You won&#8217;t begin to appreciate its anarchic brand of fun until you realize it&#8217;s much faster to chuck boxes through a second story window than it is to take the stairs. Along with increasingly harder time goals, each level also comes with three separate and often contradictory challenges (don&#8217;t break\u00a0<i>any<\/i>\u00a0glass or break\u00a0<i>all<\/i>\u00a0the glass) for plenty of replay value. Fortunately we have a very generous renewal policy.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0I played it single-player, it is truly intended for the co-op experience. Imagine the fun of arguing about whether your friend means &#8220;your&#8221; left or &#8220;my&#8221; left while hauling a bed through a serpentine hallway. Or lobbing\u00a0boxes of fine china over an in ground pool to a waiting teammate on the other side, whose character&#8217;s head is a toaster. Or toggling the flamethrower trap at the right instant (you&#8217;ll see).<\/p>\n<p>The game practically begs you to enjoy it by offering some difficulty-relaxing options without shaming you like a cheater. The art style, too, is almost cloyingly appealing and crammed with blink-and-you-miss-it gags that I won&#8217;t spoil.<\/p>\n<p>My only complaint is how mushy the controls felt at times. Your character giddily lurches and cantors around even when empty-handed. Some levels require a sober sort of precision which can lead to a lot of frustration after your character&#8217;s umpteenth dunk in the red hot guava juice (you&#8217;ll see).<\/p>\n<p>Overall it was a blast that had me reluctant to return it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving Out is a moving simulator game where you work against the clock to load a van with boxes and furniture, but please don&#8217;t stop reading here.
