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

There's plenty of multiplayer fun in this game of benign wrecking balls.

Moving Out is a fun and chaotic co-op experience. While some levels will leave you in a fit of rage, others will have you in fits of laughter.

Moving Out is clearly inspired by Overcooked's chaotic co-op, but its inconsistent controls add a layer of aggravation likely to test friendships, marriages, and parent-child relationships

Played in the mindset of having old-fashioned fun rather than pushing your gaming skills to their limits, Moving Out has quite a lot to offer. It looks good, sounds good and plays well; it's just a shame there isn't a little bit more to get your teeth into. It's a lot of fun causing chaos with friends – throwing toasters through windows or trying to balance that last lampshade on the back of an over-stocked removal truck – but it's just not resonant enough as a co-operative experience to stick in your mind. A very good effort, but in our view, just too slight to be a lasting classic.

Moving Out on Switch has the potential to be the next Overcooked with some more polishing of the core gameplay, but regardless, it's a lovely new co-op experience From Team17.

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.

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 Out is mostly a seamless move, even considering these bumps in the road, because of its cooperative gameplay.

Moving Out is less strategically satisfying than I would've liked, but it's worth considering if you want something new to play along the lines of Overcooked, Tools Up, and Good Job. It deserves a spot on that co-op shortlist. At the same time, I hope we get DLC that adds more bespoke puzzle scenarios.

The best game about moving out there's ever been but, more importantly, a fun four-player co-op game that's perfect for causing family arguments everyone can enjoy.

Moving Out performs a seemingly impossible balancing act. It's both a challenging couch co-op physics puzzler, and yet it's completely accessible to everyone sat on that couch, regardless of their video game experience. Moving Out is fun, it's frivolous, it's joyful and it will have you laughing from beginning to end. Who could ask for more?

An accessible and fun local multiplayer experience, excellent if your'e looking for something to play with a younger brother. If you're looking for a more layered gameplay, though, better stick to 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.

Moving Out is a delightful couch co-op game missing a crucial component in these trying times: online multiplayer. Moving is hard without friends.

Moving Out's accomplished blend of pick-up-and-play mechanics mixed with the sincerity in which it delivers its humour and aesthetic make it some of the best local multiplayer fun you'll have this year.

Moving Out does not seem to feature the most ambitious concept but one should never underestimate how fun a game can be, even if it's designed around the idea moving out. With frantic action and an insane pressure to put furniture into a truck, Moving Out delivers a frantic experience that will keep players on their toes. If this experience might prove too frantic for some and its controls might not work as well as expected, it's no less true that Moving Out earned its place in the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

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.

Moving Out is a fast-paced, arcade-style co-op that leans into carefree, chaotic, over-the-top gameplay.
