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.

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

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

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 engaging, simple and at the same time challenging. If you are into this type of games, don't miss it.

Moving Out has a good variety of levels and arcade games to keep players interested, which is important because of the repetitive nature of the game.

While the Overcooked series is famously (or is it infamously?) known to many fans of local multiplayer I'll admit that I consider one of its weaknesses to be broad approachability...

Moving Out is a charming multiplayer experience where you provide as many thrills and spills as the game’s environment. It’s challenging without being overly frustrating, allowing you to mix recklessness with tactics.

Moving Out is a whimsical and absurdly hysterical game at times. Although it fails to deliver when you’re playing by yourself, it otherwise shines by focusing on the fun while finding smart detours around the frustration. Fans of same-screen co-op should definitely be moving on to Moving Out.

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

Overall, Moving Out is a welcomed addition to one’s arsenal of co-op games. It’s not just a co-op, but a well-designed experience that puts a stress-relieving spin on a universally stressful experience.

As an arcade game, Moving Out fulfills its objective of entertaining and amusing in a crazy scenario where physics is the main character, something that is enhanced when playing with more friends. The bad thing is that we don't have an online mode, something that given its multiplayer nature would have been very grateful

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.

As far as party games go, Moving Out is one of the best of recent years.

Moving Out offers a zany and fun approach to one of real-life’s most unenjoyable tasks, with its multiplayer orientated gameplay keeping me hooked in for hours on end. Honestly, if you’re looking for a game to play with your friends and family during this crazy lockdown, Moving Out will be perfect for you – its multiplayer-focus encourages you to work together, cause plenty of destruction, and laugh a ton along the way. It does have a few glitches here and there and its lack of online multiplayer is disappointing, but overall Moving Out is another multiplayer hit from Team 17 that gamers will DEFINITELY want to check out.

If anything, the floppiness and bounciness of the characters make them more funny and charming. In addition, the colorful and light-hearted art style pairs well with the simple gameplay. The single-player experience probably isn't enough to justify a purchase, but if you can get multiple people together, Moving Out is another excellent local co-op title that you'll want to bring out again and again.

All in all, Moving Out is a stand-out party game for kids and adults alike, though it can take a while to get into.

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