    These small inconsistencies mean Directive 8020 doesn't hit all of its marks. In terms of the setting and plot, along with some late-game story beats, this is arguably the most interesting Dark Pictures game yet. Mechanically, with the stealth sections, it's also the most ambitious. However, in both areas, it also feels like untapped potential — a missed opportunity for the series to prove it's more than just a B-movie in video game form.
