About This Game

Moving Out comes from Team17, the studio behind Overcooked, and applies the same timed co-op template to house removals. Up to four Furniture Arrangement and Relocation Technicians clear each home in the town of Packmore, and its defining quality is physics: sofas ragdoll, objects can be hurled through windows, and breaking things to load the truck faster is actively encouraged rather than punished.

The trade-off is variety. Critics were positive, landing around the high seventies on Metacritic and singling out its unusually thorough accessibility options, while noting the smash-and-carry loop grows repetitive across a long campaign. It suits mixed-skill groups and families wanting slapstick over precision, played couch co-op for up to four. Those who prefer the escalating, order-juggling tension of a kitchen sim, or want online play, are better served elsewhere on this list.
