"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 …"
Read original review"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 …"
Read original review"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 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."
