Critic Reviews for I Expect You To Die
I Expect You to Die captures the tension, revelations, and exhilaration of a last-second escape in virtual reality.
Putting you into cunning espionage themed escape rooms, I Expect You To Die is a fun VR puzzler with a charming sense of humour and dozens of ways to die. Sadly, there’s only a handful missions to take on, making this yet another VR game that’s over before it’s had a chance to really get started.
It can be hard to find a good entry point for virtual reality gaming when some titles are quite complex and others feel like the VR component is unnecessary.
I Expect You To Die isn’t just stirring up the field of virtual reality. Like a Bond martini, it’s thoroughly shaken.
More than just a ‘locked in a room’ simulator, I Expect You To Die! Is a masterful use of VR and the Move controllers. The puzzles are just challenging enough to be fun, while not so easy as to be obvious. My only complaint is that the game is relatively short, but the promise of a sequel has me ready to hand over my money. You need this game in your VR library.
I Expect You to Die provides everything I want in VR room escape type of game. Objects are easy to manipulate, the puzzles don't require great leaps of non-intuitive logic to solve, and the experience itself is quite entertaining. It can look spendy at full price, but it's on Steam so it' just a matter of waiting for a sale.
I Expect You to Die is able to keep the player engaged throughout and further drills home the point that simplicity in VR is the way to go.
One of the best puzzle games of 2016. Addictive, fun and clever.
