“One of the few games that literally makes me breathless! The puzzles and game mechanics are out of the box. Play it and you will question every other game with this sentence: "If this can be done, why others replicate…”
“The amount of hate in reviews is nonsense. Armchair developers that fail at developing even a cold in real life is what they are. The game is really special and a gem. Its not for everyone. No game is, but especially in…”
“Its an old game and in maintenance mode so of course it is no surprise that it is not really 4k compatible, and stuff is barely legible in 1440p. But with a mod it is fine. All that aside, its a rare game that is FTP…”

“One of the best MMO's I've ever played. The coding, combat, and platforming are jank af, but if you're looking for an atmospheric cosmic horror game with inside jokes, friendly players, phenomenal story, and engaging…”
“This is a gem. I always come back to it for it's spooky atmosphere, zombie killing, and fully voice acted questing including puzzles and brain busters. The combat is fun. The player base remains small, loyal and…”

“Secret World Legends is a different kind of MMO, with the riddle quests for example and the whole dark theme. But sadly the player base is just reduced to a minimum that its not that open to the public. Just dont get…”

“It is %90 unbalanced, unoptimised, unfinished(release 2017 and no update anymore) experimental project. Gives the feeling of Hellgate which was a big plus for me, but in the end unfinished dead game.”

“I'm going to write this as I play it. Right off the bat, the game is fighting against me. I have an old character from so long ago I forgot about it when I was testing this in a much earlier state and uninstalled it…”

“I remember seeing this game back when i was muuuch much younger, All i knew at the time was it was Modern and there were people with guns fighting and im like 'Helll yeah this looks good' but then i saw it was just more than that, but people with guns and magic hunting down…”
— a player, Steam review · 85 hrs played“The world and lore are what really draw me in with this game. Also with all the conspiracies coming out turning out to be true it is more important than ever to explore the hidden world. You best start believing, because there is one.”
— a player, Steam review · 47 hrs played“Returning to the game after 12 years, the worst change from Classic to Legends is the loss of the skill wheel and the versatility it offered. The amount of things that have been crammed behind paywalls is also jarring for those of us who remember Classic. Honestly, I'm going…”
