Critic Reviews for Neverwinter
This is yesterday's MMO by the merits of its own content, but compensates by potentially ushering in a DIY revolution.
Then again, if that's all the freedom you need, then Neverwinter is a free, easy and very, very simple game that you can put as much time into as you like.
An MMO with fast, satisfying combat and a great example of a free-to-play model. Some minor performance problems pop up, but overall it's a very fun gaming experience solo or with others.
'Neverwinter' is the first true MMO to hit Xbox One, and does a good job bringing the adventures and challenges of an MMORPG to the Microsoft console.
There's no denying that Neverwinter is derivative. It's a game of borrowed parts and tweaked ideas that sometimes seems a little behind the times. But each of the game's systems, from combat to crafting, is expertly crafted--simultaneously offering depth, fun, and accessibility. Cryptic has created a finely tuned, smooth game that remembers the lessons its predecessors learned, and in the process bookends a long progeny of MMORPG development.
Neverwinter now offers more classes and zones than ever before, but combat still outshines every other aspect.
Neverwinter's engaging combat and plentiful free content make up for limited customization.
Even with two weeks of play under my belt, I feel like I have probably completed one half of one percent of what the current iteration of Neverwinter has to offer.
