Best Sci-Fi and Horror Games Like Directive 8020


Blog | Games Like

Directive 8020 brings Supermassive Games’ signature brand of cinematic horror into a more action-heavy, survival-horror-flavoured space. The studio has always had a knack for tense choices, grisly consequences, and making you deeply suspicious of every dark corridor, but this time, that familiar formula is heading into sci-fi territory.

So, we’ve rounded up the best games like Directive 8020, from choice-driven horror stories to sci-fi scares, lurking threats, and games where everything can go horribly wrong very, very quickly.


Silent Hill f on PC

1. Silent Hill f

Silent Hill f is an exceptional entry in one of horror’s most beloved series, and a great pick if what you’re after is lurking terror, unsettling imagery, and a story packed with twists and turns. You take control of Hinako as she explores her hometown, now swallowed by a strange fog that has warped everything into something deeply unpleasant. It’s eerie, stylish, and deeply unnerving, which makes it an easy recommendation for anyone after a strong dose of psychological horror.

  • Perfect For: Players who want psychological horror, unsettling storytelling, and the constant feeling that something is very, very wrong.

Alien Isolation on PC

2. Alien Isolation

Alien: Isolation is the perfect game if you want to spend every waking second fearing for your digital life. You play as Amanda Ripley, skulking through dark corridors and trying to survive while a relentless Xenomorph stalks you from the shadows. The game uses plenty of clever tricks to make sure you never feel safe for long, and while you’re desperately trying to stay alive, you’re also uncovering the truth about what happened to your mother. Lovely stuff, really, if your idea of lovely is constant terror.

  • Perfect For: Anyone who wants sci-fi horror, ruthless enemies, and the horrible knowledge that hiding under a desk might not actually save you.

The Quarry on PC

3. The Quarry

The Quarry is all about trying to keep yourself and a group of teenage counsellors alive in the very classic horror setup of a summer camp gone horribly wrong. It’s packed with choices, grisly outcomes, and the kind of “please don’t go into the dark woods alone” moments that make Supermassive’s games so much fun. It’s also playable with others, which adds a nice bit of chaos to the whole thing. Really, this is our stand-in for Supermassive’s wider catalogue, because if you want something like Directive 8020, it makes sense to start with another game from the same developer.

  • Perfect For: Fans of cinematic horror, branching choices, and trying very hard not to get a full cast of characters killed.

Resident Evil Requiem on PC

4. Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem is another strong choice from a long-running survival horror series, and it delivers that familiar mix of tension, action, and deeply unpleasant monsters. This one puts you in control of Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy as they try to survive the horrors connected to the Umbrella Corporation. It’s a great pick if you like your horror with a bit more firepower, a lot of stress, and the occasional moment where you realise you probably should have saved those bullets.

  • Perfect For: Survival horror fans who want action, tension, iconic characters, and plenty of reasons to regret wasting ammo.

Prey on PC

5. Prey

Prey fits the bill nicely because it’s creepy, clever, and set in space, which is a pretty good starting point when looking for something in the same general orbit as Directive 8020. It’s also just a stunning game all-around, with a fantastic concept and loads of ways to approach its many problems using your growing set of strange tools and abilities. Also, sometimes mugs come to life and try to eat you, and frankly, there just aren’t enough games willing to commit to that bit. Then again, almost anything in Prey could be an alien, so you’re better off trusting absolutely nothing.

  • Perfect For: Players who like sci-fi horror, immersive problem-solving, and being suspicious of every single coffee cup in a room.

Detroit: Become Human on PC

6. Detroit Become Human

Quantic Dream games can be a little divisive, and Detroit: Become Human has moments where it lays things on a bit thick, but it’s still an excellent game if you want choice-driven storytelling with a sci-fi edge. It explores advanced androids, personhood, and what it means to be alive, all while giving you plenty of decisions that can send the story in different directions. It’s also a beautiful game to explore, and if you want to feel like every choice you make matters, this is still one of the better options out there.

  • Perfect For: Players who want cinematic sci-fi, branching narratives, and the pressure of knowing one bad decision can change everything.

Sherlock Holmes The Awakened on PC

7. Sherlock Holmes The Awakened

We’re finishing up with probably the biggest curveball on the list. Sherlock Holmes The Awakened comes from Frogwares, which means there’s plenty of investigating to do, a story that pulls you along, and, in this case, a thick layer of horror and tension. You take control of Mr Holmes himself as he dives into a mystery far stranger than his usual cases, with the Cthulhu Mythos creeping in and making everyone involved question absolutely everything they know. It might not seem like an obvious match at first, but if you’re here for mystery, dread, and a story that keeps getting weirder, it absolutely earns its place.

  • Perfect For: Players who want investigation, cosmic horror, and a mystery that becomes much stranger than anyone reasonably asked for.

Forza Horizon 6 has hit a higher peak player count than Forza Horizon 5 and it’s not even out yet


I guess we can call Forza Horizon 6 letting players go to Japan and race against a mech a success then. The incarnation of Forza Horizon with kei trucks and indestructible cherry blossom trees in it is available four days early for people who buy the premium edition, and they have turned up in droves. It hit a peak of 178,009 players on Steam alone according to SteamDB, which puts it well ahead of Forza Horizon 5, the previous entry peaking at 81,096 players on Steam four-and-a-half years ago.

Racing games really have become one of those genres where a single competitor ends up streets ahead of everyone else, to the point where it’s the only option for serious heads. Word is that Motorsport was killed off in Microsoft’s cuts, and Need for Speed’s been put on hold so Criterion can focus on Battlefield. Even Lego 2K Drive is being delisted.

Unlock the Razr Fold 2026’s true multitasking power with these hidden features

Surprisingly, though, several of the best multitasking features aren’t enabled by default on the Motorola Razr Fold, but I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and have unearthed several phenomenal features that are letting me get tons of things done without having to use multiple devices.

TL;DR

  • OnePlus has paused the rollout of OxygenOS version 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX.
  • The rollout was paused due to devices experiencing abnormal restart and boot issues.
  • The rollout will resume after the issue is fixed and the builds are validated for stability and reliability.

OnePlus recently began rolling out an OxygenOS update. If you’re wondering why it’s still not available for your OnePlus device, it’s because the rollout was paused. However, it shouldn’t be long before the rollout resumes.

Over on the company’s community forum, OnePlus announced that it has temporarily suspended the rollout of OxygenOS version 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX. According to the post, some devices were experiencing abnormal restarts and boot issues after updating to these builds. OnePlus states that the decision to pause was made to “ensure device stability and protect user experience.”

No timetable was provided for when the update will resume. However, OnePlus says that it will resume the rollout when the issue is fixed and “the builds have been thoroughly validated for stability and reliability.” The company also states that its “teams are actively working on this with the highest priority.”

For what it’s worth, OnePlus did apologize for the inconvenience. The brand also says it’s “reviewing and strengthening” its testing and quality assurance processes to prevent similar problems in the future. So, it looks like you’ll just have to sit tight for a while until OnePlus is ready to release its latest update.

The offline desk gadget that actually got me to sit up straight


Working from home has its own perils. Pets can be demanding, your back aches from hours at a desk, or you simply forget to move. There are a few apps that nudge you to move around or indicate that you’re not sitting in an ideal position, but they’re easy to dismiss.

I’ve spent the better part of a decade at a home desk, iterating on the setup as I go — gaming chair, lumbar support, the works. None of it guarantees good posture.

Then I came across Isa, a desk device from German startup Deep Care that takes a different approach entirely. It tracks posture, hydration, light, sound, and movement. And it does all of it without a camera or an internet connection, which, in an era of always-on surveillance, is a meaningful differentiator.

Here’s how it works and what’s inside. Isa has a 5.5-inch IPS HD screen and looks like a table clock. It is powered by USB-C; the company supplies a power unit with it, but you can use any of your existing chargers too, as it has a power consumption rating of roughly 2.45W.

The key sensor for the device is the Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D depth sensor on the front — the same technology used in facial recognition and some smartphone cameras — that tracks posture and movement. It also enables beta features, such as counting the number of times you’ve had water or other liquids. The company said that the sensor works in the range of 0.15 meters to 1.8 meters. That means if the device is sitting on your desk, it can measure your movement, even when you stand up and move about. It also packs several other sensors: a ToF 1D sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer, a light sensor, a sound level sensor, a CO₂/VoC sensor, and a temperature and humidity sensor.

Image Credits: Deep CareImage Credits:Deepcare

Getting started is straightforward — the device asks for a few details about you and your work routine. I found it strange that there was no option to set the device to India time (or any other Asian time zone). The company said Isa currently supports only EU and US time zones. Fair enough for now — but broader time zone support, or even a simple world clock, feels like a basic expectation for a desk device.

On the screen, Isa displays your posture with a squircle (a rounded square) ring that fills or empties based on how well you’re sitting, while a water-tank-style widget tracks your drinking. If you are not sitting in the correct posture, the indicator will turn yellow. The Apple Watch-style ring is a surprisingly effective nudge — when I see yellow or red, I straighten up almost instinctively.

The device vibrates to alert you if you’ve been slouching for too long, and I’m okay with that kind of mild shaming. That alert also indicates if you are leaning far too forward or back and helps you correct your stance.

A similar widget tracks movement, and if you have been stationary for a while, Isa suggests you get up, with on-device guided exercises to follow. When you return to your desk after a break, the movement tracker resets.

Deep Care chose not to include a cameras, which helps with privacy, but it comes with trade-offs.

Image Credits: Ivan MehtaImage Credits:Ivan Mehta

If a bottle or some other object sits between you and the sensor, it may read that as a person and log you as stationary. Pets or housemates passing by can trigger the sensor, too. Isa usually figures out that you’ve stepped away and goes to a digital clock display, but I would have liked a manual button to tell it I’m not at the desk so it stops tracking.

Because of the sensor-only approach, the device occasionally told me I’d been stationary for too long when I’d been sitting for under half an hour. These are minor inconveniences. On balance, the device made me check my posture more often than I used to, and the exercise suggestions are truly useful.

image Credit: Ivan MehtaImage Credits:Ivan Mehta

To process all these features, the device uses a quad-core 2 GHz processor. The device can connect to Wi-Fi for software updates, but you can turn it off at any time.

Deep Care was founded by three former Bosch employees and initially sold Isa directly to businesses. It recently expanded to consumers — a shift that signals confidence in the retail market for workplace wellness hardware, and a test of whether a subscription model layered onto premium hardware can find a mainstream audience.

Isa is priced at €299 ($354) with two subscription tiers. The core plan (€4.99 per month) gives you access to posture tracking, healthy sitting habit tracking, drinking habit detection, and its exercise library. The Pro plan(€7.99 per month) lets you track light, noise, and CO2 levels for a healthy working environment.

The company plans to use Isa’s sensor suite to venture into mental health-related tracking. It claims that by using signals like posture, head movement, and chest movement, the device can measure breathing patterns. Plus, paired with environmental data like noise, light levels, and CO2 level, the company wants to introduce a stress-related score.

Even if you skip the mental health features, Isa is a solid device for anyone serious about posture and movement. It isn’t cheap, and the subscription adds to the long-term cost. But if you or someone you know works from home and has been meaning to do something about their desk habits, it’s one of the more thoughtful options out there.

California Lawmakers Are Working On A Bill To Preserve Access To Online Games



A bill that could require game publishers to offer a way to access online games after they are no longer actively supported is making its way to a floor vote in the California State Assembly, the first step on its way to becoming law, Ars Technica reports. The bill, which was introduced as the “Protect Our Games Act,” is particularly notable because Stop Killing Games, a games preservation group pushing for similar protections in the EU and UK, advised on its creation.

If made law in its current incarnation, the Protect Our Games Act would require game publishers or “digital game operators” to warn players at least 60 days in advance of when “services necessary for the ordinary use of the digital game will cease,” and either offer a refund of the full purchase price of the game, a software patch that would make the game playable or a version of the game that works “independent of services controlled by the operator.” The law wouldn’t apply to free games or games that are only accessible via a subscription. It also would only apply to titles released on or after January 1, 2027.

Engadget has contacted the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the industry group that represents game publishers, to comment on the proposed law. We’ll update this article if we hear back.

The bill addresses a core issue of modern game ownership: no one truly owns their games, and they especially don’t own them when they rely on server support from a publisher. Live service games might be sold as a one-time purchase, but they need an internet connection and server infrastructure to function as designed. Once a developer or publisher wants to stop maintaining that infrastructure, the game is effectively dead, and in the case of Ubisoft’s open-world racing game The Crew, delisted from stores and removed from players’ game libraries. Responding to the deletion of The Crew was part of the reason Stop Killing Games was created in the first place.

Assemblymember Chris Ward introduced the Protect Our Games Act to the California Assembly in February 2026. The bill has now made it through the Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee, Judiciary Committee and Appropriations Committee as of May 14, which means the Assembly can take up it for a full vote. Stop Killing Games shared that it advised on the bill via a Reddit post in March, and the group appears to be happy with its progress. “Back shortly before Christmas, when I flew to the US to help set up SKG-US, I didn’t expect us to get this far this quickly,” Moritz Katzner, Stop Killing Games’ General Director, European Affairs, said in a separate post.

There’s still a long path through the California State Assembly and State Senate before the bill can be signed into law, but the progress is promising. Interestingly, at least one game publisher has tried to improve its handling of online games since the initial The Crew debacle. Ubisoft added an offline mode to The Crew 2 in October 2025 that means the game should remain accessible even after support for its online features ends.
