Still based on the rulesets of the 3.0 version of D&D, the game let’s you realize a full dungeon crawler, tactical RPG experience with the help of choice, adventure and customization. This version, developed by Overhaul Games and published by Beamdog, brings you back deep into the D&D nostalgia that it originally brought us so many years ago. Based off the popular table-top games of Dungeons & Dragons, also known as D&D, the game let’s you create your own adventurer that embarks on his or her own great, heroic campaign. Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition is a remaster of Neverwinter Nights that originally released about 15 years ago in June 2002.

If you can look past the shortcomings of the dated presentation and lacking polish, you’ll see why this is one of the most highly regarded RPGs.Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition review written by Mylène. That’s a shame when Neverwinter Nights was a game that tried to capture more of the tabletop RPG vibe than previous CRPGs had managed.Įven so, there’s well over a hundred hours of some of the best-written RPGs of all time, and a ton of additional curated content. All of this can be played with online co-op as well, though on PlayStation 4 you’re missing out on cross-platform multiplayer and the Persistent Worlds, two player-run campaigns that are hosted online and support hundreds of players at a time. Alongside the original campaign, it has two expansions included, Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark, as well as a load of modules to play through. The one place where Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition really excels is with the wealth of content available to you.

On the plus side, the radial menus the game uses for in-game actions actually work pretty well with a controller, even if it’s still a little awkward to keep track of where the things you want are, as there are far too many of them. When it is time to sell all your loot to a shop, what would be a simple drag and drop with a mouse becomes a finnicky ordeal with an analog stick.

It’s not always obvious which option in a menu is highlighted, or which option will be highlighted when you try to change selection, occasionally turning menu navigation into a guessing game.

That would be fine if you’re playing on PC with a keyboard and mouse as it was originally designed for, but here I am playing Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition on console with a controller in hand. The presentation continues to be an issue throughout, as the UI is exactly the same as it was 18 years ago. Sometimes you can even see the previous screen behind them rather than the customary black border.

They’re blockier than Minecraft and stretched to fill the screen in an ugly fashion. Even the CGI cutscenes look poor, as they don’t seem to have been fiddled with at all.
