'Directive 8020' is 'The Thing' in space, but is developer Supermassive Games biting off more than it can chew?

Supermassive Games feels like a predictable and reliable studio at this point. Ever since Until Dawn, they have mostly focused on releasing solid, and sometimes excellent, narrative-driven survival horror titles. However, over the course of the 10 years since Until Dawn’s release, the team has subtly tried to flex its muscles by evolving what little gameplay its games have.

That trend continues with Directive 2080, one of the studio’s next horror games, where it feels like the studio is being bolder than ever and trying to ensure Directive 8020 is a game and not just a movie you watch.
