I'll
start with the first game I downloaded and played during Sony's VR
sale last week: “I Expect You to Die.” This game takes place in a
first-person setting where you and your floating hands begin, sitting
at a desk in a 1960-70's era briefing room. You're a spy, and you
must load some projector film to learn about your mission, where you
are told that you will probably die while trying to complete the
mission. The game feels like a fusion between the early James Bond
films and Get Smart, with sticks of dynamite wired to a timer,
champagne and cigars, and laser defenses that can cut you in half.
You must manipulate objects around you to solve the puzzle/situation
that you are in. For instance, your first mission begins with you
seated inside a car that is inside a cargo plane. Your mission is to
get the car out of the plane, mid-flight, and hope that the car's
parachute system will deploy. As you look around the car, you'll find
clues. You need to try different objects out and manipulate them with
your hands to make progress: find the ignition key to turn on the car
and once the car is on, roll down the window to grab a screwdriver
outside, which you can use to unscrew a panel on the car and find a
compartment with a knife, which you'll need to cut the wires of the
bomb that you discover in the glove-box! This is just an example of
the kinds of things you'll be doing, but it's a ton of fun and
yes...you will die as you try different things through
trial-and-error. One added bonus is that between missions, you
accumulate some of the items you've found during missions, so you can
play with them without consequence in the briefing room. I enjoyed
putting dynamite by a row of books, blowing it up from a distance
with my gun, and then tossing a lit lighter at a plant to turn the
briefing room into a blazing inferno, all while having a glass a
champagne, which I shattered against a wall after drinking. For $10,
this game is definitely worth it, but from what I've seen with the
trophies, there only seems to be 4 missions total? Hopefully there
will be expansions later.
