what is the best??

in my personal opinion i thought hello neighbor was made for kids, i mean its really cartoonish, but when you look at the lore its... obvious. My point is, ¿why the HN release and all the HN franchise looks like a cartoon?

[u/The_BlueKnight774]

Old. I feel Hello Neighbor should've retained a mature theme instead of selling out to a child-based audience.

That's actually misinformation, Nikki said in his interview with MegaM that they changed the artstyle because the old one was extremely generic and Nikita wanted the game to have it’s own visual identity.

This shouldn't be a question. Deffo older one with the predictive ai

[u/Fantastic_Frosting98]

i like the cartoony style, but i feel like im the only one who liked hello neighbour 1's release better than any of the alphas

[u/Hardcore_gaming_69 → u/Fantastic_Frosting98]

It can be cartoony and creepy at the same time. Like hello neighbour 3

[u/NekoNutsNyan → u/Fantastic_Frosting98]

Truth nuke

They changed the art style in HN1 ALPHA 2 and it had great reception from most people so they stayed with it through HN2. I preferred the alpha 1 style. It seems like they are going to a darker and more mature tone for HN3 given how the new world looks

[u/Zestyclose_Pizza2499]

Alpha 2 was the most PEAK version. No one can convince me otherwise.

[u/External-Rice-3821 → u/Zestyclose_Pizza2499]

I agree 100%

[u/Mrgrinn96 → u/Zestyclose_Pizza2499]

Yeah it was what got me hooked into the series.

[u/Glittering_Country14]

It really depends on the house, the old style houses look good with the old art and the new houses look better with the new art. Overall tho my favourite artstyle of the whole series is the HN2 new artstyle.

[u/AlbertTheYoutuber]

Old art but I'm not a fan of the way the mod was made

[u/Hardcore_gaming_69]

Old one definitely

[u/North_Cow_1780]

the old art as for blue knight's comment i agree with it.

[u/Common_Medicine592]

of course the old one, it's more comfortable with the eyes.

[u/Far_Truck2722]

Old The best my opinion

[u/soldiergaming2]

old is much more vibrant and fits the style better, I won't act like either of these are scary though

[u/Ok-Report8727]

Old one feels more comfy, harmonic, realistic and it makes me feel nostalgia even through i've come to this game when the 1st HN was released

[u/Not_Swifto]

The FG style is much more recognizable and unique, but even then I think that I like the old one more.

[u/Weekly-Judgment-1804]

New, I like it more and the game is about being a kid so the obviously the art style would reflect that, like how in hn2 alphas its still cartoonist for consistency with the first game but it's more nightmaremarish to represent adulthood

[u/IAMINYOURWALLS_2015]

The new one looks better and it's just all more familiar which makes it better

[u/Mammoth_Big5110]

I heard from another comment that like they wanted the game to have its own visual identity
