Review in Progress #1 - Approachable & Engaging

There has been a deluge of MMO releases these past few weeks. And yet, the one I didn't expect to get completely sucked into has been tying up all my free gaming time since Funcom let press in the doors early this week - Secret World Legends is a blast. In many ways, SWL is the The Secret World you know and love. But in all the best ways, it's also a more approachable and highly more engaging affair thanks to a revamped combat and progression system.

A Peek Behind the Curtain – Beta Preview

I’ve got a confession to make: I wish I played The Secret World more.
