I'm not interested in VR, but videogames industry needs to get into the time loop genre already.
Time loop as genre existed long before Groundhog Day. As a concept it doesn't really work in form of a book, but as comics and filmed material it can be the peak of the art (in quite a few examples, sadly, it was abused and turned into nonsensical junk).
Anyway, a few nonVR time loop games are expected to be released soon.
I have no idea how those will actually work (it'd be bad if you can pull out of a repeated time interval by sheer luck and "fastrun" the game, on the other hand if each instance you have to close only in one way then it gets linear and breaks the idea of doing things every time differently). Can't wait to see one myself.

Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son is a competent VR sequel to the beloved movie
