The Complex Reviews
The Complex is an interactive movie with a fairly interesting plot, a rather good performance from its cast and a decent amount of player involvement that goes beyond simple plot choices. While the genre may not be the most engaging when it comes to gameplay experiences, The Complex could have used some additional help with a flowchart for the plot choices and improving on some cliché elements. Overall, fans of interactive movies with sci-fi plots will have something to look forward here.

Is The Complex worth it? It's really hard to say. It's not exactly an expensive buy at £9.99, and the addition of choices make it more engaging than a television episode or movie. At the end of the day, it's basically a £10 movie rental with some button prompts added in. The best way to play it would be with a group of friends watching together, so you can argue over the choices and go for the path that feels best for you. Otherwise, there are better games and better movies available for the same cost.
The Complex fails at being an engaging interactive experience, video game and story.
The combination of the shallow story, the predicted plot twists and the weak acting abilities of the cast, contribute to an experience that starts in a promising way, but falls flat a few moments later.

The Complex is a failure of an FMV game, with meaningless choices and boring characters that would make you wish for your time back.
