I Expect You To Die 2 Review

I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar is a brilliant sequel that successfully ups the ante with even more over-the-top, lethal traps, and ingenious escape-room puzzles. You're once again playing the role of a secret agent, tasked with going undercover to foil a new, global threat, and it’s immediately obvious that your employers have absolutely no faith in your ability to survive the mission. It’s a fun, high-stakes game that constantly puts you in the line of fire.

The game keeps the perfect 1960s spy aesthetic and dry, sarcastic humor that made the first one so memorable. Each level is a self-contained, high-stakes scenario where you’re surrounded by deathtraps and hidden devices, and it’s up to your wit, experimentation, and steady hands to figure out the solution before you're blown to bits. The puzzles are clever, requiring you to think outside the box—and often inside the box, too.

Failure is explicitly part of the job description, and the game embraces this with a sense of humor. When you mess up—and you *will* mess up—the way you die is usually so over-the-top that you can't help but laugh and immediately restart. It’s a game that encourages experimentation, rewarding you for trying to poke, prod, and pull every lever in the room, even if it usually leads to your spectacular demise.

It’s a consistently entertaining, challenging, and wonderfully creative VR title. Whether you’re defusing a bomb, hacking a terminal, or just trying to survive a poison gas attack, I Expect You To Die 2 is a masterclass in VR puzzle design. It’s smart, it’s funny, and it perfectly captures the high-stakes, absurd, and often deadly world of secret-agent espionage.
