The Complex

Really loved it, if anything it felt short I just wanted more. Everything happened so fast that it really made each choice feel intense and I loved that..

I normally wouldn't purchase a game like this, but it was on sale in the Microsoft Store. It was a really fun experience - like a choose-your-own-adventure book, except in movie format. I'd categorize the story as a suspense thriller, and while it got a little cheesy at times, it remained both interesting and suspenseful. The acting was very high quality, particularly the female lead. Collectively, these made for a really enjoyable interactive movie experience, which has now interested me in similar genre titles.

Not sure if the game differs between platforms, but my experience was on the Xbox Series X!

I've always been interested in such interactive stories. I really like the concept of it and I hope these types of stories get more valorized. "The complex" was all right. Found it intriguing and entertaining. But it felt a little disappointing after I'd played/watched "Last Shift" from the same company. The storyline wasn't very engaging and some "unsuitable", unrelated dialogues throughout the progression of the story only lead me to confusion. Found the acting pretty good , but some parts felt a little awkward. As for the story context though, found it a good and grounded one. Worth watching; just grab a snack and don't expect a 10 stars piece.

This is a video game - yet it's also a movie. Or multiple movies in a sense. While the core is the same, you decide the fate(s) ... and depending on your decisions the outcome is different. I personally would have loved a few more variations regarding the ending, but that's me.

Acting is rock solid and this is at least decently told. If like me you're a fan of this kind of storytelling you'll like this too. And will explore different outcomes but also different variations of where relationships are going

When Great Britain and North Ireland decide to go the Science Fiction route, it always is risky. This one fits the mold: too much useless dialogue, slightly acidic remarks in the British line of sarcastic tone and very little action. Adding to it, the British accent ensuring a larger international audience will have difficulty to follow the dialogues, makes it even less palatable. There are definitely British jewels to watch, more dramatic or more comedy, but when it comes to SF ... a movie is not to be shot as a series. Call it one or the other: brilliant SF series (Thee Mandolarian, The Expanse) exist. Brilliant SF movies exist (do I have to give examples?). In summary, disappointing and not recommended in the ocean of below average SF movies.
