great survival horror and what you would call "mascot" horror. i really appreciate the fact that this game didn't tried to have deep lore and stuff like that and this game didn't tried to blend into fnaf or poppy playtime type of games. for me "my friendly neighborhood" is how you should do mascot horror games – fun and wholesome while also having tense moments.
save rooms and inventory management really got me a feeling that i'm playing some old school horror game and i mean it as a compliment. level design in this game is also great in my opinion. there's a lot of backtracking but i wasn't annoyed becouse of that – all of these levels are so well designed that i didn't minded walking again to some places. my only complaint is combat, it felt a little clunky at times but at the same time i was really obsessed with these guns shooting with letters. this idea seems unserious at first but it blends great into the actual world of the game. puzzles were also well done – not to easy nor to hard, especially i really loved that one with board game, it was just excellent in my opinion.
"my friendly neighborhood" isn't a big aaa game or something that will blow your mind but it still manages to give great and memorable experience. a lot of people say that mascot horror genere is dead but it isn't and this game is a proof of that. mfn shows that there still can be awesome mascot horror games that aren't a cheap ripoff of what we've seen before. this game is really a breath of fresh air and i wish that more people would've played this.
