(This is part of a series of retrospective reviews of some of the titles I explored almost a month ago during Party Game weekend... I'm still doing independent play and research on a few so I'll be spacing out these reviews to avoid flooding.)
Unfortunately, I don't think that Move or Die is one of the party games that gelled with my friends and I. The gimmick behind Move or Die is to engage in a series of random "last one standing" scenarios via 2D platforming that usually throw a bunch of hazards in your way (i.e. what I refer to as "monkey in the cage" platforming); the game heavily discourages camping as a viable option by making you take damage if you stand still or just jump in place. However, you can easily bypass this mechanism by dash dancing in place, which the game will still recognize as movement and more or less serves the same function as camping. As a result, not only do I think the gimmick is somewhat worn out and obsolete, but I also think the game gets stale pretty quickly as many of these last man standing scenarios feel very similar to one another. Port quality issues that popped up when double controller input glitches occurred on my Twitch Prime copy also did not help the overall experience. If you're looking for a more chaotic quick session arena party game, I'd definitely suggest Duck Game or Stick Fight: The Game over this.
