Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son

the only thing i've done for an hour is play the guitar while singing, draw a penis and watch my sister crash her car through a wall. i have no idea whats going on but i fucking love it so far. 10/10. The story already has me intrigued, the voice acting is top notch as well. Dont let node teleport turn you away from this game, i find im using roomscale (walking around in real life) a lot more and im totally immersed into this world. Its tequila works, buy the game its gonna be great.

A sequel to one of my favorite movies from the makers of The Invisible Hours? Sign me right up! After only an hour in the game, I must say this is a keeper. Reliving the day over and over does not get tedious, as there's lots to figure out and you'll end up improving each iteration. Some days wish life was like this. There are some small bugs (to be expected immediately after a new release), such as the hand position when using the Index controllers feeling very off and awkward. Wish they would remap to use the knuckles grip instead of the trigger when gripping (I know finger tracking can be hard to implement, but which button does what can't be!). I spent a few minutes trying to get rid of the "Press B to pull up your phone" message, and I don't really know what I did to get past that point (pulling up my phone did not do the trick). Still, some interactions are very refined, such as the guitar mini-game and drawing...your name on paper and such. Tequila Works, I promised myself I w...

An enjoyable romp through the Groundhog Day movie, set in a different time. Solid voice acting, while a bit let down by the bobbleheads, nevertheless carries a reasonably well thought out story that even lets you care for the characters. Playthrough took me a solid five hours, though I did not attempt to divine all the little secrets within. Overall, recommended if you liked the movie. If you haven't seen the movie, watch the movie and then see if you'll like the game. If you haven't seen the movie, the game's story, which relies heavily on the movie, will likely fall flat. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] This is a story-based game, generally in the vein of a Maniac Mansion/Monkey Island/Telltale Games story, but placed on repeat, befitting the Groundhog Day premise. The single day has seven possible scenes, of which you typically explore up to six on any given day, depending on your choices. The primary gameplay mechanic is selecting floating bubbles that determine Phil Jr's general intent of wh...

There are a lot of problems with this game, but it does a few things very well. Movement is teleport via nodes only. In other words, you can only teleport to specific areas, often only to one specific spot. In a "room" or "area" that you visit, you might only be able to teleport between 3 very specific spots, and you may or may not be able to snap turn (although you can look around in any). Teleporting makes the game fade to black and back in again. Every time you teleport. This alone is a deal breaker. The gameplay lets you do a lot of things with the environment, but also seems to unnecessarily (or necessarily for the plot?) restrict you. You can make a smoothie in the blender, but there is no way to pick up the blender or drain the drink from the blender. Instead, you get to listen to day after day of your niece upset about how she can't get a smoothie. The idea of the game is that you're meant to be improving each day, but it's so odd that I'm able to make toast with the toaster...

Controls don't work with Windows Mixed Reality. Only a CFG file is needed to work, but Sony and Tequilla don't bother to write a simple CFG file to add WMR compatibility... I have +100 VR games and all of them run with my Samsung Odyssey Plus. All. And then people say that VR games don't sell... It seems developers don't want to sell games...

You play a very terrible person and everyone you meet is also super mean and terrible.... It's depressing... I don't want to play a game where everyone has mental problems and fighting all the time.... Worst of all you have no option to choose to be even a little bit nice... Your choices make you into a mean person who has no respect for anyone...

Groundhog Day is one of my fav movies, and I liked this game early on. It had a good R-rated sense of humor, and I liked the mechanics of redoing scenarios and learning what needs to be done correctly to proceed. That was until they started with the mini-games. They were tolerable but pretty terrible. What sealed it for me as a do not recommend was the graffiti mini-game. It requires precision and is very monotonous, and the game makes you do it three separate times. Each time is multiple artworks as well. It's so bad that it made me angry. It ruined the game for me, so I say don't bother bc of that alone. I kept playing and got to more annoying mini-games that I had to attempt repeatedly to further cement my dislike of this game. To its credit, it is like you're Phil Conners, having to try over and over and over again to proceed, but it isn't fun.

If you want to see what is likeable about the game, please look at the other reviews. At the time of writing this they are 100% positive, so I don't see the point in repeating what has been repeatedly said by them. The character you are playing is not a very likeable person. [list] [*] Everything he says is snarky or outright insulting, this may change the further you progress in the story. But only having douchey dialog options is frustrating to me. [*] Even if you have gone through a scene and have figured out that you are supposed to calm a person down, the only dialog options you are presented with are ones that will further escalate the situation. [/list] Interacting with the environment. [list] [*] The physics are glitchy. [*] Objects get stuck inside each other and can become inseparable. You have to reset if this happens to important objects. [*] Containers for liquids can "run out", so if an important container is flung across the room due to a physics glitch. You might hav...

So far it is obvious this game has good production value for a VR game. It is fairly polished especially when it comes to graphics. So far I'm finding it fun and looking forward to really digging into the puzzles some more. The only real negative of this game is the terrible attitude of most of the people you meet, not to mention the main character. It doesn't bother me much, but if noisy family yelling and fighting bother you, don't pick up this game. If you want a good VR experience from a reputable VR dev this game is for you. In some ways it reminds me a bit of The Invisible Hours from the same dev so if you enjoyed that like I did give this one a serious look. 6 hours in: Haven't quite beat the game yet. It is a very touching story. Strongly recommend for a pretty chill experience. Some of the mini games can be tough but they are still pretty fun. Great game.

if you love the movie and have vr headset THEN GET THIS
