes long and features 39 new videos, game announcements and interviews. Some of the titles that will be appearing include Naraka Bladepoint, Dying Light 2 (in which Techland will provide an “in-depth look” into protagonist Aiden), Hello Neighbor 2 (which receives new gameplay) and more. Viewers can also expect “big news” for the Orcs Must Die! franchise, a “major” announcement and reveal for Humankind, and “a message from Valve regarding Steam.”

Of course, there will be several unannounced titles along with reveals from Shiro Games (of Northgard fame) and a new game from tinyBuild. E3 2021 will run from June 12th to 15th – check out the schedule here for more details. Publishers that are confirmed include Microsoft, Bethesda, Capcom, Take Two Interactive, Gearbox Entertainment, Ubisoft and much more.
