    Amazing port of a PC MMO to console. Why more games aren't doing this is beyond me. Give me the comfort of the couch and a controller over a desk and keyboard/mouse combo any day. Great game and have played this exclusively for the last several months.

    Good - Nicely atmospheric game world that captures the essence of D&D. The character creator is pretty good by MMO standards. Decent voice acting and cleverly only added in for important dialogue. I also like both the crafting system and the Companion system. It is also a game that is very much soloable which suits me as I have zero interest in pvp and very little in actually grouping with other people. But here, thankfully, the majority of things can be achieved with a trusty npc Companion.

    Comparing it to the soulless, hugely disappointing mess that is ESO, I much prefer this game. A lot of that is due to having no expectations of this game previously, but it just feels better. And although it is very much a typical MMO in every way, it doesn't feel like such a contrived, boring excuse for one that ESO is.

    Bad - By far the worst thing about the game is the camera angle, which strangely cannot be changed. Frustrating as it is far too distant from the character. The combat is very weightless, as are the physics in general, something every MMO I have ever played is guilty of. Why someone doesn't make an MMO combat system that has weight, like Dark Souls, I will never understand. Floating about with your heavy plate have no physics or sound at all seems to be the done thing with MMO's. A minor issue is that the Companion customisation is limited, only letting you name the character and choose from 3 or 4 outfits as the Companion levels. It seems fairly obvious that we should have been allowed to fully create companions, as in Pillars of Eternity.

    There is nothing new here at all, it's standard MMO stuff and that's what makes it average but you can get some hours out of it if you are in between or bored of superior games.

    Overall - Not a great game but quite addictive and %100 worth picking up for free. Nice to play an enjoyable, albeit predictable MMO after the awful ESO, which sits probably just behind GTAV as the most disappointing game of all time. Give it a try. 6/10.    … Expand

    I'm having the best time i've ever had starting a MMORPG. The game seems to open up more around level 30, and i'm really exited where it's gonna take me next. I find it really hard to put down the controller. My fighter feels fun to control, the world is beautiful, loot is exiting and very varied, quest and background stories are fun, and there's just a ton of systems to explore and upgrade. And apparantly i've not even touched 1% of the game if i take a look at the menu with Campaigns and all the kinds of progress you can make. I would encourage everybody to try this game. I have not played a MMORPG before that made me say that. I loved UO, but wouldn't recommend it now. I liked SWTOR for 100 hours, but would never recommend it. I didn't feel like playing Guild Wars 2 after 2 days. But i'm losing sleep over Neverwinter. 10 out of 10 for the early game experience (the first 100 hours up till now).    … Expand

    This is a F2P game, so I'm rating it accordingly. I'm not going to subtract points because they are trying to make money on the game. If you don't like the model, just play a game with a model you do like. However, if you understand what F2P is like, this game is quite a delight on the PS4.

    THE GOOD: 1) Far and away what hooked me was the smooth control scheme for the controller.    This is a F2P game, so I'm rating it accordingly.

However, if you understand what F2P is like, this game is quite a delight on the PS4.

    THE GOOD:

    1) Far and away what hooked me was the smooth control scheme for the controller. Unlike the FFXIV layout which was functional but not as good as keyboard and mouse, this is the first MMMORPG I've played on both PC and console that I prefer combat with a controller. It's intuitive and responsive (for an MMORPG that understandably lags in areas with high populations)

    2) End Game is very casual for those that want it. you just need 1 - 2 friends to keep progressing. There is TONS of content. Some people say this means it's a grind. But to me, it means there is more to do. I prefer there to be more to do that I haven't done instead of simply repeating old things. I know some folks want to get to the top of the mountain, but in Neverwinter, that is going to take far longer than you could possibly imagine. So for me, this casual, long end-game that keeps getting updated means hours of fun in a familiar D&D world with voice-acted NPCs and stories written by people like R.A. Salvatore. I'm in!

    3) Dungeons & Dragons Nostalgia. I've played lots of MMORPGs, but playing one set in the D&D franchise brings to memory so many games from the past that if you played these games, you'll enjoy this as much as I do!

    THE BAD

    1) The fact this is F2P will be in your face the whole time. I recommend playing for a bit, if you like it, decide you are going to pay them for their work and decide where to spend your money. Those pay walls are there, but they aren't hard and fast. First: There is an exchange so you can swap currency you earn in-game for ZEN to purchase from the cash shop. Second, there are great guides online for completely free players to compete at the highest level in PVE and PVP, so if what you got is time and not money, then you can do it all here.

    2) Bugs! Yep too many games have them. I get kicked from the server roughly once every 4 hours. This is too much. I hope it gets fixed! There are other bugs where you can get stuck and have to log in as a second character to fix this. It's annoying and time consuming, but nothing game breaking.

    3) I may be wrong, but I don't think there is any 8-16 person PvE content. I am glad it's not dominated by this, but I would like a few reasons to work together as a big organized group. So even if it is in the game, at level 66 I've still not seen it or heard of it. So definitely under-represented. I've not run a heroic dungeon yet, which I know are tough, but I believe those are just 3 - 5 man dungeons.

    VERDICT: I have to give this game a strong score because it's truly fun to play. You should be able to tell if the things people say are bad about it will get to you or not. My opinion is that if they do not bother you, you'll find a lot to love about combat with a PS4 controller in this, the only true D&D MMORPG available on the platform, F2P or not.

    Lastly, I'm playing with several disenchanted ESO players who are finding a lot to like in comparison. I didn't play ESO, but if it rubbed you the wrong way, Neverwinter on PS4 might be just the ticket!    … Expand

    This game starts slow and clunky where enemies just stand and allow you to hit them with no reaction. I nearly erased this game from my ps4 hard drive but I'm glad I gave it a fair chance. It starts to get better and better and it rewards you constantly like in Diablo 3. You get a constant satisfaction that you are making progress with the levelling up and getting good gear.

    It's not as good as say the Witcher 3 but way better than World Of Warcraft where the missions are so boring and monotonous. They have actually made a effort with stories and boss fights and your abilities. I would say don't judge this game by the first hour or two but give it a fair chance and you will be surprised in how it opens up. And hey, it's all free with not a penny spent.    … Expand

    Best mmorp on console full stop. Yes there are a few issues but it has just come out on console. For a free to play game with add on purchases, this is a must play. There is a ton of content and the quests are more interesting than in eso. The pve and pvp are a ton of fun and the community in the game (which is huge) is very friendly. If you are putting this game down, you are an absolute moron

    Everything is broken. Lagg is horrible, group que is broken, all the endgame epic dungeons are broken. Avoid like the plague until fixed. It just isn't worth your time. They are adding new content that probably won't work while the content they do have still doesn't work. Incompetent devs IMO.

By the way avoid word like "peanut gallery" because the flippin forum mods, will jump all over you. Oh that's not the worse part either, they will also "edit" aka censor your posts and re- post the "edited" version. They will twist your words and accuse you of spamming and trolling. And what truly disgusts me, is that the mods themselves. Will turn around and do the same. But you can't report them, because they're "UN touchable" because they are mods and UN publishable. And on top of that they will make it know to the entire forum , that you were issued a warning. For whatever , infraction your guilty of. This is clearly and abuse of power. And there is nothing you can do about it. So my advice is this, avoid those "forums" like the plague. And you will, thank me for that;) P.S. they get a REAL power trip out it, plus most of them are " payed" volunteers.… Expand

Its dishonest. Subscribing grants you keys to loot boxes which grant you good gear and currency. The game was reportedly dying in 2019, and there were videos in 2020 showing nobody at main areas.

The item, pet and mount stats are all incorrect on the official wiki and any other website. This is a big deal and you’ll spend a day working toward something that’s useless, more than once.

    The existing player base is helpful but not that sympathetic to how brutal the new player experience is right now. Everyone’s just doing their own thing and expecting you to have 6 months grind under your belt.

    There are 20 content modules to optionally work your way back through but there’s zero actual incentive to do this and end game is a confusing mish mash of the last 12 months of content.

    End game is playing for an item with a 1% drop rate (no exaggeration).

    The PS4 version is very buggy and I’m regularly DC as I enter raids, glitching etc.

    The game is heavily pay to win. You can pay your way to a 50% boost over freemium players. $12/month vip gets you next to nothing and players will happily spend $100 on one item and $1000s on one character. The diff between a freemium player and unbudgeted p2w player is night and day. On top of this the devs might nerf your cash investment any second.

    The PS4 is light on mmos so I’ll probably keep playing but I would not suggest this game to anybody.    … Expand

The average dungeon can be completed in like 20 minutes. While there is a vast community, I haven't come across the socializing that I have in other MMORPGs. You'd be wise to join a guild sooner than later that way if you have any questions, veterans of the game can give you help through it.

    All in all, its not a bad game. There is plenty to do here. While it won't stack up against the likes of GW, WoW, FFXIV, or Everquest, for the newbie trying MMORPGs or for people who are simply looking for a free-to-play MMORPG it will more than suffice.    … Expand

But, if you're a cheapskate like me, you'll lament at your far-lower-than-average item level (which seems to be more important than your actual character level) as you struggle in some boss battles, and pine for the ability to open some chests you collect with enchanted keys which are acquirable only with real dough.

    The game can become a bit of a grind after you see the pattern to the missions in all the areas you visit (go kill a few of these kinds of enemies, then these kinds, then those kinds, raid a dungeon, find a few of these things, then go kill the boss of the area). Still, it's a good dungeon hacker along the lines of Diablo 3 with a similar "choose which button does which attack" system. I'd give it a 6 or 7, but, as I said before, it's hard to argue with "Free" and get the hours of entertainment and nostalgia.    … Expand

    An unfortunately boring experience that did precious little to hold my attention. While some of the action-oriented combat elements possess small flashes of inspiration, there is unfortunately not enough here to differentiate it from games with much more exciting combat mechanics.

    Featuring mostly dated MMO standards, aesthetics that have not changed much since release and a seeming lack of any effort to make me want to play more, Neverwinter did little to pull me in, despite my high hopes. I am saddened by how little enjoyment I got out of it.    … Expand

    I adore the game for its atmosphere, but the graphics, gameplay and story are bad to mediocre. But as it is F2P, you should give it a shot.

    For a frree-2-play game it's actually interesting. Many build variations, lots of different maps, tho the quests are repetitive. It's worth checking out to pass some time.

    Star trek online made me love mmo's, Neverwinter made me hate them forever. Same team, same looks, extremely different games. Still can't explain it, unless CBS is keeping stupid on a very short leash. TO SIMPLY SUM IT UP, STUFF YOU FARM FOR MONTHS OR BUY IS RANDOMLY REMOVED EACH MAJOR UPDATE. Worst game ever, worse than mobile games, hardly even a game, just some looks over a barelyStar trek online made me love mmo's, Neverwinter made me hate them forever.

TO SIMPLY SUM IT UP, STUFF YOU FARM FOR MONTHS OR BUY IS RANDOMLY REMOVED EACH MAJOR UPDATE. Worst game ever, worse than mobile games, hardly even a game, just some looks over a barely pretending scam. Basically built to pressure new players into dropping some $$$ then push them out to make place for new unsuspecting patsies. Doesn't even work, the game is deserted, but they keep it up. Avoid at all costs.… Expand

    On its own, Neverwinter is a very solid and very enjoyable MMO — with its free price point, there's no reason that you shouldn't be giving it a chance.

    It’s extremely mindless grinding, which can be fun now and again when you’re feeling non-committal. And from what I’ve learned of the endgame offerings, when you’re fully leveled, you can just experience much of the same. I’m not sure how long someone would want to experience more of the same, and I don’t feel like anything I’ve played warrants going through it all again with another character. It’s just not all that compelling, but if you have friends you’d like to quest with, it’s certainly something to do… like many other things.

    Slightly watered down version from PC, but still a good game to enjoy both with friends or alone.
