    For a developer so adept in the mimicry of familiar horror tropes, it's both ironic and tragic that their take on 'pod people' horror, of all things, missed the mark. A bloody shame.

    Directive 8020 shows a lot of narrative growth, but the technical side is a bit shaky. Supermassive nailed their most solid and mature decision tree to date, making the cosmic horror feel like more than just cheap scares. But they did it at the cost of losing that visual punch and cinematic pacing that used to be their bread and butter.
