The sequel to BioWare’s best selling RPG Neverwinter Nights was released earlier this month, and has received decent reviews for continuing the same path as the original. Since the game strictly follows D&D rules, it might not be suitable for beginners. The game is also plagued by several bugs and glitches, something that’s mentioned in every review.

IGN (85/100) “Anyone looking for a lengthy, complex, and engaging single player role playing experience should look no further than Neverwinter Nights 2. Thanks to the inclusion of fully controllable characters, there’s plenty of enjoyable tactical combat to be conducted in the many dungeons the game runs you through.”

GameSpot (86/100) “If you’re willing to look past a few relatively minor technical issues, you’ll have a great time exploring the world of Neverwinter Nights 2. The excellent story, characters, and quests will appeal to your sense of adventure without getting overly convoluted.”

Eurogamer (80/100) “It’s not the future of PC gaming, but a glorious slice of the recent past. This may be the last adventure like this you’ll ever go on. And there’s a certain style and grandeur to anything like that.”

GameSpy (80/100) “Rare is a game with such meaningful and varied character development, and the plethora of options available will guarantee that many players will want to indulge in its experience from the point of view of several different types of characters.”

1UP (60/100) “The future success of Neverwinter Nights 2 will depend, in the short term, on Obsidian and Atari patching the game…and then, as with the first game, on the fan community to provide modules of their own.“
