    Interesting concept with a real Overcooked vibe but feels rough around the edges on execution. The lack of online multiplayer is absolute poison for the game and makes the game virtually unplayable for anything but couch-coop. Even then, there are far better games for the price that are far more feature-rich to boot.

    Maybe pick up for a quick buzz with a local friend at the $5-10 mark but a hard pass at the current price point with how little it offers.    … Expand

    Moving out seems like an interesting idea for a coop game but it's executed poorly.
    The game is suspiciously similar to "Overcooked!" but it's made by a different studio. The striking resemblance is increased even by details like wheelchair characters and most importantly the level select loby where you drive a vehicle around to pick a level.

    The game is suspiciously similar to "Overcooked!" but it's made by a different studio. The striking resemblance is increased even by details like wheelchair characters and most importantly the level select loby where you drive a vehicle around to pick a level.

    But unlike Overcooked Moving Out is a 100% brainless game. And that's the sole but major problem of this game. In Overcooked you have to make various meals based on different recipes while being pushed by time and equipment limits whereas in Moving Out you just move all object from a house to the truck and that's it. There's literally no need to think since the game doesn't give you any other challenge nor it penalizes you for damaging properties.

    To compare the experience with some similar games, it's if Overcooked had just one recipe consisted of only one ingredient throughout the whole game or as if "Papers, please" had just one information to verify.

    This game may have nice artstyle, animations, interesting heavily sarcastic humour or good transwhite pedophile bootleg music but the game is one huge chore to play and it's repetitive since the very first level.
    I guess this game falls into the "games to play with your girlfriend" category.    … Expand

    An excellent game to play in cooperation with friends, fun, beautiful and easy to play. Following a recipe similar to Overcooked, this game is ideal for casual matches. The only missing point is the on-line cooperative, but it is ignored with the possibility of using Steam's Remote Play Together feature.

    This is the perhaps the best game you can play in coop sharing the same screen - who might have ever thought that simple process of moving furniture can bring so much fun?

    A fun pastime that eventually gets repetitive due to the lack of features that should've been added in to spice things up as you progress. Also, a game that is only playable in co-op, yet does not support online multiplayer. Best played in short bursts and shuffled amongst other party games.

    Moving Out is such a fun game to play as long as you have friends or family who enjoy communication games and just pure chaos.

    The only problem is the local Co-op only multiplayer. However you could download Parsec which allows you to host the game and your friends can join as if they are local, or if you have it on Steam you could use Steam Remote Play Together. Both work well with maybe alittle lag with the more people involved.

    I made an account just to review this game so that has to mean something.    … Expand

    My partner and I are big fans/masochists of 'designed to test your marriage' couch coop games after exhausting the last two Overcooked titles, and Moving Out seemed like a great title to continue onto.

Just like how Overcooked took the act of cooking into video game form, true to its name Moving Out is focused on operating a moving company with the goal of as little damage to your client's furniture as possible. Easier said than done, since the physics and controls deliberately test your mental resilience.

    You'll probably want to high five your partner as many times as you want to wring their necks, since there's a high likelihood that you’ll be questioning why they went left instead of *obviously* moving right, just as much as they’ll be questioning your navigational sensibilities since you went right instead of left. Communication is key in these types of games, not just mentally projecting what your partner should *obviously* be able to read from your mind. You can’t do it all on your own, so Moving Out does a good job of making the key cooperative aspect fun and challenging.

    However, the satisfaction of the core gameplay loop is still a bit lacking when comparing a moving company to cooking. The rush and sense of achievement you get in Overcooked when you eventually improve to an army drill-like sense of teamwork and precision after cooking a ridiculously complex meal is powerful, while navigating a couch around a corner successfully just feels expected.

    Overall, the game features great, fun and cartoony graphics and a large amount of content, with a good sense of humour and a perfect, light escapist tone in these trying current times.

    Just don’t throw your controller at the wall in frustration. Also a great litmus test if you should move in together.    … Expand

    Moving Out is a joyous experience. The chaos is ever-present, but the chill approach ensures that everyone is having a good time instead of gradually wanting to tear each other apart. The number of levels is just right, and the presentation is appealing. It serves as a perfect complement to other co-op titles and belongs in the library of anyone who enjoys the genre.

    Although the single player mode bored me to death, I found a lot of excitement in co-op. That, unsurprisingly, is what the game was built for. [07/2020, p.66]

    Moving Out is a light-hearted approach to the art of furniture removal, and with the cute visuals, hilarious dialogue and story, and simple control scheme, Moving Out is a game that is accessible for anyone. The bonus level achievements and the Gold Medal collection will mean that each level has a certain amount of replayability as gamers chase down each of the achievements on offer. And with up to four players locally, the whole family can get into the fun-filled action (especially during a period of isolation). Moving furniture has never been so entertaining.
