I think there are enough tabletop games in the hobbiest game space for everyone. That means there's a very wide range of games from the simplistic to the complicated. I think if expectations are not kept in check, it can be easy to bite off more than one can chew.
Moreover, everyone's going to find different things complicated. I've been in this hobby for decades. I don't find Gloomhaven particularly complicated. I very much enjoy hex and chit war games. But god damn, I cannot wrap my head around Oath. There's just something about it in which the rules don't click for me.
One of the first things I do when considering a new purchase is head over to BGG and read some reviews. If it looks up my alley, then I'll give the game a go.
