The Secret World Review

By Jonathan Leack

Some secrets are best left untold.



I have a soft spot for online RPGs, especially MMOS that try to revitalize the stagnant genre with unique design and progressive flavor. The Secret World fits right into my archetype; not only does it attempt to go in a bold new direction with level-less design, a modern setting, and fully voice-acted cutscenes, but it’s…

  • Level-less ability-centric system offers flexibility
  • Uneventful combat that lacks feedback
  • Fully voice-acted cut-scenes
  • A world devoid of life
  • Investigation quests are enjoyable
  • Most other quests aren’t
