9/10

Supermassive Games takes the Dark Pictures series into space with Directive 8020, and with the introduction of new gameplay elements such as stealth, you're more immersed in the action than ever before. Add in its brilliant presentation and gripping story and you have one of the best Dark Pictures games yet, and a must play for fans of space-horror.

Supermassive Games has been honing their The Dark Pictures Anthology horror formula since 2019, each entry sharpening the balance between cinematic storytelling and player-driven horror. Directive 8020 feels like the next evolution of that template, taking a step away from the anthology branding entirely to deliver a standalone experience, albeit one that’s still sprinkled with references for long-time fans.

Directive 8020 is arguably Supermassive's best game since Until Dawn. The wait was well worth it. Here they have crafted a fun and intense sci fi space horror game. I immediately wanted to play again as soon as it was over.

Directive 8020 is everything you could want from a sci-fi horror game: Body horror aliens, the unwavering dread that all of us are insignificant when set against the great expanse of the universe, and fun QTEs.

Directive 8020 feels like Supermassive Games has finally rejuvenated after the disappointing The Devil In Me. With this being the start of season two, this is a great showing, and I can’t wait to see what horrors they bring us next

Directive 8020 does a lot correctly, but tends to get in its own way instead of letting the player sit in the uncomfortableness. The new Turning Point system makes exploring new outcomes a breeze.

Even the futuristic setting of Tau Ceti f and the new Turning Points system can't keep Directive 8020 from settling into the series' formula.

Does Directive 8020 reinvigorate The Dark Pictures with an experience out of this world, or should we brace for a crash landing?

Directive 8020 miało być nowym rozdziałem w antologii The Dark Pictures i nową jakością, ale jej twórcy zdołali wnieść nudę i brak emocji nawet do tak kultowego tematu, jak dryfowanie w kosmosie w towarzystwie tajemniczego „obcego”.

I was too busy questioning character decisions (theirs, not mine), rolling my eyes, and grappling with an overwhelming feeling of déjà vu to ever enjoyably engage in Directive 8020.
