Computer and Video Games has a review of Tabula Rasa that might be what you're looking for, if you've been thinking of trying this one out!

Which isn't to say that the game's inventions are inconsequential. Take how Tabula Rasa deals with character development. Everyone starts with identical skills and abilities, but you branch at levels five, 15 and 25. At each of the forks you have the ability to create a clone of your progress so you can backtrack.

Then there's the combat itself which, while stat based, has enough twists to make it more than just standing still and shooting at each other. Partial cover leads to defensive bonuses. Kneeling gives you a damage bonus (but a vulnerability in limited manoeuvrability).
