The Complex Reviews

A real good one, some lines are pretty cheesy but its a movie so that tracks. Picked the wrong choice when it mattered because I panicked but I still cried a lot. Nice work

i couldnt really connect to it. protagonist is cute as heck tho

I don't know what was happening for most of this game. ON GOD VAPORIZE REESE IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME. BEST PART OF THE GAME BY FAR ALMOST MADE IT WORTH IT.

My grade would be average. Buy it on sale for $3.74. Pro: Could pause choices so that no time pressure for a decision. Could skip scenes that I had already watched. Side note: my favorite games by Wales Interactive are Late Shift, Five Dates, and Ten Dates.

This is how I played [b] The Complex: [/b] I completed one full blind run (which only took about 1.5 hours), then I used a guide to complete all subsequent endings and see all the scenes I missed in my first playthrough. There are eight possible endings. I did this largely because I was fine with that initial play being more of a movie experience with an ending I was somewhat satisfied with so at that point I was just curious about seeing the other scenes/endings without investing a ton more time. The acting is OK- [b] Clare/Kim Adis [/b] is my fav by far, hilarious and believable performance! with some other notable talent such as [b] Michelle Mylett (Letterkenny), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones), and Al Weaver (?). [/b] The sets are OK, the props are a little....strange sometimes, but my biggest issue is that some of the branching scenarios and narrative responses are so wildly implausible or weak that it broke the immersion for me to the point I couldn't even treat it as a popcorn flick. There are no really unique or novel ideas presented in this fairly generic outbreak plot either. It also seems to have a little bit of an identity crisis in regards to what time period it's set in: is it future or present or.... [i] near [/i] future? I was never too sure. And back to the acting for a second- I agree with the other reviewers who point out that the scientists who are pioneering this incredible bio nano tech and spearheading international diplomatic negotiations seem to be a bit young. It could have just been the actors' delivery but it diminished some of the credibility for me. You can pause the timer on decisions in the options menu. You can skip past scenes you've already watched. Some of the endings are WAY more believable than others and, again, some were just outright over-the-top. Recommended on discount. Interesting premise but didn't quite stick the landing for me. [b] 2.75 out of 5 [/b] nanocells for me
