TERA

Last month in MMO Reroll, Mitch took a trip back to the Dark Ages of gaming - the early 2000s - and gave the aptly named Dark Ages of Camelot a try. This month, it's TERA.

Almost 6 years after its debut, the F2P action combat fantasy MMO Tera, developed by Bluehole Studio and published by En Masse, has now arrived on our consoles, specifically PS4 and XBox One. Two weeks ago we started off in En Masse’s “7 day Head Start” program and on April 3rd the game opened up to F2Pers all around the world. We’ve had a few weeks for the “dust to settle” so the question is how have things changed since our first pre-review, if at all.

Being a frequent player of the Windows version my initial knee jerk response when a console variant hits is “does it offer anything differently for a PC user” and “how does it play on console in general”. In this multi-part review, I’ll try to dig deeper into those questions while hopefully drawing in new Tera players who might have originally shunned it due to being strictly a PC release.

We are ready to launch a brand new column today with the arrival of The Tourist that will feature jaunts through MMOs of note. In today's installment, we take a look at TERA. See what The Tourist discovered and then leave your thoughts in the comments.
