I recently read a really interesting interview with WonYoung Lee, the game director for CookieRun: OvenSmash. They were talking about how tough it was to take the CookieRun universe – which has always been about collecting and adventure – and turn it into a fast-paced, real-time PvP game. Apparently, the team is trying to balance keeping the fun, lighthearted CookieRun vibe we all love with the quick, intense action you expect from a competitive PvP game. It sounds like they’re focusing on short, exciting matches and different modes to make it work, and it’s cool to hear how they’re approaching it all.
Since its release, Hello Neighbor has received very mixed reactions. While it was highly anticipated in 2017, many players were disappointed by its unpredictable enemy behavior, lack of tension, and a storyline that didn’t fully capture their interest.

Critics haven’t been impressed – it has an 8% recommendation rate on OpenCritic – and general player reception has been similarly lukewarm, except on Steam, where it surprisingly enjoys an 83% satisfaction rate.

When it comes to pure villainy, few anime characters compare to Frieza from Dragon Ball. Although later installments sometimes played his evil for laughs, in the original Dragon Ball, Frieza was a truly terrifying force – he killed simply for enjoyment and spread destruction everywhere. He’s also inspired countless other iconic anime villains, which solidifies his status as a more impactful villain than characters like Pain.
