Directive 8020 review - Supermassive reinvents its cinematic horror anthology with mixed results
Directive 8020 offers a cerebral, slow-burn sci-fi horror experience that shifts away from Supermassive Games' usual popcorn thrills, featuring a stellar cast and a more sophisticated tone. While the game's narrative plot and stealth mechanics are considered derivative and perfunctory respectively, its patient build-up, character development, and the performances of actors like Anneika Rose and Lashana Lynch make it a compelling, albeit imperfect, entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology.
