Apologies in advance…

Most complex antagonists ?
Which games have complex antagonists ? Villains that can actually make you think " what if this guy is right ? what if his motives are valid and hes not the bad guy " , im sick of games with typical "i want to destroy this world " , the good guy comes and defeats him , end of story

Joker is easily mine too, but it feels too easy because Mark Hamill is so good at it.
Other villains I enjoyed were GLaDOS, Jack of Blades, Handsome Jack and Vaas.

Does he count? Hamill is basically playing his role from the animated series.

Was going to say the same. It was cool how you could convince him to commit sudoku and skip is first phase if you had enough speech points. It’s interesting how they made him both terrible but sympathetic still. The prequel book with Anderson and Saren was cool too.

Colonel Yevgeny Volgin when brutalizing Snake's flesh... mmmm.
Games do not have good antagonists, like really evil, cruel bastards.

Kain. Blood Omen. My fav Villain Protagonist. Vae Victis.
MGS series has some fucked up shit though.
Let's not forget a certain villain surgically implanted a bomb inside a girls's womb. It's as evil and twisted as it gets.

Came here to say this. He's a badass villain and his subsequent appearances in later games is great.Liquid Snake

Have you seen the movie I saw the devil? Now that had some really good portrayal of someone who is really evil and cruel to the heart. Besides MGS, most of the games have these fairytale like evil bosses, nothing serious, sadly.

I can’t believe this isn’t who OP nominated. Bowser is the best villain ever. He doesn’t even need a story, he’s just understood as a Bad Guy
What a reputation that dude has.

Easily Gaunter O'Dimm from Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone.
The mundane way you first met and interact with him, the shocking reunion, the way he nonchalantly showed his power little by little, the way he appears in the background of DLC's story from start to finish, and the way you gradually learn about his nature through out quest, stories, rumors and experience. It's just perfection in villain character writing.
In a game where you can kill everything that has a health bar, this is a villain that actually terrifies me. In one of the endings where you could ask him for reward, I simply chose "nothing at all" because I just want to get away from this man and didn't want anything to do with him.

Off topic, but the ghosts would have to be one of the first recognizable villains, followed by Donkey Kong? even Mario was a villain in DKJR. I'm hard pressed to remember any others in the late 70's or early 80's. Maybe Space invader(s) icon.
But I'm on the same page as you, the ghosts were the first that came to mind.
