What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The Secret World Legends maintains a devoted niche audience despite its age, with players praising its engaging investigation quests, flexible weapon system, rich Lovecraftian lore, and accessibility even on older hardware. However, players consistently note the game feels abandoned with no new content or updates coming, and many criticize dated mechanics and design choices that feel tedious by modern standards, though some view these quirks as a historical reminder of gaming's evolution.
(+) Even after many years and the switch from the original one (TSW) to SW Legends, it holds up nicely if you ignore the dated stuff. I was surprised to see a small community of people still playing it. Investigation quests are fun (don't cheat now :I let your IQ grow) and the weapon system is flexible. (-) Sadly it seems no new updates or areas, patches, xpacs will be released so there's that... (+) buuuut hey... the game is still alive so if you're looking for nice dialogue, lore, story and you're a fan of Cthulhu and such... maybe give it a go. Fair graphics and environments. It also runs on my potato PC so it will run on whatever you have... Pro tip: Make sure on the game launcher settings you select "full client" or prepare for a world of pain, bugs and lag spikes.3 found this helpful

Playing older games like this, is amazing for reminding one self that, yes, game developers have always been ♥♥♥♥ at their jobs. Just in case folks are worried the Game Industry has gone to crap ... play older games like this and be reminded it has always sucked. From basic mechanics like guns having "energy" as well as "ammo" for inconvenience.. to what feels like intermittently days long input latency. Tie this to strict level controlled story progression and all the tedium of "old school" game design ... eh I still recomend it, the experience should be inflicted on everyone. On the upside, playing this will probably make other games look so much better :P:P1 found this helpful
Only modern horror MMO I know of.
I mostly played this game in geforce now btw. Tho, I downloaded the game to my pc just now. Tbh, I actually game back to this game after more than a year. Its a fun game. Tho, I dont think I have explored the game proplery. Bcz barely have 12 hours on the game. But yeah, its a fun game. But kinda hard to keep going on like other well renowned rpg.
