Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son

[h1]Love it, such a charming and endearing game and story[/h1] At first you'll hate it, you're such an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about everything and everyone but just like the movie everything starts to change until you just start to aim for that one perfect day. There's really no shortage of nice things I can say about the story, it's such a heartwarming tale that you really just need to experience it. Especially if you have, or will have, a family of your own. For the gameplay, you move by teleportation to certain spots. I played with Index Knuckles which are supported but holding things can be janky as the positioning you hold them by default can be an issue. You can't skip dialogues till later so some you will hear often and they can be somewhat long. The minigames fit the game and they're fun and varied. I did have issues with a couple of them though, the first is the spray paint game, I have 4 base stations to help prevent issues in my play area but the can would randomly jump yet basically guaranteed every attempt and ruined most attempts at clearing it. The second is one other mention, the dance minigame. You have to just play until you get a feel for how you make, at least enough, motions to clear it. I found that doing the motion then shaking my hands seemed to help on some of them. Make sure you use big motions as it detects them better than. Definitely a must-play game for VR players and a staple for your library!

I've played this game using Oculus Quest 2 over Virtual Desktop. As a fan of the movie, I would recommend this game to other fans. It follows a similar plotline as the film, where you have to repeat the same day over and over again until you get it just right. Fortunately, as the days go on, you receive critical hints on how to do better the next day. The game itself is ok, you progress mostly by completing minigames which can be a bit hit or miss. Think Job Simulator with a Punxsutawney twist. If you haven't seen the movie, I'd you recommend you go watch it first. If you liked it, then get this game. If not, I would give it a miss.

Great game in spirit of old adventure games like Lucas Arts series/Siera/Grim Fandango. The game is witty, wholesome, and minigames are cool.

I accidentally left the game open for 18 hours

It's a very well-made and entertaining game but the controls are genuinely ATROCIOUS, I spent my first 10 minutes in the game trying to turn off snap turning (which I never managed to do), and then I had to manually create my own custom control bindings to actually allow me to grab objects with the grip. If you can stomach floating hands that are half a metre away from your actual hands, give it a go, you'll love it, but if you can't then this will be a very frustrating game.

Virtual reality is amazing for storytelling, and yet this game starts by forcing you to read Instagram posts floating in the air.
