    Nine different endings make for a lot of variation, right? Well, that's what you would think. In reality there really isn't any replay value here, with uninteresting choices leading to underwhelming consequences. The actors all do themselves proud, though... so I guess that's something.

    The Complex is a decent story that feels bigger than it could be. While some choices feel very weighty, they are few and far between, leaving a lot of inconsequential decisions in between. Honestly, it may have worked if the experience was a bit shorter - sure, a common complaint has been it is too short, but maybe it would actually benefit from being trimmed a bit. As it stands, it feels like whatever ending you got the first time through, everything else is just "what if" scenarios that don't really matter.

    A lot of visual polish is not enough to cover for a product where the minimum of effort has been placed in every other component. There are far better interactive movies more deserving of your time and money. Even Night Trap was more interesting.

    There’s a place for FMV games like The Complex, but this effort is both poorly written and performed. You’ll tire of the cast long before you reach the release’s credits, and while the title does include various branches in its story, it generally feels like you’re on autopilot for the most part. If you’re desperate for a live action experience, the PS4 already has much better alternatives to this.

    I feel I completely wasted 3 hours of my life "playing" it. The plot is childish. No common sense whatsoever.

The choices are not meaningful and nonsense. I laughed so badly at the end seeing it tries to copy the ending of LIS.… Full Review »
