I Expect You To Die 3 - Virtual Reality Review I Expect You To Die 3 is as far as we know the final game in the trilogy in the series although it could return , but its unlikely but what a bang to end it on. Like the previous games have done the intro credits are once again cinema , they're SO GOOD and incredibly well made, the singer always brings the main villain to life and i can't fault anything with any of the intros. This puzzles and missions are the biggest of the series yet , which is to be expected. Every new game should expand on the previous title and more the visuals and the puzzles should be more interesting and more complex. While this game still holds up as good as the previous entry's , i couldn't help but have a little issue with some of the puzzles , they're a little complex but the hints also don't link very well. For some of these levels I went along at a standard pace , but a few i spent a few hours on and i was extremely confused. so the puzzles are alot more complex and harder but thats not a bad thing. This game also had the most bugs out of the 3 games , mind you the bugs aren't too bad but for me objects would clip through the ground or wall or they would launch and i'd have to reset the level due to being out of bounds and not able to reach, regardless they're the only bugs i experienced personally. The I Expect You To Die series all bring something new and unique to the table , and this game is no exception i loved every single minute and second i had with all 3 games , and i can't wait to see where the devlopers go from here. GO BUY THESE GAMES! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! Agent Kurotae is now on holiday i'll be back , hopefully~
