    The Complex puts the player in the middle of a sci-fi themed interactive movie where the choices in each scene (but not just) will influence the plot development. The game does a decent job at that, keeping the player interested in the story but it would be more enjoyable and welcoming if it featured a flowchart for the player's choices and if its plot got rid of some clichés.

    The Complex is a decently serviceable FMV game that has an ambitious relationship mechanic that drives choices forward. However, with some odd presentation choices and limited freedoms, this feels more like a midday movie matinee than a crowd-pleasing blockbuster.

    Not even in the darkest fantasies of Whales Interactive could the studio have imagined a better setting to launch its interactive film. It is a pity that despite having included experiences that improve its gameplay the title doesn't manage to be at the level of previous games.

    The Complex is a cleverly made interactive movie with an intriguing sci fi plot that eerily parallels the real world.
