Moving Out - The Employees of the Month Pack

My Saturday night co-op group has logged an embarrassing number of hours hurling sofas out of windows in Moving Out, so when the Employees of the Month Pack landed alongside the base game at launch, we grabbed it without hesitation. What you're getting here is purely cosmetic and roster-expanding. No new levels, no new mechanics, no new maps. Just four brand-new playable characters added to your mover lineup in Packmore. If you were expecting content in the vein of the Movers in Paradise expansion, pump the brakes: this one is strictly a character pack. The four new hires are Professor Inkle (an octopus with eight limbs and maximum visual chaos during ragdoll moments), Bruce (cuddly, compact, and weirdly effective at threading through tight doorframes), Sprinkles (a donut whose movement animations drew more laughs from our group than half the actual level designs), and Dials (a robot receptionist who looks absolutely miserable about being here, which felt relatable). None of the characters change underlying gameplay mechanics. Moving Out's physics engine does all the heavy lifting. What changes is who you're watching stumble, ragdoll, and slam into a fireplace at high speed. In a game where half the comedy is visual, character variety matters more than it sounds. The base game's co-op setup is genuinely one of the friendliest in the genre. Shared split-screen works cleanly, Remote Play Together means you can rope in friends online without them owning the game, and the Assist Mode lets you dial back time limits, lighten objects, or remove obstacles so that younger or less experienced players can keep up without frustration. Full controller support is solid, and if you have four people crammed onto a couch, the game holds up with barely a complaint. The Employees of the Month Pack feeds directly into all of that. More characters in the roster means more options when four friends are arguing about who gets to be the octopus. The honest caveat: this is a thin DLC. There is no getting around the fact that it adds zero gameplay content. If Moving Out were a weaker base game, this would be a skip. But because the base game earns its Very Positive Steam rating and its Metacritic score of 79, the added personality genuinely refreshes sessions you've already played multiple times. When you're replaying a level for the third time trying to box-stack a refrigerator through a haunted window, having a new character silently screaming through the chaos adds a layer of silliness that keeps the vibe alive. Who should grab it: anyone who plays Moving Out regularly with a recurring group and wants more personality in the mover roster. Anyone buying Moving Out for the first time should look at whether a bundle including this pack is available. Who should skip it: solo players, people who haven't tried the base game yet, and anyone hoping for new levels.
