    This is currently my favourite single player VR experience. Everything is interactive as you solve James Bond/Macguyver like puzzles. The humour is the unsung hero of the game that really makes the game a lot of fun. It's also fun seeing other people try to solve puzzles as they will do things you didn't even think of. The only reason it's not a 10 is because there are only so many levels.This is currently my favourite single player VR experience.

    Great use of VR. Cool escape room puzzles. Put on the head set and enjoy. Also giving this a 10 to balance the score. This is one of the best PSVR games.

    The game is really fantastic. The environment is very immersive, and the puzzles are very clever. My only complaint is that the game is very short (beat it in just under 3 hours), so hopefully some DLC will come in the future. Overall a great experience!

    A must have game for VR! It's an "escape the room" game with a 007 theme. Very fun game, polished, and excellent use of VR and the motion controls. Unfortunately the game is rather short.

    The gameplay here is fantastic. it has a very well balanced light-hearted and funny but serious enough to to be challenging feel to it. I loved the 1950s-60s, spy/007 theme to it.

I loved the 1950s-60s, spy/007 theme to it. I found it to be very delightfully clever in the way that it makes you think and try different things in order to solve these puzzles. You wont be stumped for long periods of time trying to solve these puzzles but they are cleverly and enjoyably challenging. I think that is where the main charm and appeal and value are here. 3 out of 4 of the puzzles are very well designed and, for the most part, very well balanced. The one that I didn't love wasn't bad, it was just too easy which made it not as much fun as the other 3. I also loved the way that so many of the items you can interact with have multiple purposes/uses. Overall, the design was just good, and well done.

    The reason that I gave this game 8/10 is for the following reasons: it started at 10/10 because I had so much fun in 3 of the 4 puzzles. In those moments, I was having a 10/10 level of fun. It was a blast when it worked. I subtracted a point because it is so short. Of course, when a game is $25 you don't expect hours and hours of gameplay and in my opinion, quality always trumps quantity, but I have to consider value for $. And I think this should have been a $19.99 game. $24.99 is a little high considering the amount of content and how long it will take you to complete. I thought that 4 puzzles (which you can easily get through in 60-90 minutes (assuming its your first time playing them - more like 30 mins if you've already played and figured the puzzles out). When you consider that games of similar quality and length, such as Batman Arkham VR, are priced at $19.99 this seems a little overpriced. It lost a second point because that 4th puzzle, which accounts for %25 of the entire game, was not nearly as much fun or as challenging and memorable as the other 3. If I were to base my opinion on the first 3 puzzles and the game was $14.99 for those 3 puzzles, I would probably give this 10/10. The first 3 puzzles are easily worth $4.99 each.

    Regardless, I would absolutely, absolutely recommend this game to any PSVR owners. It's probably awesome on Oculus too but I can't say for sure. In my opinion, the flagship PSVR game still is Resident Evil 7, but if you don't like scary games like that or maybe you've just played RE7 to death like me, you definitely want to get this game. It's great, and I really hope to see it sell well enough to warrant an expansion or sequel.    … Expand

    I expect you to die is a very enjoyable escape the room game and one of the best experiences I've had in VR.

    Everything I wanted out of a VR game. This game is fun. The controls are perfect. The mechanics are great. And it's a whole lot of fun. Again, as with all PSVR Games right now, a little too short, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

    Epic con. £20 for 4 levels, really???
    Level 3 is so bad designed you can't finish it unless you are lucky. The rotary for the code is so lame I wonder how those people made it to the industry. Spend your monies on something that has developers that deserve it.

    Great concept let down by repetitiveness.

    Fantastic experience with great hand-controller-interactivity. It's like Job Simulator with a more interesting theme.

    Lots of fun messing around with the environments and puzzles and seeing what everything does and how they interact.

    This game is very well done and is probably the best VR puzzle game so far. It definitely injects a fair amount of humor into the different situations and the graphics are good. It isn't the longest game in the world with only 4 levels but I prefer short with high quality to the reverse.

    2 points for only Bond related and humor. The interface is terrible. The game is short. It consists of a few scenes; you would be able to finish it in 2h top, but... there's a catch, cause if you **** up the scene you must start it from the beginning. And you can **** it up in many ways. Often game gives you just few seconds for taking and executing your action, cause you know; you are2 points for only Bond related and humor.

    i Expect You to Die is a VR puzzle game with a fun sense of humor. This game is another great use of VR and would be great for first time players. The biggest problem this game has is the short length.

    My second favorate VR game of all time (#1 is Boneworks) is a spy esape room. It feels clever, the interactions are fun and creative, and I love the ideas. My only real problem is that even with the free DLCs the game is still really short.

    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.
