The Best Games Like Moving Out 2

Moving Out 2 is a popular game around our house. On four player Switch days it’s a hit. We have moved tons of furniture in this game. While we are always up for a round of moving, we also enjoy games like Moving Out 2 as well.

Our library of Switch games includes many similar games to Moving Out 2. While we have no shortage of games to choose from, not all are co-op games. Kirby Star Allies is great co-op fun but it’s nothing like Moving Out 2.

Co-op games are any game that requires cooperation between the players. Naturally, it requires two or more players. In our case, we have four players, sometimes five. Sure, it’s exciting to watch people playing solo. But if two or more people can join in, why not?

Instead of player vs player action, co-op games have players on the same team to achieve a goal. The idea is to work together but working against each other happens from time to time too. It’s all part of the fun.

Having fun is the most important part of gaming. There’s a learning curve to every game. Which is only increased by adding cooperation to the mix. Learning to play is one thing, learning to play with others is another.

Getting everyone on the same page takes some time. It takes a lot of practice for a team to gel. In the meantime, the madness provides a lot of entertainment.

Once the team starts working together, winning is easier. Working together is just as satisfying as winning. There’s something about winning as a team that you don’t get from solo play. It sets co-op games apart from other competitive games.

Instead of moving, this game is about cooking. Up to 4 players can join in and try their hand at cooking. Orders need filled and the clock is ticking for you and your fellow chefs.

Preparing meals is a tad more complicated than simply moving objects. Gathering ingredients, cooking, serving, and washing is involved. Working together is crucial so you don’t duplicate efforts or waste time.

If you like Moving Out 2 then Overcooked is worth checking out. From the tongue in cheek jokes to the themed levels, this game checks all the boxes for fun found in Moving Out 2.

It’s easy to learn, the controls are intuitive, and anyone can pick it up. The storyline to Overcooked is more developed than Moving Out 2, but the main appeal of this game is the gameplay.

In lieu of delivering objects this game has you delivering cars. Customers don’t want to walk through a parking lot, so valets park or bring their cars to them. It’s up to you and your teammates to move all the cars around.

It’s a simple game but every bit as fun as Moving Out 2. There’s a pick up and drop off area in every level. Wherever you park the cars is up to you, but there’s usually a parking lot.

While you frequently transition between running and driving, it isn’t a racing game. You don’t to be a pro at Mario Kart to enjoy this game. To be sure, there’s drifting and turbo boosts. However, good driving skills aren’t required.

As long as the vehicle gets to the customer in time, that’s all that matters. Smoking engines, damaged fenders, or missing doors are acceptable.

It’s a simple game that captures all the fun of Moving Out 2 and adds to it.

This game has you playing as a construction worker instead of a Furniture Allocation and Relocation Technician (F.A.R.T.). You and your teammates are remodeling rooms this time.

Which mostly involves painting walls or laying down flooring. There’s also some simple landscaping too. Just follow the blueprint and try not to make too many messes.

Paint an entire wall or rip up old flooring with the push of a button. If only it were this easy in the real world. Of course, none of the houses you find yourself exist in real life. Still, I wouldn’t mind incorporating some of the features in our house. Who wouldn’t love a pool wrapping around your house?

Much like Moving Out 2, Tools Up requires a lot of teamwork. Players have to coordinate efforts to avoid wasting time or making mistakes. Every player has to contribute in order to finish the level in time.

For such a mundane concept and appearance, Tools Up is surprisingly engaging and fun. If you enjoy Moving Out 2 then give Tools Up a try!

As an alternative to playing a mover, you can play as an interstellar janitor. Aliens and the goo they spawn from have overrun a spaceship. It’s up to you and your team to clean it up and restore power to every room.

You start with a bucket and a mop. However, there’s a galactic store that delivers many items to assist you in your quest to rid the ship of goo.

Out of Space is unique in that there’s no timer. The game is won when every room has power. Regardless if there’s still goo or aliens around. Take your time or rush through. Either way it’s a struggle.

It gets progressively harder to a point. So there’s pressure to get the job done. Yet, there’s a max occupancy per room. Begin by playing 6 room ships then work up to 12 room ships.

While there’s aliens involved, there’s no actual fighting involved. Technically you stun the aliens with a broom or water. But they don’t attack you. There’s no jumping or attacking.

If you get covered in too much goo then they get cocooned. For solo play it’s game over. Multiplayer mode allows players to be revived.

Cleaning up the goo and aliens keeps everyone busy while occasionally eating and sleeping. Taking and keeping each room clean requires the efforts of everyone playing.

I’m a bit biased since this is one of my favorite games ever. But I think Out of Space is the best alternative to Moving Out 2!

Instead of playing as a mover, Lumberhill has you playing as a lumberjack. These lumbejacks need to fill orders of lumber and herd animals.

Set in different locations, orders come in for for birch trees or prehistoric trees. Herding sheep, pandas, or triceratops is also possible.

Players need to work together in order to fill orders in time. There’s also fires, sharks, cliffs, monkeys, and other hazards to keep you from meeting your goals.

At times this game is especially chaotic. I would say it’s a bit more challenging than Moving Out 2. But if you and your friends are up for it, Lumberhill is a fun game.

In this game players are delivering a birthday present to a party. Apart from moving an object from point A to B, this game isn’t much like Moving Out 2.

I included it since Muddledash is just goofy fun. Which is exactly like Moving Out 2. This game has players falling all over each other trying to deliver the package.

This isn’t a co-op game. Players aren’t working together. It’s like Keepaway or Reverse Tag. Players are doing everything they can to stop each other.

While in concept it sounds like it would lead to animosity. It practice it’s hilarious. Every dash ends at a party, so everyone gets to celebrate.

Muddledash isn’t a co-op but it made my list of games like Moving Out 2 since we laughed while playing either of these games.

Whether it’s a co-op or player vs player, couch games are meant to be played together with friends or family. They’re simple, easy to learn games that anyone can pick up and enjoy.

While similar to party games, party games are short, incredibly basic minigames. Couch games usually have levels or rounds centered around a theme or challenge.

Couch games also differ in other multiplayer games by being local. There are many multiplayer games available online. But online games don’t offer the same experience as being in the same room as everyone playing.

In conclusion, couch games offer a good experience for everyone involved. Whether you’re playing or watching people enjoy themselves.

Moving Out 2 and Overcooked are some of the most popular couch games. Yet, there are many not so well known games like them. This list is a collection of games I’ve found similar to Moving Out 2.
