Secret World can be tremendous fun IF you try the puzzles and events without simply running to the computer for the answers. It is a MMO through I believe it went free to play. My wife has a lifetime so I'm not sure what it all entails. From the little I have played the beginning is a Cthulhuesk zombie apocalypse, not sure what the rest is like.
The early-game investigations in TSW are really good. I found the entire first island (the first three zones) to be really fun and the investigations are mostly possible without resorting to digging up hints on the internet (though most of the big sites have spoiler-tagged their solutions so you can get little hints without ruining the whole thing).
The opposition starts with Deep Ones (who are making zombie foot soldiers), then goes to Egypt with a focus on ancient beings and cultists, then to Transylvania for vampires and werewolves. Finally, it gets to Tokyo for a bit of everything plus robots. For my tastes, the first area really is the best.
It is an MMO, but it's intentionally done so that you don't run across other players that often (unless you intentionally group with them). They're also supposed to have a relaunch in the next few months since the dong-slider for Conan Exiles has made them flush with cash.
