Moving Out 2 – Review

xboxoldies.com:

It’s been three years since the F.A.R.T’s were let lose in Packmore, but we’re back with the Furniture Arrangement and Removal Technicians for more removals mayhem in Moving Out 2.

After the success of games like Overcooked, I was a fan of the original Moving Out, which allowed up to 4 players to crowd around a single screen and yell at each other while trying to move a house full of furniture into the removal van for relocation. The original game had a few drawbacks, most notably a pretty familiar setting for many levels, and the limitation of only couch co-op meaning you were reliant on family and real-life friends, which most oldies will know aren’t the easiest things to gather around a pizza and the Xbox.

Moving out 2 looks to fix these issues by allowing a range out missions which are quite literally out of this world, alongside online co-op for those who want to play in the comfort of their own home without the whole social anxiety saga.

Gameplay follows the same system as the first game, with each level tasking you with moving a variety of furniture and appliances, some are small and can be easily thrown around, others might require two people to move quickly and others might be tethered by a power-cable which need yanking out of place before they’ll move freely, others are just plain awkward or will break easily, so you’ll often find yourself trying to collect certain items in order, while one of your so-called team mates does the exact opposite.

While your mission to retrain as a FART might seem tedious at first, there’s a wide range of new recruits, including characters and alternate skins which can be unlocked as you play and discover new locations and special crates. It’s not long before you’re back at HQ
