Moving Out 2 is very similar to the first iteration. You pick up furniture through a maze of homes, fields, castles, and more. Sometimes you have to do the reverse and put move furniture and items into the level.

Here there are some varieties to the levels. In the future levels, you use batteries to open up doors with limited time until the door closes or use robot to accomplish other changes to the levels to help maneuver to hard to reach furniture and items. In the wizard levels you can use portals to find ways to areas that are not accessible by just walking and jumping. In some levels you played games like a basketball game with furniture. In other levels you had to place certain items into portals rather than moving them out or in, which meant going around the levels finding all the same items and bringing each item to their correct portals to finish the levels.

As per usual, there are challenges in each levels to acquire stars. The stars give you experience points towards higher levels which open up more portions of the maps you uncover. I thought it was strange that this time around no achievement for getting all of the stars which kind of diminishes the purpose of having more stars than levels if there is not an incentive to get them all.

Playing with others, especially couch co-op is the way to go. While this game won't get you upset such as Overcooked, it will definitely test the durability of your relationship still. The graphics are great for what you are playing, there is no need to be any more realistic, the art design works well. The varying worlds offer varying backdrops to your levels and certain types of furniture and items to match. The sounds are anything to write about, but they compliment the game quite well, especially the farts when you're trying to push furniture all by yourself exerting more energy than you should.

While the game is not much different than the original, it's still a fun time and with enough new variations throw into the mix that it feels more like a full expansion (rather than a DLC) that adds to the original while not breaking the formula. Pick this up if you haven't played the original, or pick it up if you enjoyed the original and are itching for more comic moving relief.
