Did you know that âSchadenfreudeâ is a German word defined as the concept of finding joy in someone elseâs misfortune? It is also the main idea on which Neighbours Back From Hell is built. A whole TV show based on playing increasingly outrageous pranks on your grumpy neighbor to keep the audience entertained, and viewership numbers high. Itâs good to be bad in this early 2000s trash TV-inspired slapstick extravaganza.
As Woody, the vengeful star protagonist of Neighbours Back From Hell PC, you will prank your way through Seasons 1 and 2 of the fictitious, but aptly named TV show. Take the mischief from your nasty neighborâs flat all the way to China, India, and Mexico where you will make sure his holiday is a living hell. While youâre at it, why limit targeting your antics at your neighbor, when you can involve his mother and fellow travelers? Whatever you decide to do, your trusty camera crew will be right there and keep a keen eye on all the action.
You can let your crooked creativity flow freely and watch the neighbor rage in desperation. Just be mindful not to get caught by him or his companions, or they will whoop you good and your TV show will be taken off the air. If you perform well on the other hand, by creating more and more disarray and chaos in the neighborâs life, ratings will increase, and you could win prestigious awards.
A madcap blast from the past, Neighbors back from Hell doesnât do anything to change its original formula, but the added spit ân shine polish does give the fantastic pranking sandbox a new lease on life.
It may not be the smoothest experience and Iâm certainly missing some quality of life updates that would have made quite a difference, but that didnât stop Neighbours back From Hell from being the low-brow, low-effort kind of fun that doesnât take itself seriously.
A solid remaster of Neighbours From Hell and its sequel, fun if youâre up for some corny humor. [13/2020, p.60]
Neighbors Back From Hell is all about nostalgia, but other than that doesn't have much to offer. If you played and liked the old games you'll probably have a good time here, but as a new generation gamer it's a hit and miss.
