Path of Exile vs Secret World Legends
Path of Exile
Path of Exile is a game come true for fans of the dungeon-crawling MMO genre, much like Drakensang Online. However, this game has a much more similar theme to the dark and brooding tone set by the Diablo series as opposed to the more lighthearted tone in the Torchlight series. Like most dungeon crawlers, the gameplay in Path of Exile is pretty much a straight-up hack-and-slash but interestingly, the character you play has a variety of passive and active abilities that provide players with the freedom to create whatever build they like. Of course, these builds and the players' skills will be put to the test when they attempt to take on an epic boss which if defeated, will shower their group with plenty of amazing loot.Another interesting aspect in Path of Exile is its robust and thriving player-driven economy. Similar to Diablo 3's albeit failed auction system in some way, players who raid often can sell any loot they don't need on the market rather than a mere AI vendor usually at a marked-up price. Other players who don't have that much time to raid but money aplenty can then spend the necessary amount to buy the stuff they need.
Path of Exile is definitely the sort of free-to-play game fans of Diablo, or any dungeon crawler game really, will love to play. If you happen to be one of them, then what are you waiting for? Try the game now!
Secret World Legends
Secret World Legends is a Lovecraftian-inspired MMORPG that’s very different from any MMO you might have played before in your life. Featuring a unique horror-like approach, the game deals not only in the supernatural, conspiracies and the magical, but also the shadowy world of secret societies set in modern times. The resulting dark and somewhat dreary blend provides the optimal platform for the game’s riveting storyline to be built on. The game is also perhaps the only one to have short yet brilliantly-made cinematics for every important quest you pick up, allowing you to not only immerse yourself further into the story but also appreciate the perfection in the voice acting that was included.Not to mention, Secret World Legends has a completely unique chance-based combat system which allows players to deal additional damage whenever certain criteria are met. There is even an in-depth talent and skills system along with various equipment upgrades for players to customize their character to fit the roles they play in either PvE or PvP.
So, if you’re up for an MMORPG that’s one-of-its-kind, Secret World Legends is definitely the one game you simply must try. It will slowly but surely reel you into its many worlds, plot twists and conspiracies.
