The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was December 2020. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 63 in the 9 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $5.00. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

On value it sits in the top 13 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Granny ($7.99, scores 62) and I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar ($24.99, scores 57) both outscore it.

The press gave it 77; the people who bought it give it 94 percent. A 17-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 358 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 321 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

So many hilarious ways to die, each funnier than the last. Some genuinely good puzzles, a bit of comedy, and plenty of nods to old spy movies. Pretty much has it all.

I Expect You To Die is a VR game that gives you the exciting opportunity to become a highly trained secret agent whose main skill is dying in increasingly stupid ways. You are a super-spy with telekinesis, gadgets, and the ability to solve complex puzzles. Unfortunately, you also have the survival instincts of a moth near a light bulb. The game immediately throws you into ridiculous spy situations involving...

This is one of the greatest VR classics of all time. I've played this on quest, and really enjoyed it. I found myself wanting to play it again after losing my Facebook account, and it was definitely worth it. Paying for the game twice, just to replay something you've done is worth it. That's how good this game is. It runs on relatively low end hardware, it's not very resource intensive. If you have never played this...
