Performances are mostly solid aside from the main protagonist, but the lacklustre script with a severe lack of character development aside from large amounts of exposition make it difficult to really care about any of them. Some of the endings are quite abrupt, leaving an unsatisfying finish. I find it unlikely that The Complex will win fans over to the genre, but those who do have a dedication may find something to enjoy.
It's one of those games that's alright for a couple of hours if you can get it at a deep discount. Otherwise, it's just too frustrating to recommend.
There's a core gameplay loop that could have some substance, but it's surrounded by a confused interface, a simply awful tutorial, with surface-level complexity that needn't exist.
I really wanted to like this game, and after the beta I was hoping there would be more to it than what they were testing. Unfortunately, there's not, and there's absolutely no way I could recommend buying this game. If you could pick it up for £10, sure, but four times that? No way.
There's not really many ways of sugar coating it; this game is a mess on Xbox One and isn't worth your time. Surely any other fishing game would be worth considering if you have that urge.
It's nothing more than a concept game for the developers, but I could have given it a higher score if it gave me a laugh. But it didn't. Just pretend you never even read this review and carry on with your life.
It's not even worth your thought time, never mind anything else.
