The Secret World blends together two of my favorite things, the Cthulhu mythos and the Illuminati, serving it on a platter of my third favorite thing, MMORPGs. The truth is, though, I really don’t know much about it. All I hear is rumor and whispers. So why not spend a moment to curl up beside the fireplace and listen to the stories of someone who has spent their time deep in The Secret World? This trip report follows the adventures of a player signed up with the Illuminati faction. Everybody wants to rule the world. 1UP has the story.
The game has plenty of bugs in it, can’t say otherwise. It also seems to be worth the effort to deal with those bugs. Unfortunately, a lot of game is puzzle-solving, and general chat is the functional opposite of going through a puzzle without spoilers. Newbie tip, turn off general chat first thing you do in the game.
