    Moving 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 moreMoving 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.… Expand

    For those few who think having a good time with a game means moving furniture out of buildings while dodging annoying obstacles under constant time constraints, here you go. For the rest of us, we enjoy escaping such real-life labor by immersing ourselves with something much different, and certainly less frustrating.

    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.

    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.

    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.
