June 2025
Steam Deck performance review for The Complex. This game is listed as 'playable' on the steam deck. Here is my steam deck performance review after spending about 3 hours with the game and grinding for all the achievements solely on the steam deck. This was strictly a steam deck PERFORMANCE review. If you want a full review of the game, there are plenty of reviews online. Problems Encountered Absolutely nothing. This was the first game I played on the steam deck that ran perfectly and was fully optimised for the system. Battery Life Using the original LED steam deck and running the game at the default setting with 50% brightness, I was able to complete and farm the remaining achievements without any guide in about 3 hours on a single sitting and still have around 45% of battery remaining. One can assume with these numbers the game can last +5 hours on a single charge. Overall No issues whatsoever. This game runs PERFECTLY on the steam deck.

Honestly, the game itself is pretty mid, maybe slightly above average, and that’s mostly thanks to Michelle Mylett. Funny thing is, I had never seen her in anything before, yet she somehow felt familiar. I even checked her filmography and realized I hadn’t watched a single thing she was in. The story was okay, nothing too special, but not bad either. Al Weaver was a nice addition to the cast as well. I haven’t seen any of his work either, but I have to admit, he’s kinda cute lol. Thumbs Up 4 Respect & The Effort.

Wales Interactive knocks it out of the park again. Paul Raschid directed this game phenomenally and it features Michelle Mylett who is known for her role in Letterkenney and Al Weaver; Who has quickly become one of my favorite actors and was also featured in Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus. If you enjoy mystery suspense movies and choose your own adventure games, then you won't be disappointed by this game. The characters are likeable, the writing is intelligent and there is some comedy sprinkled in that will give you a chuckle which adds some zest to the narrative. This FMV is almost Black Mirror-esq but that is a good thing in my opinion. I highly recommend if you enjoy FMV's or have any other Wales Interactive games because it's worth adding to your collection.

After a little thinking I clicked on 'Yes', I DO recommend this game. Nevertheless it is far from perfect. First of all it is VERY short, and the story is quite dumb, events/character actions are illogical. The minor breaks when scenes change are annoying (at least at first, after some time You get used to it). Late Shift was way better (writing, fluidity, etc) in most aspects. But having the option to skip scenes already seen are really useful here, I love that! TL;DR if you like FMV games and can buy it with a discount, go for it, but don't expect it to be the best ever
