Score: 90/100

"TERA may not offer enough to dethrone World of Warcraft, but it is a wonderful game with a thrilling story and loads of action. Above all else the combat mechanics are a great innovation."

Cheat Code Central
Score: 4.2/5

"I almost hesitate to lavish so much praise on TERA. Given how much it has stolen from World of Warcraft, TERA is standing on the shoulders of a very tall, very strong giant. But the bottom line is that TERA fixes the very worst aspect of WoW—the lame combat—while making some improvements to other features and doing a good job of emulating the basics. If you're looking for a new MMO, TERA is an excellent choice."

Gamereactor Sweden
Score: 8/10

"However you choose to watch it, Tera is a strong newcomer in the role-playing genre. During the beta period it sometimes could be really bad, but now that the game is finished and released, it is clear that Blue Hole Studio managed to get the ship straightened out eventually. There is endless potential thanks to a unique striddsystem and inviting, warm graphics that refuses to let go."

Eurogamer Italy
Score: 8/10

"This leads us to consider TERA as a product with great potential, with PvE and PvP fun, whose future will tell us if it will have the success it deserves, or if it will become yet another bubble in this sector. If you are in a time of lean and what you are playing has got you bored, it's the right product for you. Especially PVP servers."

G4
Score: 4/5

"As I mentioned before, MMOs usually fail to hold my interest for long. Whether it’s the gameplay or repetitive quests, I’m back to other games in no time. However with TERA, I may have found a game to keep me busy for the foreseeable future. The combat is fun and intuitive, the story is fresh, and the monsters are truly monstrous. Now if I could just find a pair of pants for my Slayer, I’d be set."
