What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar is a confident and polished continuation of Schell Games’ distinctive approach to virtual reality puzzle design, refining the original formula while leaning harder into narrative, spectacle, and character-driven humor.
It was even better than the first game with some really neat new features and more story progression.
Audio design plays a crucial role as well, with strong voice acting, dramatic musical cues, and reactive sound effects that heighten both tension and comedy.
The intro is better, the visuals are better, the story is better, the puzzles are more fun, the environments are more interesting, the puzzles are more consistent, and somehow it takes up even less space than the first game.
