The Secret World: The TLDR review
After weeks of playing the beta and now the release of Funcom’s The Secret World, here’s the short version of all those posts condensed into a nice, handy pocket review you can take with you anywhere.
Good:
- Dark, ominous atmosphere set in a modern environment.
- A nice variety of quests, including some good puzzle quests.
- The skill system is open, giving players lots of latitude for building their characters.
Bad:
- The worse character designer in pay-to-play MMOs.
- Combat is dull. Auditory and visual effects are blase. Combat animations are boring.
- It is a very buggy world, to the point the bugs directly affect gameplay (e.g. Some quests are bugged.).
- The game lacks convenience features, such as a group finder.
- There’s little direction for new players, so it’s easy to get lost and maybe frustrated.
Final verdict:
Avoid. Unless you really need a dark, urban horror fix, just avoid this one.
