The Dark Pictures Anthology Has Never Been More Adrift | Directive 8020 Review
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Directive 8020, the fifth entry in Supermassive Games' horror series, takes players to outer space but suffers from grating performances and rote stealth sequences. While it introduces a new "Turning Points" system for easier story exploration and a tense multiplayer mechanic inspired by "The Thing," the game's overall formula feels aged, with frustrating puzzles and a departure from the series' former cinematic flair. The review suggests the series is at a crossroads, potentially needing a technical overhaul to recapture the quality of earlier titles like "Until Dawn."
