Moving Out

Moving Out is a friendship-ending comedy game about moving furniture at any cost. It’s a riot in both its premise and writing with a sizable amount of things to do that’ll keep you coming back for more wacky physics. While it’s best enjoyed with friends, it can still be fun on your own.

Moving Out is simply a fun experience. It's quite the challenge, making moving enjoyable, but this game delivers on that.

Moving Out's familiar brand of local-multiplayer party-game fun lets everyone join in on the fun, laughter, and cursing.

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.

Provided you’ve got at least one friend in tow to share the load and the laughs, Moving Out is an absolute blast. It takes a simple set of mechanics and milks madness and mirth from them in equal measures, consistently shaking up the parameters of its heavy-lifting assignments to keep you on your toes while you’re bending at the knees. Moving Out is the best way to get your mates to help you move house without having to owe them a case of beer afterwards.

Couch co-op that’s equal parts cathartic and chaotic. There’s no better way to bond than by tossing a TV or two into oncoming traffic. Moving Out’s charming, physics-based gameplay and equally quirky levels demand you bring a friend or three.

We have all got that call, the one to help a friend pack or unpack a moving van. We have all sat on an overturned couch as we try to figure out how to get it out a door or around a corner. If we are being completely honest, we have all even banged our friend’s house up a bit in doing so. Moving Out manages to capture that essence but in an enjoyable, fun, and frantic addition to couch co-op mayhem hysterics.

We’ve all experienced that feeling while in the process of moving. That feeling of dread when you realise how much junk you’ve somehow accumulated over the years, and that it’s only when you decide to move that these unnecessary items now become a bigger problem then they were before. Because you’re the one that’s going to have to move it.

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, but don't drop them in the sea, and mind out for the runaway chickens, and remember to lift with your noodley arms rather than your legs.

Moving is one of the most unfun chores on the planet. It’s as tiresome as it is tedious, even if everything goes smoothly and there’s a well-earned pizza at the end. But chores don’t always have to be chores when in video game form, as MOVING OUT is trying to prove. Although it’s not quite a forever home, this charming cooperative game is a cozy enough spot worth settling down in.

Enjoying otherwise fruitless labour in wacky video game form makes for a fun co-op formula so let's get moving and play Moving Out.

Moving Out is a welcome addition to the collection of couch co-op games that focus on an adrenaline and argument fueled race against the clock. Its gameplay loop is easy to understand but hard to master, throwing new obstacles at your around every corner. It just doesn't have the chaotic magic that made the Overcooked games special.
