Aug. 2024

I've been playing this game for years and years, back before it even changed to Secret World Legends. It's the most involved story of any MMO I've ever played, the most creative and engaging narrative and storylines for quests. The gameplay is nothing exciting, early 10's MMO fare, with quite a bit of customization options in terms of breadth but not depth. The microtransactions can be killer, but it's far from pay-to-win, more of pay-to-rush. I thoroughly recommend playing it, and supporting the game by becoming a patron for a month or two - play through the main story, enjoy the plot and the writing, and dream about what might have been.

July 2024

Played this before steam too during the launch and then also during the pivot to the FTP model. I will say that the lore, world building and story is amazing. It's a super single player game. But the MMO aspect sucks. This would've been better as a Mass Effect/Bioware type of instanced rpg. But it's ait I guess, since you can play it for free now and experience the story.

June 2024

I'm coming back to this after a decade. I was pretty bummed that my characters and stuff had been wiped, which is pretty unforgivable. It also feels pretty janky in 2024. They completely redesigned the combat system; the new one is cool but awkward. That said, the story of this game is really cool. There are a lot of puzzle elements that force you to search the game environment for clues to advance. For a free game with a cash shop for upgrades and cosmetics, I think its pretty worthwhile. just expect it to feel awkward and look dated.

June 2024

I've played this game on and off since the original "The Secret World" came out. I loved the original, but it had significant performance issues on my hardware at the time that prevented me from playing regularly. A couple of years later I picked up Secret World Legends, as I missed the immersion and amazing storytelling of the original (and had better hardware). I was pleased to find that they had kept the role-playing and world building intact. However, Legends combat and character building system was a significant downgrade from the original's skill trees, and resulted in a less satisfying combat experience than I'd remembered. However, even though I preferred The Secret World, I have to say that this game is worth the time to download and try it out. The story alone makes it worthwhile. It's not really an MMO at this point, more a single player experience due to the low population count, but most missions can be accomplished solo. The graphics and performance are somewhat middling for a game in 2024, but the designs, writing, and acting are so good that the glitches don't really break your immersion. It's also unique gaming experience - there's still really nothing out there like it. The world is incredibly vibrant and horrifying, the characters have extensive backstories, and you're constantly discovering new twists. Plot lines can stretch over hours. It's like the best parts of the x-files, lovecraftian horror, and dc comics happening all at once. It will suck you in, and it's one of those games you'll keep coming back to - despite it's issues. It's very easy to put in dozens of hours and never feel like you're grinding. All in all, by today's standards, this is a 7/10 game - but it's one I recommend that everyone try at least once. In its own way, it's a forgotten masterpiece that displays a depth and ambition far beyond what passes for gaming worlds these days.

I miss the old Secret World. Combat was better. User Experience was better. Now its story and world exploration is the only reason you should play this game, and they are GOOD. There is a living world out there, no matter how dead it looks from the player count. You can visit Kingsmouth and feel like you have spent a summer there before.
