Directive 8020

Boring. Ugly characters. Uninspiring. Something is very wrong with their facial expressions. Too exaggerated. Overly masculine women with zero ounce of feminine features. Not recommended.

10/10

Narratively, Directive 8020 delivers a fairly predictable experience that retreads familiar sci-fi horror tropes without leveraging the full potential of its episodic format. While narrative adventures need gameplay elements to sustain momentum over a longer playtime, opting for forced stealth passages was the worst possible choice. Instead of heightening tension, these segments merely drag down the game's pacing. Technically, the game feels overly hardware-hungry for visuals that no longer look particularly state-of-the-art. On the bright side, the controls are smooth and handle well. A practical tip for immersion: keeping the flashlight turned off and adopting the run as your default walking pace significantly improves both the atmosphere and flow. Ultimately, a middle-of-the-road entry that stifles its own momentum with tedious stealth padding.

Just finished one playthrough and eager to poke around at the storyline divergences! It's very much a TV sci-fi horror miniseries, and I love it to bits.

loads of fun to watch how the story plays out from your choices. Been playing a solo and a separate run with friends and its been interesting to watch how the two stories play out.

story was alr but combat and qtes were horrendous lethal difficulty being basically impossible as it gives a split second to even hit it compared to the other games. writing at some points were questionable, decisions always never matter unless its a consequence which will either do nothing or later on in the game just get a character killed without any context other than the turning point decision popping up. Also most of the cast were unlikeable.
