    One of my favorite games ever is still just as great now as it was back in the early 2000’s. 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.

    The game itself on PC is probably a 9 out of 10. 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.

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.… Expand

    An extremely faithful port of the original PC game. To see this on a hand held system is a dream come true for me as I was a huge fan of NWN1 and also 2. Loading times are great and the action does stutter slightly when there are many enemies on the screen trying to roll 20’s on you :) The camera zooms out perfectly so as not to be so cluttered.

All of the original creation for the characters is there along with prestige classes.
    Though I am only 10 hours in it i have played through the entirety of NWN several times and can recommend this for any diehard fan looking for a 3rd ed DND game on a hand held.    … Expand

    Some of the texts are rather difficult to read and at least very unpleasant and straining to the eye because of bad UI scaling at least in handheld mode.

    One of my favorite PC games with so much potential on the Switch but there are several missing features compared to the other ports, and an entire module missing that even the phone version got but the Switch was left out of. The dev team has abandoned updating the game and now you can't even get into the persistent worlds.

    Neverwinter Nights deserves better than this tragically compromised port for the Nintendo Switch. With no supplemental content to help explain the tabletop fundamentals or to describe the immense impact it had when it originally released, players are left with precious few reasons to struggle through a creaky real-time combat engine hampered by countless technical hitches and clunky controls. Even though its tale of plague-ridden devastation is especially haunting with the coronavirus lingering at the forefront of our collective discourse, everything else about this game fares poorly in modern times.

    This compilation has seemingly endless replayability, thanks to it having the potential for user-created content for those who are dedicated enough to figure it out. Even without all of that, the mixed bag of campaigns on offer take over one hundred hours to experience. It is an ugly and frustrating RPG to play; one that is woefully poorly designed, and very rough, with some glimmers of gold speckled throughout the DLC campaigns. Only those who grew up playing Neverwinter Nights, or are die-hard RPG fans will have the resolve to enjoy this package of 2000-era BioWare. 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.
