Second Runner Up: I Expect You to Die
Ever wanted to be an elite secret agent? Wait, what a silly question. Of course you have! I Expect You to Die allows you to be exactly that. You’ll be thrust into deadly situations like bomb defusals in a locked car, daring submarine escapes, and a number of other deadly missions.
I Expect You to Die isn’t just a one and done kind of game, though. Once you’ve made your way through the challenging missions one time, you can head through again and tackle them in an entirely different way. While this all sounds well and good as a traditional gaming experience, it’s the use of VR that brings it all together.
Frantically searching around a car for any item that might be relevant to disarming a bomb, all while the seconds tick away, is far more stressful when you’re sitting right there. You’re the one fumbling items, and you’re the one who’s likely going to explode here. From the excellent Move and Touch controls to the clean visuals and creatively genius levels, I Expect You to Die is one of the most polished VR experiences around.
Unfortunately, the game only has four levels, and while they are fun to repeat, we were still left wanting. There’s always a chance more could come as DLC, but just be aware that as the base game, there’s not much to do once you’ve exhausted these four scenarios.
