I won't have any more hours on this game because at this point the game is just meant to frustrate you. This type of game, packing things, is meant for someone like me. But they've ruined it with dumb mechanics that aren't fun and aggravating levels that also aren't fun. The bumpy ride is terrible. I don't know who on the team thought it was a good idea, or why it was implemented as a necessary part of the game. As …

WILD MOTION SICKNESS This is informational - especially since there's no demo - because buyers should be aware that this game seems abnormally motion sickness inducing. I play plenty of First Person games with no issue, but this game gives me ridiculous motion sickness unlike I've ever experienced. Just turning feels like something scraping the inside of my skull. FOV increase wasn't enough. It needs options to …

Hello. I usually come from a background of Counter Strike, War Thunder, and League of Legends. All of these games make me angry and unhappy. I wanted to turn a new leaf and be a more Chill gamer. So this was my first purchase in this type of genre. This game is very peaceful and has been a joy! BUT this game made me very calm and the subtle story line to each level is very cute and tugs at the heart strings. So far …

It's a bummer that this game has mixed reviews, because I really liked it. Most of the negative reviews reference the "bumpy ride" mechanic which, honestly, probably would have been a deal-breaker for me, too, if it hadn't been fixed shortly after launch. The game now tells you at the outset if there's a bumpy ride lying in wait for you at the end of the level, and lets you disable it without any penalties to your …

One Move Away is just fine, and that's really it. This is one of those games where I wish Steam had an option between a Yes or No. Overall, I wouldn’t call One Move Away a must-play, and I don’t think it’ll be cozy enough for everyone. But for me, it hit the right level of brain-dead, mindless gameplay that I needed after long days of real-life work. It can be frustrating and janky at times, but when it works, it’s …

60 of 98 · most liked firstI was especially excited for this release ever since playing an earlier preview/demo a couple months back. That demo scored in every remark, a relaxed but challenging puzzle of fitting many different items into a limited amount of space, scaling to a point that you fill entire moving trucks where each placement drastically affects your available options. Sadly however this full release isn't delivering, and has unfortunately made the game more complicated in ways that aren't properly…

neutral · AI labelView post →Packing and making things fit while moving is one of my favourite things in the world and I was so excited about this game because of it But omg I can't with these controls and weird POV The puzzles seem super fun and I love the extra challenges but I get so frustrated with the mechanics I wish I could play and enjoy it more
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is seemingly about packing a bunch of belongings into a tight space, usually a vehicle. It's fun! But then they randomly introduce the "survive the bumpy ride" mechanic. Ok, whatever. Except this mechanic doesn't really work well. On the Cam 2005 level (about mid way through the game), things "fall off" the truck.. except they are actually falling out of the second vehicle: a completely closed in van. I spent over an hour of the playtime trying to work around the issue but stuff…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The dark souls of an organization game. If you don't go into this expecting a "cozy" unpacking/packing game and more of a challenge, then this is perfect for you. While for the most part I am really enjoying it, the objects are so finnicky to place sometimes it gets frustrating putting them in where I want. Whether that's intentional or not I don't know lol. Just be aware this game will definitely frustrate you but is also addicting because you need to beat it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Such a cozy game filled with plenty of levels and many hours of fun! I played the demo multiple times over and the full game certainly did not disappoint. They also included satisfying noises when something fits and added so many little optional challenges to spice it up! There are a few things that definitely need to be changed, for eg. the games field of view starts incredibly low (made me really motion sick), some of the levels are incredibly annoying if you're trying to 100% it and…

Though it isn't as visually appealing as Unpacking, it's got all the right puzzle and storytelling chops. Just in reverse. Pictured below: TRUST THE PROCESS.
positive · AI labelView post →I'll be super honest here. I liked the first few levels, but this game is the PRIMAL opposite of relaxing lol. This game makes me violently angry. xD Worse than golf! It's almost impossible to make things fit. I like a challenge, trust me. I do. But holy... this is frustrating and kinda ruins the fun of it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have tried this game a few times over the past couple of days since buying it, but I've been having horrrriiiible motion sickness. I'm currently sick with shingles and thought this would be an awesome cozy game to play while I recover, so initially, I put the brutal nausea down to my illness, but as I've persevered, I've realised it's actually the game causing it. I haven't had this happen with other first person games. I have increased FOV to try to help but that's made no improvement to…

neutral · AI labelView post →I was hoping for a more relaxing, ocd-satisfying experience, like a reverse Unpacking, but as other reviewers have said: the optional objects and objectives are very counter-intuitive and frustrating, really ruining the experience. while they are optional and best ignored, as a completionist I find it very hard to ignore them. Luckily they resolved this issue with the bumpy ride mechanic, but even still, I don't think this game is for me.

neutral · AI labelView post →Was genuinely surprised to see this game has mixed reviews - I've been having a great time, challenge included! The game is incredibly forgiving along with the challenge - you have a single button press to undo or redo moves you make (as many times as you want), can manipulate items precisely, and regarding the apparently dreaded moving minigame for one level (which I found charming and honestly loved the ingenuity of): the game immediately resets you to where you had completed the challenge,…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this, but unfortunately the physics jank in a game like this just becomes tiring and frustrating. The game is NOT bad, but I can't recommend it because that "satisfying" part that comes with organizational games is just not satisfying.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cute game. The story doesn't give many details but you're able to infer what's going on. I was dreading the bumpy road setting as many players hated it, but it wasn't that bad for me. I'm not sure if it was adjusted or it is just less bumpy in Sylvie's story. Had to stop playing because the motion sickness was crazy. This was my first packing game and I definitely recommend it.

Be aware that this game is both relaxing AND challenging!! You will need to think ahead and plan and be smart in order to optimize your packing. Has a lot of content, and some quality achievements to boot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've really tried to like this game, but it's just very frustrating. And not in how complicated the puzzles are, that's the whole point of the game and i'm fine with that. But the mechanics, the janky physics, the weird controls, the fact that EVERYTHING FEELS STICKY. The way this game has been coded requires more patience than i have.
