That's definitely a good pick, but I have to go with Uncharted.
The shooting and platforming, while they may seem elementary to a novice, do indeed betray your expectations once you're exposed to their limitless depth. Relatively easy to learn, but nearly impossible to master. To compliment these expansive systems, Uncharted also brings us a melee system that might as well be a top tier fighting game unto itself. I always laugh when people look to games like Guilty Gear, Street Fighter, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, etc. as some sort of fisticuffs simulations that are worthy of marvel when Uncharted gives you that experience and so much more.
Then there are puzzles that can twist the minds of even the most seasoned gamers and send them running to Youtube for answers, tails tucked between their legs. Once I was stumped on a puzzle in Uncharted for 14 hours straight. These days I have to set an alarm clock to let me know when to give up and consult a specialist.
And you want to talk complexity? Most games (Total War included) are merely toys. True complexity is the complexity of emotion and Uncharted has this in SPADES my friend. Tears of sadness, tears of joy, tears from laughter. Anger, love, angst, it's all there for the taking. Uncharted is like a movie if movies didn't suck (by comparison mind you), it's an emotional roller coaster, far too complex for most gamers, but for us intellectual gamers? It's the height of this medium. Every day I'm grateful that Naughty Dog went out of their way to weave these intricate threads that will undoubtedly be lost on most gamers.
Sorry, but brainless shooters arent complex.
