Secret World Legends invites you into the world that exists beneath ours, filled with the mysterious, the inexplicable and the things that bang in the night. Released in 2017, Funcom’s MMORPG revitalizes the original Secret World, turning the game into a free-to-play model.
The improvements to the gameplay and graphics give the game a modern look. While some elements still seem outdated, what Secret World Legends offers in story and environment makes up for the rough edges.
History
Since the dawn of time, a war has raged between the forces of light and darkness. Throughout history, secret organizations vie for control, pulling strings in our world and battling the forces of darkness in theirs. The Templars, the Illuminati and the Dragon work against each other in this eternal battle of good and evil. At first, the player chooses one of the three factions to swear allegiance to. After that, the story begins and from there the secret world reveals itself.
Fully voiced footage drives the story along with impressive cinematography and animation not often seen in MMOs. The vocal acting stands out, giving life to extraordinarily realized characters and sharp dialogue. The smaller side missions show the care taken in writing the character, one of my favorites being Henry Hawthorne. This small town priest thinks he is an honorary member of the Illuminati after “extensive research on the net” where he found “forums that do not appear on Google”.
