  • grinding

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    7% positive mentions, 36% neutral mentions, 57% negative mentions

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, with many noting that it becomes increasingly unenjoyable as they progress. While some appreciate the originality in time trial elements, the level design often shifts from engaging to irritating, leading to a lack of motivation to continue.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “I tried playing with my sister, but we both found it tedious.”
    • “I liked the first couple of stages, but the game didn't become more enjoyable; it just became more tedious towards the end.”
    • “The game started off okay, but some of the levels are just infuriating. At some point, it went from a time management game to a platformer, which I might not have purchased if I knew. It was like they were designed to irritate you rather than challenge you. It's not difficult but rather tedious; I would say the level design and gameplay fell short after the first hour into the game.”

  • stability

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While many players found the game to run well overall and enjoyed its mechanics, the presence of these issues, especially in multiplayer settings, detracted from the experience for some. Improvements in stability and additional content were suggested by players to enhance gameplay.

    • “Moving Out has full remote play together support, the game runs great and offers a fun and lengthy story to work through with 1 to 3 friends or family.”
    • “The game only supports local co-op and is only playable online using Steam Remote Play, which makes it a pain to play with friends as it is quite buggy.”
    • “The terrain (like fans and oil, etc.) tended to be quite buggy, and the intentionally sluggish controls don't mesh well with that.”
    • “Gameplay doesn't require much strategy; why are challenges locked during first-level playthroughs? It includes occasional glitches.”

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    18% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions
