    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.

    The myth of one of the best PRG of all time doesn't resist time, even when it offers a lot of content and great rpg mechanics. Its visuals feels so old, and its control is not designed for enjoying in a console, whatever it is.

    Enjoying Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition on Nintendo Switch is a bittersweet reality, since we find poor controls, framerate issues, bugs and an interface that can be improved.

    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.

This port is about a 7.9 out of 10. It has a clunky interface that is not tutorialized very well. The menu music is broken when creating your character, and there are performance issues and bugs. With that being said, it is still a pretty good port. Based on my first impressions, you get used to the interface pretty quickly and the game sucks you into a D&D universe. It also comes with a bunch of content. I think it is a solid port, especially when considering it is now portable. I would wait for a price drop, but overall a good port, with continued support and will eventually be patched. Full Review »

A slightly clunky UI is to be expected for a pc to console port but it works and now people get to play an excellent game with some of the very best writing Bioware had to offer. Full Review »

The dev team has abandoned updating the game and now you can't even get into the persistent worlds. Full Review »
