Secret Neighbor Review Cons:

Long initial load.
No tutorials.
You need Nintendo online to even press start on the game, You cant even look at the menus without it.
Doesn’t actually say what the game is about.
Going back to the Nintendo Switch menu for longer than like 30 seconds will disconnect you.
The menu is horrible to navigate.
Cannot rebind the controls.
Not new player-friendly.
The text especially in handheld mode is very small.
Graphics go blurry a lot of the time.
The game already assumes you know everything about Hello Neighbour so you should know this game.
Has team killing which is both a good thing and a curse.
The movement is just horrible.
Combat is clumsy.
