Directive 8020 reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC, also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
"I've been a big fan of The Dark Pictures since the very beginning, despite their quirks and shortcomings, and Directive 8020 is a chilling and impressive start to the second season of the anthology. The effective deep space setting, smart writing, strong performances from the main cast, and a tense – if a bit overused – new stealth mechanic are the highlights. I wish the ability to scroll through the scene trees hadn't been presented to me as so immediately and trivially accessible, since even casually pawing through it for a minute definitely ruins some of the magic and suspense on a first playthrough, even if it is a welcome tool on return visits. Either way, this is a step forward for the anthology in terms of spectacle and storytelling, which makes it more than worth the ride."
