The most high-profile game releases of April 2020 were no doubt Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Resident Evil 3, but there are some notable smaller games releasing as well. This includes Moving Out, a multiplayer indie game that has been favorably compared to Overcooked and has earned decent reviews from critics so far.

At the time of this writing, Moving Out is sitting comfortably at a 77 rating on the review aggregate site OpenCritic. The lowest review is a 6/10, and the highest review is 9/10. Most of the reviews seem to fall in the 7/10 - 8/10 range, but even the more critical ones appear to acknowledge that the game is good for some multiplayer laughs. It seems that the game's fun factor will largely be dependent on whether or not one has someone to play with, so those looking for a fun local co-op game may very well be in luck.

Moving Out's release date is April 28, so more impressions and reviews for the game should be released sooner rather than later. In the meantime, here is a selection of reviews that have been released for the zany local co-op game so far.

TheSixthAxis (Adrian Burrows)

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?

Score: 9/10

IGN (Tristan Ogilvie)

Provided you’ve got at least one friend in tow to share the load and the laughs, Moving Out is an absolute blast. It takes a simple set of mechanics and milks madness and mirth from them in equal measures, consistently shaking up the parameters of its heavy-lifting assignments to keep you on your toes while you’re bending at the knees. Moving Out is the best way to get your mates to help you move house without having to owe them a case of beer afterwards.

Score: 8/10

GamesRadar (Ellen Causey)

Overall, Moving Out is an exciting and genuinely funny co-op experience, the writing is smart, the game is stylish and some stand out levels are brilliantly designed. If you think the relationships with your co-op partners can handle it, then it’s time to join the Smooth Moves Family. Score: 3.5/5

Eurogamer (Christian Donlan)

While the accessible controls and cute presentation are inviting to all types of players, the action itself can get a little fiddly. It's very easy to get stuck in doorways carrying a bed, for instance, or have objects fall into awkward positions amid the chaos. It's not too big an issue but it does frustrate when you waste precious seconds getting snagged on walls. For moving experts, there are optional objectives and gold times to aim for. Completing the extra tasks rewards you with coins that unlock even trickier challenges in an arcade, extending the life of quite a short game. It doesn't quite hit the same heights as its peers, but it's hard to deny its simple pleasures.

It should also be noted that  Moving Out's soundtrack was worked on by Lenny Macaluso, who co-wrote the classic 80s song "The Touch," so that's definitely something players should take into account as well.
