Critic Reviews for Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition is a decent port of a decent game. The branching dialogue options, deep character customization, and wealth of content to discover make this an appealing offer to CRPG fans, but the occasional glitches and overall jankiness prevent it from becoming an all-time great or an easy recommendation for anyone. If you were a big fan of this back in the day, I'd say this is certainly worth picking up just to see it a little more polished up, but if you're a newcomer, I think it might be better to wait for a modest sale before taking the plunge.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition is a respectful and functional remaster of the RPG originally developed by Obsidian Entertainment. The visuals and overall performance have been improved, though the aesthetics remain dated. Modern accessibility options are lacking, and companion AI still shows its limitations. Nevertheless, most of the content – especially Mask of the Betrayer – shines for its narrative depth. It's a faithful remaster that aims to preserve the original's magic, and largely succeeds in doing so.

Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition brings a classic back for modern audiences. While it retains some of the idiosyncrasies of its time and can be a bit complex, it's still well worth a try, especially with the potential of Steam Workshop!

Despite being a title worthy of its legacy, the new version of Neverwinter Nights 2 is anything but Enhanced. Aside from graphical upscaling and the fact that it includes all expansions in a single package, the console port is unfortunately inferior compared to the original version released for PC in 2006.

Regardless of how you choose to play it – be it on a controller or go old school with keyboard and mouse – Neverwinter Nights 2 proves that it’s still one of Obsidian’s best games.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition marks a welcome return for one of the most ambitious and talked-about CRPGs of the 2000s. While it still struggles to shake off some of the original game’s limitations — including problematic camera controls, clunky animations, and a less-than-ideal interface — the work done by Aspyr Media is nonetheless commendable. The remaster delivers improved stability, compatibility with modern systems, a generally smoother experience, and, most importantly, a clear respect for the modding community — a key element behind the enduring love many have for NWN2.
