Directive 8020 reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC, also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. "I've been a big fan of The Dark Pictures since the very beginning, despite their quirks and shortcomings, and Directive 8020 is a chilling and impressive start to the second season of the anthology. The effective deep space setting, smart writing, strong performances from the main cast, and a tense – if a bit overused – new stealth mechanic are the highlights. I wish the ability to scroll through the scene trees hadn't been presented to me as so immediately and trivially accessible, since even casually pawing through it for a minute definitely ruins some of the magic and suspense on a first playthrough, even if it is a welcome tool on return visits. Either way, this is a step forward for the anthology in terms of spectacle and storytelling, which makes it more than worth the ride." #ign #gaming

Got enough ad breaks? Holy hell
"When in doubt, 8 it out" - IGN
The score is 8
This amount of ads on a 10 minute video is terrible
They still keep using the same faces for the characters from previous games but i like some of the changes and how it’s more interactive. No curator is sad though, loved his vibes in the previous 4 games.
I’ll be surprised if this is better than House of Ashes the best Dark pictures game
How to design a black character in modern games 101: If black character is male, make him look like Killmonger or bald. If black character is female, make her bald or bald.
Uncanny Valley 8020.
Oh it's that lady from No Time To Die. I was wondering what she'd do after the last James Bond movie. Right before the new James Bond game comes out too.
If I had a nickel for every sci-fi game that featued a black female protagonist with a shaved head, I'd have 3 nickels....which isn't a lot but weird that it is happening 3 times.
How many ads do you need for one review video
Cant wait to play this cause I love house of ashes and Devil in me
Sad to learn the curator isn't around. I was always curious if they were going to do something more with that at some point.
Kinda hard to have the actor Tony Pankhurst come back when he died m8.
"Mixtape" was a 10 tho?
I look forward to the comments more than the actual reviews 😂😂😂😂
Mixtape 10/10 lol
easiest thing in the world to say is.....when IGN have a review.....ignore it
So this is an 8 yet sloptape gets a 10? No wonders everyone mocks you
Verdict 8…020😂
