"Groundhog Day Like Father Like is an entertaining follow-up to Bill Murray&s;s classic movie, que replica los aciertos de la película de manera jugable. No es especialmente largo ni innovador en lo jugable, pero si te gusta la película y …"

"If you&s;ve ever wanted to get stuck again in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, virtual reality has you covered. Like Father Like Son, is a cartoony sequel to the 1993 film, and it does its best to recapture the love and lunacy that …"

"Unlike its protagonist, Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son shows little interest in forging its own identity. If you’re craving a return to Punxsutawney, rewatching the movie is a far more rewarding choice."

"Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son is primarily a superb adventure game occasionally stymied by overly finicky – and at times outright broken – minigames. At most times a stellar lighthearted VR romp with some grand heartfelt moments, Groundhog Day&s;s …"

"Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son is the game sequel to the rom-com classic. While janky and lacking star power, it&s;s still an appealing experiment."

"No one expected a Groundhog Day sequel, but in the experimental wild west of virtual reality, we got one anyway. Thankfully, the brilliant Tequila Works is behind the project and they infuse it with a tone that denotes the team’s …"

"It’s not so much that Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son is a totally bad game — it isn’t. It’s just really disappointing that it wasn’t a lot better."

"Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son delivers a fun, immersive, and interactive unorthodox sequel to the hit 1993 movie. The number of choices and pathways you can choose from is beyond anything I’ve seen in VR so far, requiring you …"

"For a video game based on a movie – and a VR one no less – Groundhog Day: Like Father, Like Son should do enough to please fans, even if its neat concept feels a little under-developed in places."

"At the end of the day, this is a neat experiment that fans of the film will enjoy, but overall it fails to measure up to the source material."
