‘I Expect You to Die’ is One of Virtual Reality’s Best Games Yet

ieytd_screenshot_ss_2016_08_26_11_04_16I Expect You to Die, currently only available for Oculus and PlayStation VR, has players fumbling around as a secret agent in a variety of scenarios designed to quickly kill you. Dying is part of the fun, though; poking around the puzzle rooms and figuring out what you can pull off what makes I Expect You to Die so charming. "Oh, maybe I should think about what chemicals I'm mixing together next time," you might say, as a canister full of explosive gas suddenly blows up in front of you.

But a fancy controller doesn't mean very much without meaningful interactions, and that's where I Expect You to Die's deployment of smart, funny puzzles inspired by old spy films come into play.

Hopefully, games like I Expect You to Die are a sign of things to come, as developers create new verbs in VR.
