Some reviewers note the game is short for its price and recommend buying on sale. [1][2] A few players criticize the lack of subtitles, which they call discriminatory to deaf players. [3]

We all have enjoy play on first game but on this second game have no subtitle which is unhelp, lot of deaf and hard of hearing people to use it and gameplay which is helpful to understand without background noise or who talk to, now what this have nothing for many year.

The Spy and the Liar is a worthy successor for I Expect You to Die. The game is filled with hilarious fun situations and details for those that are willing to do some poking and prodding. I found the sequel to be slightly more tricky in solving all of the puzzles, while being just as enjoyable and entertaining as the first. The familiar theme, from introduction to final scene, is a brilliant play to our favorite …

In my opinion this is currently the best game of the I Expect You To Die franchise. It has like the others a chef kiss presentation and an great level design. But what makes it way more entertaining than the others, is the better gameplay. Instead of doing a trial and error like in the first game, you have more freedom to test things, without getting you killed. You can still die but this time its more fair. Also it …

More of the same from the first game. The game is quite short for asking price, so pick it up on a sale. There's some replay value here with per-mission challenges and a speedrun challenge, but that kind of thing is not for me. The puzzles are not that difficult, I'd say they are easier or the same as the first game. There was one step that had me stumped for a while (where you had to bug the mask, you gotta cut the …

Don't worry guys, there's even more dying in this one! It's very clear to me that the devs still had tons of ideas they wanted to explore after the first game as every chapter in this sequel is super unique and they all twist in fun directions. The feel of a spy movie is even stronger here and the music is incredible. The mechanical side of how objects look, feel, and are interacted with has thankfully improved …

Critics, per Wikipedia
I Expect You to Die 2: The Spy and the Liar was generally well-received by critics, with both the PC and PS4 versions garnering "generally favorable reviews" according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Critics generally found the game to be enjoyable, but criticized its short playtime and lack of replayability. IGN gave the game an 8/10, saying "I Expect You To Die 2’s constant callbacks to spy classics like 007 and Mission Impossible are comfortable and familiar, but then you quickly realize this sequel to Schell Games’ fabulous escape room puzzler introduces plenty of unique tricks of its own."

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game doesn't even compare to the first one: its's shorter for the same price, the puzzle seem easier and for a game where a third of the achievements are for speedruns, the controls are incredibly bad when moving quickly.

neutral · AI labelView post →I got this for ~$20, which I paid gladly because I enjoyed the first I Expect you to Die so much. I wasn't disappointed. IEYTD 2 is also fantastic. The $ per hour is more than I usually like to pay, but the game is so good, the production is SO good - its completely worth it. These have been two of the best vr titles I played. I already bought IEYTD 3. Thats the best review I could possibly give, no?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Killer sequel and great game. The story is great, the voice acting is amazing, all the people you see in game being silhouettes is a super charming design choice, and the missions are the most consistently fun in the whole series thus far. Very good game, 100% worth grabbing.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is one of the best (seated) VR experiences available on Steam, but this sequel doesn't hold a candle to the first one. There is much more trial-and-error to the puzzles here, which can be frustrating, especially because you have to restart a level from the beginning if you make a mistake. The levels are quite short, but enjoyable enough to earn a recommendation, but I hope that Schell learned a lot from this one and steps up their game in the sequel.

positive · AI labelView post →Just like the first game, I Expect You To Die 2 is a beautiful, fun VR title that is a bit of a brain teaser. There’s no movement to your character. You’re put into a static scene, and expected to complete a level while essentially standing still. So if you don’t have your “VR Legs” yet, this will be great for you! If you never played the original game, I would describe it as an escape room game. Not so much in the sense that you need to escape a room, per se, but you have to solve similar…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Expect You to Die 2 lacks the charm of the first game, yet it does not disappoint (too much). The I Expect You To Die series is possibly one of the best seated VR experiences available, though there are a lot more great options now than there were when the first IEYTD came out. ( is still my absolute favorite VR game.) This game feels like it attempted to ride on the success of the first. Rather than make more fantastic levels, this one just provides a decent puzzle experience. I enjoyed the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Counterpoint: I am a chicken. I somehow managed to get jumpscared in 'I Expect You to Die 2' (it wasn't even supposed to be a jumpscare).
neutral · AI labelView post →Definitely one of the coolest games. On each mission you sit on a chair and solve some enigmas. The game is made really nicely and the humor is prety good. You don't need to play the first of these games to catch up, but as the concept is the same and the quality already good in the first game you might try it first.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. I Expect You To Die 2
neutral · AI labelView post →Whoever made that opening credits had better have gotten a bonus because it's incredible. I will admit I am extremely biased for this game, right feel for difficulty with achievements and puzzles in general. If the first is a must have for VR games then this game does a great job encouraging more people to try VR in the first place.
