\"\"<\/a>Moving to a new house can be a stressful time, but one way to cut down on that stress (maybe) is to hire a moving company to load your furniture onto a truck and move it for you.\u00a0 And now you can play a game where you do just that in Moving Out.\u00a0 This humorous multiplayer co-op game is available on all current home consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

So the first thing you\u2019ll do is pick your character from a selection of silly movers like a guy with a toaster for a head, or various humanized animals (you\u2019ll unlock more as you play).\u00a0 Then you drive to a house on a world map in your moving truck to select a stage.\u00a0 When you start a level, you must quickly move all the appointed furniture from the house to the truck.\u00a0 You\u2019ll pass if you can get it all onto the truck in the time limit, but you\u2019ll have to start again if you can\u2019t finish.<\/p>\n

Play control is easy to learn.\u00a0 Run around with the L stick and pick up items by holding down the trigger button.\u00a0 The other buttons let you do things like jump, throw what you\u2019re holding, and seeing which items you need to move (it\u2019ll pull up icons over what you must pick up, very handy).\u00a0 Another button lets you slap away spooky ghosts or territorial pets.\u00a0 Find shortcuts by breaking windows, and team up with another player to load up heavy items like beds and sofas to cut down on your time.\u00a0 Up to four can play locally at the same time.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll earn gold, silver, or bronze medals depending on how fast you finish a move.\u00a0 You can also earn coins by completing special objectives.\u00a0 These may be things like avoiding breaking windows, moving certain optional things like flamingos in the front yard, or making a basket by shooting hoops in a driveway basketball goal.\u00a0 Once you get enough coins, you can unlock a mini-game in the Arcade.\u00a0 These are like separate VR obstacle course style challenges where you must perform certain tasks you normally wouldn\u2019t need to in the main game, like jumping across small pits and such.<\/p>\n

I only had two main problems with the game.\u00a0 One, it\u2019s a bit repetitive as you just go back and forth from the truck to the house carrying things.\u00a0 They do change things up from time to time by having you avoid pets or swimming pools, but otherwise it\u2019s the same thing over and over.\u00a0 The other problem is that only after a few levels, the game is impossible to beat in single player mode under normal circumstances.\u00a0 Luckily if the game gets too difficult, you can turn on assist mode to make the time limits longer.\u00a0 There are other options you can toggle to make the game easier as well, so players of all skill levels can enjoy it.\u00a0 But other than that, this is a fun, simple little multiplayer focused game that anyone can get into and have fun with.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moving Out is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Cartoon Violence.\u00a0 You can slap away cartoony ghosts and animals, and cause collateral damage like breaking windows and pulling out plugged in appliances forcefully, but that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 There is some crude humor in the game as well, as the company you work for, Smooth Moves, uses the acronym F.A.R.T. in their introductory training video.\u00a0 But since the game is easy to understand and four people can play at the same time, it\u2019s great for the whole family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
