Trusted Reviews has cranked out their review of Tabula Rasa. Citing similar complaints as other reviews, TR was handed a 7/10 score.
Here's the bottom line:
Still, I'm not really a 'jam tomorrow' kind of guy. For me, Tabula Rasa is a game with some exceptional strengths - notably the very immediate feel of the combat - but one that still feels too close to what has gone before. I don't know who will take the MMO to its next stage or how they will do it, but while Tabula Rasa hints at a way forward, it doesn't quite stride boldly down it. It's good a good game, but not a revelation, and at the moment I'm not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed WoW, LoTRO or Guild Wars in the past. This might change - and I'm planning to keep hacking away and see whether it does - but for now Tabula Rasa leaves me asking: why wipe the slate clean just to fill it up with the same old stuff?
