Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition Reviews
Buried deep within Neverwinter Nights' loins remains an entertaining, engrossing and lengthy RPG adventure, bundled with oodles of extra campaigns and one-off adventures. But to enjoy that you're going to have to put up with some of the most stuttery, bug-riddled nonsense we've seen on the Switch. Fun and frustrating in equal measure.
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition on Nintendo Switch suffers too many technical hiccups to be worth getting in its current state despite being chock full of loads of content.
Neverwinter Nights remains a fantastic RPG, but the Enhanced Edition on PlayStation 4 fails to recapture that magic. If you can look past the incredibly dated graphics, there's tons of classic role playing to get stuck into, but playing it with a controller and clunky UI is not particularly pleasant. Considering that this is playable on pretty much any computer you can lay your hands on, or even on your phone, I'd steer clear of this particular version unless you desperately want to sit on your couch with a controller to play.
Though the dated presentation and omission of some multiplayer features undeniably rankle, Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition still manages to acquit itself ably as a landmark RPG that deserves to be absorbed by an entirely new generation of gamers.
A welcome enhancement to a BioWare classic that is worth revisiting if you can see past its aged look, but consoles may not be the best format.
Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition brings a classic game to a more modern look while retaining everything which made the original a classic in the first place. It's worth playing for anyone who hasn't ever played it and a fun trip through memory lane for those of us who have loved it. Unfortunately, the Switch version suffers from not having the touchscreen-enabled for navigating menus and in-game.
This truly requires historical understanding of the limitations of the time it was made, and that many RPG developers were just barely coming to grips with 3D engines. Everyone else would be better off replaying Skyrim.
Back in the 2002, Neverwinter Nights was one of the best picks for MMORPG fans and overall a revolutionary title. Though the lateley released Enhanced Edition almost stays the same as the 2002 version. Graphics, gameplay and even the story are kind of outdated and old, and they fail to attract newcomers. But the online mode is back, so old fans can play their favorite game in 2019 now.

We cannot recommend Neverwinter Edition Enhanced Edition for PlayStation 4 not even at a heavily discounted price.
Will the story and entertaining combat be enough to overcome Neverwinter Nights’ troubling performance issues? Errrm…
Recovers one of the most mythical and acclaimed role-playing games that emerged on PC. Fans of the genre will enjoy it, however the remaster could be better.

Recommended for the sages of the world of Dragons and Dungeons and for those who, without being knowledgeable, want to enter this world. If you start from scratch you might get lost not only in the gameplay, but also in the story and context.

This new versions of the classic Neverwinter Nights does not bring as many innovations as it should, but the amount of content and the unique multiplayer makes it an interesting RPG especially for the newcomers to the series.

While overflowing with content, the console port of Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition suffers from technical issues and poor controls. If you have a group of dedicated friends to adventure with the experience may be worthwhile, but there’s little compelling reason to prefer this version over the cheaper, more feature-rich PC version.
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is a great game marred by a half-done port for Nintendo Switch. More than 100 hours of play weighed down by poor control, glitches, bugs, and lousy performance in a game from 17 years ago.

If you feel like playing a challenging, classic dungeon-delver RPG, or simply relive the nostalgia of the original version, you should this game a try. It definitely does a great job at testing's one's abilities and critical thinking. - Mylène Verreault
No one expected Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition to be a full-fledged remake and it's not even a remaster or a HD version. It's just the original game with some cosmetic changes and its main purpose is to revive the community and online play.
