    Moving Out is filled with plenty of beautifully designed buildings, providing plenty of challenges for you to enjoy alone or with up to three friends.

    Despite some hurdles, Moving Out proves to be a more than solid cooperative journey into the lifestyle of a removal service that I quickly found myself recruited for.

    Moving Out is a treat, full of charm and busting at the seams with a variety of different shifting-based levels.

    Moving Out is simple, light-hearted and fun – and a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you take it as face value, it’s well made and entertaining. Single player can get a bit boring, but this is clearly a multiplayer focused experience and it’s much more fun there. And yes, it may cause arguments, but isn’t that part of the fun?

    Moving Out is an incredibly funny and light-hearted experience. Especially the local co-op option promises tons of fun for a small group of friends, or for playing with the family. This title is definitely recommended for those wanting to be entertained and frustrated at the same time.

    As far as party games go, Moving Out is one of the best of recent years. And like any good co-op game, it’s not the winning that counts; it’s the weird and hilarious situations that you and your fellow players will find yourself in. Playing alone is a bit dull, but it’s nice the option has been included. If you happen to have some willing friends or family around and want something to brighten up an evening, you really can’t go far wrong with Moving Out.

    Enjoyably tense and frequently hysterical, Moving Out is a must play for fans of same-screen multiplayer games.

    Whether or not you’re starving for your next couch co-op game, Moving Out is a lot of fun and should be played by anyone who likes fun team-based games. It’s not exactly the most varied experience, but there are plenty of laughs and hilarious moments to be had if you’re playing Moving Out with friends.

    A most fun and dynamic experience that will be perfectly enjoyed if it is done with a good group of friends.

    Moving Out is a game you want to try if you are looking for something to play with a friend. It’s brilliantly designed and requieres a lot of skill and coordination, but it’s also fun and easy to pick up.

    I enjoyed my time with Moving Out, but that’s not to say I had fun. This game frustrated me. Deeply. In much of the same way Overcooked did. But Moving Out never entirely lives up to the bar set by Overcooked. At times it feels unfocused, scattered, and above all else, inconsistent in its rules. But where the technical side of the game lacks, the flair and pizazz of everything make up for it. I love the characters and the music, the couch co-op gameplay is second to none, and I appreciate a game that has no problem being there if you only need it for a few minutes to pass the time.

    A party game that transforms a horribly mundane activity into something uniquely pleasurable – especially with friends – Moving Out provides co-op furniture shifting that will in all probability ruin relationships, just like Overcooked did. And that's got to count for something.

    Moving Out's greatest aspect is its cheerful and humorous game world followed by its easy to pick up and play gameplay. In other words, if you're looking for a challenging co-op experience, you won't find that here but you will find a silly easy breezy lighthearted romp.

    There's a fun game in Moving Out, and I'm sure there's an audience who will get hours of multiplayer, physics-based enjoyment out of it - but for me there are better games that scratch the exact same itch. A lack of charm and humour and some dodgy physics really hold back a game that could have been a lot more enjoyable.

    Moving out is a lovely little party game. Lots of fun, and gently humorous with some good accessibility options making it easy to play with younger or less skilled players for everyone's enjoyment.

    Just like Overcooked, I can’t tell if the game is bringing us together or tearing us apart in these trying times, but it’s certainly teaching us how to communicate and cooperate in high-pressure situations, which is a skill that every family should be brushing up on during quarantine.

You canMoving Out has a charming sense of humor as the developers clearly went out of their way to make the game as accessible as possible. You can adjust difficulty in many ways to help you work thru the more difficult levels. While this feature does make it easier to move past some of the trickier levels, it doesn’t ultimately change the fact that moving furniture in Moving Out isn’t much more fun as helping a family member or friend move in real life. Some of the games mechanics seem to be simply led to chance based on the games mechanics that aren’t as refined as they could be. This isn’t a bad game but definitely packs in plenty of frustrating moments and "what in the world was that" moments. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as every time I’ve helped someone move there are plenty those moments and you save the busted up hands and sore body the next day. There’s plenty of obstacles to make your task more challenging to include ghosts, flamethrowers, and rising pools of guava that prove to be far from the biggest obstacles to your success. As a fan of most of the games published by Team 17 this one doesn’t quite reach the mark of the majority of their titles and sadly left me wanting more. I did happen to enjoy the homage to the “Frogger” levels, as I typically appreciate a nod to any classic game in a new creation of today. While I didn’t personally find the game overly exciting I would encourage fans of the overcooked franchise to at least give this one a go, as you should be more at home here with a few exceptions. I love the presentation of Moving Out and the bright colorful visuals and to credit the development team they did just about all anyone probably could do to make moving as fun of an experience in a gaming way possible. If you’re on the fence with this one maybe wait for a sale, I also had limited talent on my “moving team” during my review time with Moving Out, which is usually the case in a real life move and this could have added to my “what the” moments along the way.

Ignoring the occasional bit of arguing between us they're immense fun to play in co-op. So when I saw this come to gamepass we had to try it and it's really fun.
    It's no where near as good as Overcooked and the actual co-opness of Moving Out is probably not as needed as it is in OC, if anything it makes it a bit harder as some items of furniture require two people, but in single player they don't so in that respect it's easier in single player. But I suppose it's alot less on your own too. It's also short compared to OC (only took a few hours to complete the base game).
    But basically, play it with a friend and you should enjoy yourself for 3ish hours.
