Once you’re used to it, you can find what you need in the heat of battle That learning curve can take time. You can also pause and queue actions using the touchpad. To give the player quick access to key items, you can enter your inventory and assign them to a radial menu. Beamdog have favoured direct control for movement which works well. For me, I would’ve liked to have seen more polish and more effort made to bring an aged series into modernity.Ĭontrols always seem the biggest challenge when transplanting a mouse and keyboard driven interface to a console. If you favour authenticity in your re-releases then you’ll be covered. Textures and geometry don’t appear to be upgraded hugely but lighting has seen improvements. Once in gameplay, the console edition looks on par with the PC counterpart. Story cut-scenes are windowed, grainy and do very little to disguise their age. It is not exactly an overhaul with original assets seemingly being shown at their native resolutions. Still, it’s a near complete collection that shows the best of what Neverwinter Nights has to offer.Īlmost immediately, you get a sense of what Beamdog have concentrated on for this port. That’s a shame for anyone wanting some randomly generated dungeon crawling. It’s not entirely everything with the Infinite Dragons module being omitted. It amounts a very sizeable sense of value with hours upon hours of content at hand. What Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition gets you is the base campaign along with the several official expansion packs and modules which were released throughout the game’s lengthy lifespan. With Beamdog at the helm, Bioware’s 2002 take on the Dungeons & Dragons license has a chance to shine in front of a new audience. Sometimes these PC efforts can find it hard to transition to a controller and the added obstacle of time itself can make these port sink, rather than swim. Neverwinter Nights is rightly lauded as a classic role-playing game and, until now, it’s never graced home consoles.
