Go Vacation Reviews
Go Vacation presents a world full of games and activities that feel consistently average, with common flaws across the board making each game similarly dull, tiresome, and not worth the asking price. The game's setting itself provides a welcome break from this, though, with an impressive amount of things to see and do at your own leisure injecting a much-needed dose of fun into the proceedings. Strangely, this is a multiplayer sports game that probably suits those looking for decent single-player exploration the most.
Go Vacation promises a world of fun and opportunity. It delivers the latter in spades, but not so much the former.
A fun game to play with other that looks and feels too old but it's still interesting.

As the original game for Wii (released seven years ago), Go Vacation is an interesting minigame collection to enjoy with friends or family, although there is not much improvement in Switch version and free roaming is boring.

Whether you play by yourself, with friends or family, Go Vacation is a complete game that will satisfy all kinds of players. It may be a port of a Wii game with better resolution, but this should not discourage players longing for a game that provides a whole array of minigames.

A nice a game, clearly aimed at younger kids and those looking for a "casual" and fun gaming experience with friends

Go Vacation has several problems, too many to interest veteran players. That said, it could be a highly recommended purchase if you have little brothers or small children at home, eager to get their hands on your switch.

Go Vacation is an incredibly basic game, in addition to being a seven year old port. But somehow, despite my initial inklings that this was a shovelware game, I actually found myself really enjoying it. I always admire local multiplayer experiences, and I was looking for one more on Nintendo Switch, and Go Vacation has somehow filled the gap. It won't keep multiplayer parties going on all night long, but it'll certainly get pulled out whenever I have four players to keep entertained.
With a visual outlook that looks clearly dated, Go Vacation further adds to the feeling that its main goal is quantity, not quality, and the game aims to achieve this despite its own exploration options.

Go Vacation was an average sports game on Wii, and it's quite the same today on Switch.

Go Vacation is a particularly fun game that's designed for almost everyone: single players will relish the exploration and collecting aspects; groups will have fun discovering minigames. The massive open-world nature and daily incentives provide even more to do, making this a game that encourages repeat plays. Go Vacation is definitely worth adding to your Switch collection.
Go Vacation is a decent party game, held back by the emptiness of its main setting and the lack of a true standout amongst its minigames.

Go Vacation doesn’t do the best job of trying to appeal to everyone, but party game fans might find enough enjoyment to hold them off until Super Mario Party arrives later this year. While the staggering amount of things to do may be appreciated by some, it’s another example that demonstrates how quantity shouldn’t always be a priority over quality.
Go Vacation is a good reminder of how quantity doesn't always mean quality. There are a lot of mini-games available to play here, but not all of them offer a memorable experience. Motion controls implementation is also disappointing but the multiplayer is still fun if you can play it with friends.
Sadly, they have done little to fix the complaints of the activity unlocking process. It is a damaging factor on the experience as a whole, something that Bandai Namco really should've fixed. If you are in need of a true multiplayer journey, you can do a lot worse than this fine package.
Go Vacation is a medley of summer activities - whether it's tearing up the sand in an ATV or trying to get a horse to ascend a castle and desperately leap over a river, because you can.
GO Vacation for the Nintendo Switch is very easy to understand and even easier to learn, as you usually only need a few buttons to complete an activity. The camera can't be moved freely, which limited us a lot. This is especially noticeable when taking screenshots. All activities are too easy for experienced gamers, but not boring. Solo gets boring after a certain time, because the processes are always repeating themselves. Go there, play the game, get the stamp or look for the treasure. The focus here is certainly on the multiplayer component, which then provides for party on the sofa. The controls are sometimes a bit sluggish, the collision detection with NPCs is quite nonsensical and the feedback of the different vehicles is not available. So a skateboard doesn't really feel any different than a racing car. Clear purchase recommendation for evenings with family or friends, for single players rather conditionally recommendable.

Go Vacation is sure to provide a somewhat unanticipated deep and good single-player experience. Plus, for younger kids or casual gaming with friends this will be a slightly-dated and simple, but ultimately fun party option to have in your collection.
On the paper Go Vacation sounds like a well made minigame-compilation, but in reality too many fillergames, issues with the clunky controls, loveless made HD enhancements and quite disturbing sound effects let the game move toward below average. Fans of the genre should look after other altiernatives, because in this title you will find more joy in work than in vacation.
