TABULA RASA: Jeff 鈥淧ig鈥 Hollis of Wandering Goblin has written up a nice preview of TABULA RASA for IncGamers.
What I like about this overview is that it lays out the prime questions we all want answered - then answers them. How does TR control? What鈥檚 the atmosphere like? What about Character Customization? And of course - the humdinger - Is the game any good? Rasaman vibrations.
鈥淎side from the above, TR is actually a reasonably conventional MMO. This is a good thing. Your character grows and levels up with experience. You learn new skills, get loot drops, and complete quests to get new gear. Do you go out and kill ten werebunnies or skeletons or (dare I even say it?) wandering goblins at the behest of some NPC? Well, sort of. You don鈥檛 kill fantasy creatures, but the quests are pretty conventional.
So is the game fun to play? The answer is a definitive yes. I found TR to be intriguing and captivating as I played it. More telling, when I logged off, I found that I was thinking about TR. I wanted to get back at it, and ignored other games in favor of TR. That is a very good sign, friends.鈥
