TSW hit me like no other MMO, and like very few games in general. The lore, the story, the locations, all of that is so unique had a deep impact on me. I still want to visit the locations shown in the game to this day (minus the horrors, ideally). It's investigation type missions were nothing like I've ever encountered in a game. It was my comfort game, and I thought my MMO to be. So when they decided to switch over to SW:L and reset everyone's progress it was heart wrenching. Years later I downloaded it after all, and it just feels so weird and complex with the new progression system and loot boxes and the likes. I just wish for the old game I knew and loved to be back, be it single player or MMO, and visit all those wonderous locations again, and relive this feeling of being a teenager that can't wait to log in to play this game.
I remember seeing a trailer for this for the first time as a kid everything is true gods it had me hooked from then I returned to so many time and through so many stages of my life to this day I’ve never found anther mmo or even game that captured the feeling of the secret worlds. It truly to the day holds a special place in my memories the class system the fact levels didn’t exist the lore and gods even the uniform for the factions it was so good.
It's one of the few games that is set in the modern world with a fantastic twist. The story is both familiar and unique, so it's easy to immerse yourself in the game without having to learn a lot of backstory about the world. You know what New York or London is, so now you can just enjoy the secret societies and rampaging monsters that you are tasked with sending back to their holes.
The game play is fun. The story is excellent. The Graphics are good. It's definitely a game that can be enjoyed for a long time and deserves to be playable by more people.
I loved the original TSW - such a unique and rich story! So much was lost in translation when they tried to updated to Secret World: Legends. I would LOVE to have access to the original game again!
The original game was a unique experience that had never been done before nor since. A modern day rpg with a deep and fulfilling storyline by the author of classics like The Longest Journey.
The Secret World offered a mix of combat, stealth, and even ARG-like investigations requiring players to learn things about the real world which seamlessly integrated into the game. I will forever have fond memories of this title, and consider myself lucky to have been able to share at least part of it via Legends with my wife. I would love it to be resurrected in a (preferably a single player or coop mode) way that I could even potentially share with my children in the future.
Utterly unique atmosphere and world building. There really is nothing else like it and those of us who got to try the original game have searched for something similar ever since, but over a decade later the game remains unique. My friends and I would flock to pick up a remade version of the secret world, either in the original MMO format or as an offline adaptation. If for no other reason, just to inhabit that world again, and to experience the atmosphere and the story again
There is no other game quite like tsw I loved this game the idea of all these myths, legends, etc being real and coexisting in the game is what first brought me to this game. I would love to see it saved

Brave DwarvesBrave Dwarves is a fantasy platform game where you control one of two Dwarves fighting against 'The Great Evil' that has taken over their underground kingdom.
The player has a warrior and a mage character to choose from; there are ordinary weapons for the warrior, and magic weapons (incantations) for the mage.
Both the magical and ordinary weapon types and strength depends on the power stored in four orbs for controlling the four elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth.
The orbs are found laying around on the map, and at the beginning, you only have a single weapon & attack type - for the Warrior its a plain melee attack with his axe - but the orbs & diamonds you find lets you use other attack types: the axe can also throw flaming fire, or homing missiles for example. The mage starts out with a wand that can do a water attack. No damage shows any blood, only smokepuffs.
The orbs power source is taken from colored diamonds found in the caves: Green for Earth, Red for Fire, Blue for Water and White for Air.
There are also some diamonds with combined orb energy effects: Light Blue for Air & Water and Purple for Fire & Earth.
The underground Kingdom is divided into 50 platform levels, to finish a level three larger Key-diamonds must be found; one each of Green, Red and White color - these will open the door to the next level. In the unregistered version, only five levels are available, and there are some other limitations - the demo has no bosses for instance.
In the caves are monsters (of course) but also treasure laying around, which is gathered by walking over them, and added to the player score. Touching a monster loses health. Beakers with blue liquid and large red hearts restore health
A highscore list is available in the registered version, as are passwords & savegames letting a player continue from the last saved location.Fantasy
