Similar to Will's example, if you want to download the whole content of a "folder" keeping the directory structure try:

Get-S3Object -BucketName "my-bucket" -KeyPrefix "path/to/directory" | Read-S3Object -Folder .

MS doc at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/reference/items/Read-S3Object.html provides examples with fancier filtering.
