Richtig geile Rätsel
Best lovecraftian multiplayer game ever made. One of the best Urban Fantasy games ever made. One of the best stories in an MMO, perhaps only beaten by SWTOR Overall a wonderful game, it is too bad that we're not getting more of it.
hell yeah
Played the original TSW on release, played through Legends once before, and playing through Legends again (partially because I can't remember my old account details for the original lol). Plenty of other reviews will correctly describe all that's been lost going from the original to Legends and it is indeed a great loss but ultimately this game still has strong bones and it's worth playing through at least once to drink in the narrative and atmosphere and to experience the majesty of the investigation missions (try not to just look up the answers, working out the puzzles yourself is extremely rewarding when you can manage it :3).
Only modern horror MMO I know of.
Honestly, the atmosphere, lore, and that Lovecraftian secret society vibe (Illuminati, Templars, etc.) are actually great. The investigation quests are probably some of the best in any MMO—having to actually search things up on the real internet to solve puzzles was an amazing concept. But then you look at the core of the game: the combat is absolute trash. When they rebranded from the original The Secret World to Secret World Legends, they promised to fix it, but the animations are still stiff as a brick and there is zero impact feeling. On top of that, they turned the whole progression into a mobile-game-tier grind and pay-to-progress trap. They want your wallet for everything, from inventory space to weapon upgrades. It's okay if you just want to solo the story like a single-player game and leave, but as an MMORPG, it's dead. The servers feel like a ghost town. 5/10 only because the story is decent.
I am baffled at a recent proton 11 ability... I always played this game with issues to load areas, to make it smooth for my computer to follow up, even though I was on a good configuration. Now it's a CachyOS distribution, with a RTX 3060, and an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X it's fun... (though a bit alone in this old MMO ^^' )
the vibes of this game are awesome. its a very unique mmo and the story is fantastic
MMORPG с элементами экшена и хоррора (дата выхода: 31.07.2017). Исследуйте современный мир, полный тайн и сверхъестественного: сражайтесь с монстрами, разгадывайте головоломки, выполняйте квесты в Нью‑Йорке, Лондоне, Сеуле и других локациях. Сочетайте оружие и способности, объединяйтесь в группы для рейдов. Плюсы: глубокий, нелинейный сюжет с отсылками к мифологии, Лавкрафту и теориям заговора; атмосферные локации — реальные города с мистической подоплёкой; головоломки в квестах вместо стандартных «убей/принеси»; гибкая система прокачки: нет жёстких классов, можно комбинировать любое оружие и навыки; возможность проходить контент в одиночку или в кооперативе; богатая кастомизация персонажа (сотни настроек); бесплатная модель распространения без «pay‑to‑win»; динамичные бои от третьего лица с уклонениями и комбинациями. Минусы: отсутствие локализации на русский язык; устаревшая графика по меркам современных MMORPG; монотонный геймплей на поздних этапах (гриндинг); ограниченная система квестов: лимит на количество активных заданий; слабая оптимизация — возможны просадки FPS на средних ПК; упрощение механик по сравнению с оригинальной The Secret World (меньше навыков); скудная визуальная обратная связь в боях — удары кажутся «невесомыми». Итог: подойдёт любителям мистики, квестов и нестандартных MMORPG, ценящим сюжет, головоломки и свободу развития персонажа. Secret World Legends привлекает уникальной атмосферой, сочетанием реальности и сверхъестественного, а также гибкой боевой системой, но может разочаровать графикой, гриндом и отсутствием русского языка. Идеальна для тех, кто готов вникать в лор, решать загадки и играть в своём темпе. Не подойдёт тем, кто ищет аркадный экшен без размышлений, линейный сюжет, современную визуальную составляющую или мгновенный прогресс без вложений времени.
