    I Expect You To Die 2 delivers on its promise of a captivating, funny, and witty escape room puzzler. It’s challenging enough without being frustrating and it rewards experimentation. The only downsides are that it’s over too soon and the replayability just isn’t there.

    For all the similarities, I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar exceeds its predecessor in terms of tone. The first title was a cheeky game with a biting wit to match its great puzzles, but this sequel really outdoes itself, crafting even more ludicrously operatic scenarios all the while seamlessly integrating the humor into the gameplay experience. If you don’t have the patience or interest to sit through overlong monologues or sequences with a slow burn, you can just rush past them and the game adapts with you, but not before letting out a few extra jokes for good measure.

    A series of darkly comic spy-themed VR escape rooms that revel in their ability to kill you in inventive and unexpected ways.

    Death means restarting a mission from scratch. That’s understandable – there are only six, and each probably averages about five minutes played flawlessly – but it can sometimes be frustrating. Once you’ve seen the credits, speedruns and missed collectibles tempt you back. If that’s not your thing, there are optional interactions and alternate solutions to explore; but you’ll have more or less seen everything there is. Great spy-flavoured fun while it lasts, though, and don’t forget your headset – it’s VR eyes only. [Issue#6, p.90]
