Games don't half seem to be inspired by Groundhog Day at the moment.

It makes sense for the medium really, since a lot of games are about repeating challenges and learning from them until you get better. And there has certainly been a more noticeable trend for time loops recently, from this year’s PS5 blockbuster Returnal to upcoming assassination shooter Deathloop, while another Annapurna Interactive-published game Outer Wilds repeats a solar system’s final 22 minutes until its destruction.
