    Directive 8020 is definitely up there with some of the better Supermassive Games releases. It has its faults, but it introduces some great new additions, such as the text dialogue and the stealth gameplay segments. The Turning Point flowchart is excellent for replays also! The game is very tense at times and the overall story dealing with a shape-shifting organism is very fun to follow. Fans of The Thing and fans of other Dark Pictures games need to give this game a try.

    The lack of horror and meaningful choices are just some of the ways in which this gorgeous game about hideous shapeshifters demonstrates that looks alone can be deceiving.

    Quite simply, Directive 8020 is a paradox. For a developer like Supermassive Games, with years of experience creating interactive narrative games, such a decline in nearly every aspect is difficult to overlook, and while the game excels in its choice-and-consequence system, almost everything else, including poor pacing, forced stealth sections, pointless exploration, and weak visuals and animations, drags the experience down to a point where it becomes hard to recommend.
