Central to its pull is a storyline as persuasive as any I've encountered in a fantasy roleplaying game. [Sept 2002, p.60]

The game is addictive and considerably lengthy; a RPG fan's dream.
If you've never played the Baldur's Gate series, Planescape: Torment, or Icewind Dale, it's a fine single player game with the possibility of some very engaging multiplayer action.
Offers more multiplayer options than you’ll likely ever use combined with a single-player experience that’s wonderful but somewhat typical. Still, it’s the best PC D&D game ever, bar none.
Neverwinter Nights isn't perfect. But I nevertheless had a great time on this journey and it's kept me well and truly entertained for the past few weeks.
The single player campaign is, if anything, too long, and focuses more on continuous combat than actual role-playing. The lack of any support for parties in the single player mode is also disappointing, and makes the game far less involving than it should be.
Neverwinter Nights was a mixed bag. The game had a very solid rule system and character development based on Dungeons and Dragons. This was great. It also comes with the toolkit that allows players to make their own adventures. This was amazing but is history now as the servers were permanently closed this year. Sad but inevitable in a quickly evolving industry. However the engine itself is not that great. Visually it is bland and I doubt anyone can seriously claim that it is better than what was already established with the Infinity Engine and Baldur's Gate. However sad to say the actual adventure of Neverwinter Nights is pretty bloody dull! It takes forever to level your character, to explore the city and make sense of the plot lines. The final result is kind of a long winded mediocrity. As an old **** for Dungeons and Dragons I actually enjoyed it a lot in the day, but doubt that this could be considered appealing now to any but the most hard core RPGers. The GOG platinum version (when on sale) is the best buy!

Ultimately a fun dnd romp with a lot of build freedom and interesting stories to engage in. Held back by formulaic dungeon design, forgettable characters and main story, and dreary art style and stone. Blueprint for bioware games to come. I hear the real strength is the custom content but I never engaged with it so can't consider it.

This hasn't aged well. The 3D graphics are really dated. The gameplay mechanics are really bad. I spent a lot of the in-game time bashing open chests and containers. You basically obtain all the equipment you need for your character in the first chapter. After that, loot is pretty much worthless. The in-game economy is completely unbalanced. I acquired a dragon's hoard of hundreds of thousands of gold coins by the third chapter. Most fights are completely trivial. The story is OK, but it's slow going. I gave up before the end of the 3rd chapter. I know this game is supposed to be huge, but there are so many better games out there.
