One Move Away

I received this game through Keymailer and I am so thankful. I had a lot of fun playing One Move Away on stream. I really love puzzles games and this definitely scratches that itch. The only issue I had with it was sometimes the movement felt a little clunky, but other than that it was a lot of fun.

If you think this is a "Cozy Game" you are sorely mistaken. Although there are no time limits, no wrong answers, it can be extremely frustrating if you're shooting to get all of the achievements. This game is incredibly interactive, challenging, and visually pleasing. And I am so grateful you can now toggle the "bumpy road" mechanic, or else it would've been too frustrating to play. Gaining all of the achievements is a serious challenge, which I like. I did have to walk away and come back to this game a few times because of how frustrating it was. But I couldn't recommend the game more!!! If you like a challenge, like interactive objects, and enjoy organizing, then this is for you! And it worked great on my Steamdeck! Solid 10/10!!!! ------------------ Helpful tip for Ahmed 1999 Optimizer Achievement: This is arguably the hardest achievement to get due to how the achievement's guidelines is worded. Using the grid helps a lot with this. What is considered "going off the sides" is going past the grid outline. To get this achievement, you CAN go off the FRONT and BACK of the trailer and past the grid (The front and back being the shorter width sides of the trailer). You can use the sides as well just NOT PAST THE GRID'S OUTLINE. And of course, not going past the roof of the van in height. Hopefully that's helpful to anyone struggling!

I think the mechanics could use a *touch* of work. Mostly I think people could benefit from a jump button and/or and in-between state from standing to crouching, just to make navigation a little easier during larger, more challenging levels. That being said, One Move Away is a very relaxing but challenging game that is so satisfying to beat! You'll think you're killin' a level with ease, and then lo and behold a massive dresser you forgot to account for in the moving truck. Things might seem impossible, but after restarting and trying a different approach, suddenly everything fits seamlessly with no trouble at all! I highly recommend this game, but go into it expecting a challenging puzzle, NOT a cozy copy/paste of "Unpacking".

J'avais déjà accroché avec la démo et j'ai acheté le jeu dès sa sortie. J'ai adoré du début à la fin. J'ai passé trop de temps sur le dernier succès, Optimisation, mais quelle satisfaction d'avoir réussi à le valider !

Though not as visually appealing or classic as Unpacking (sorry for the obvious comparisons, devs), One Move Away stands quite tall on its own thanks to a fun twist on the "jenga of life" gameplay, the constant pleasant tickle of figuring out an optimal packing strategy, a few interesting stories told solely through objects, and a remarkably smooth technical performance. I don't think I encountered a single actual "bug" in my entire playtime, and for a physics-driven game like this that feels impressive and important when the perfect packing job can quickly go south. The physics themselves are fun to play with (stick chair legs between the trailer wall and a box! Who cares if it's sticking out two feet into traffic! Not this game!) and the reverse time mechanic is great for quickly erasing mistakes without being a get-out-of-jail-free card. Overall, heartily recommended and thanks to the devs for a great game.

Le jeu est plutôt sympa dans l'ensemble, malheureusement j'ai dû arrêter de jouer car il m'a donné la nausée, je ne suis pas super sensible sur les jeux habituellement mais au fur et à mesure que je jouais, j'ai été victime de cinetose. Et cela venait vraiment du jeu car une fois fermé, tout est revenu à la normale ! Donc petit warning si vous êtes sensible à ce genre de chose !

To be honest, I didn't expect to like this game as much as I do. After all, how much "fun" is it to pack things away? Turns out, it's a lot of fun. The objects used make for a puzzling experience, and the (somewhat) janky physics add an extra challenge. The levels of difficulty also provide for a scaled experience based on your commitment to shoving as much stuff as you can into a limited space. I don't know how, but there's always this feeling of "never going to happen" at the beginning of each level until you of course make it happen. There's also a bit of humor and wonderful world building as you examine what each character considers important enough to move and take with them. (Some of these items I found hilariously questionable.) The character arcs end up interacting with each other in a delightful way, meaning your choices in packing may come back to haunt you. Those of you dedicated enough to playing this sort of "fancy tetris" will find more challenges in the achievements, expanding the notion of how you tackle each scenario. I hope the developers come out with more in the future. Bottom line, this game is surprisingly engaging and had me hooked for hours the first time I played it. If however, you have the patience of an angry sunburned dad on a Disney vacation, I recommend a different game. Either way, good luck. 7/10
