I Expect You To Die 3 Review: Meeting Zor’s Expectations

I Expect You To Die 3

Schell Games’ I Expect You To Die series is a very rare breed in VR. Not only has the franchise survived several hardware generations, but it has also got better with age.

Tis the Season for XR Gaming Hardware And Consumer Choice

Mark Zuckerberg - Quest 3

What do you love to see more of? Great content maximising the hardware you already own or cutting-edge technology that allows developers to dream bigger and better than ever? In an ideal world, it would be somewhere in the middle, but inevitably what tends to happen is a deluge of one or the other. Popular VR devices like Meta Quest 2 and Valve Index have been around for several years now, and there’s some amazing content out there.
