Which one of these have you tried? At what point should it just be a computer game?

Personally, most complex game I tried is Ark Nova which did not even make it on this list.

Even some simpler games can have a lot of dependencies that make playing tedious like Hogwarts Battle

I guess its this one? Android looks kinda cool! So own the game but its too tedious to play or why was it only ever once on the table?

Basically yeah, it's hard to get to the table because it's a massive commitment. Also the rules are pretty crazy, you really need to have several people know the rules otherwise you'll probably be missing things. It was definitely a cool experience though, just one that's hard to get to the table since I either play with my family (who would never play a game this heavy) or friends who are typically busy with kids so we need to keep games under 2 hours.

Yeah it makes sense, sounds like a pity though! But maybe the game could use a redesign to make it a bit less tedious

Definitely, the concept of a cyberpunk murder mystery is very cool. When you play it, you definitely feel like you're in a blade runner like story. It's just the mechanics are fiddly and the game is definitely weighed down by its complexity.
