Directive 8020 Review: Dark Pictures Season Two Gets Off to a Solid Start

Supermassive Games has struggled with its last few releases over the past three years.

Directive 8020 Review

Directive 8020 is one of the most ambitious entries in The Dark Pictures Anthology yet, and it largely succeeds. The game introduces exciting live stealth sections that add a new level of tension, and the characters become increasingly engaging as the story unfolds.

While not everything is perfect – the game’s visuals can feel a bit rigid, and some choices are predictable – Directive 8020 feels like a strong step forward for the series and sets a promising path for future installments.
