What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise Neverwinter's engaging combat system and accessibility as a free-to-play MMO with a solid D&D universe setting that can be enjoyed without spending money. However, the game is heavily criticized for its aggressive monetization model with extensive time gates on progression, where players can spend months to complete single campaigns, and numerous systems that push players toward real-money purchases rather than rewarding regular gameplay.

Neverwinter is truly one of the best versions of DND out there. I've played this for years and never get tired of it.

Fast-paced combat makes Neverwinter feel more active than many traditional MMORPGs, while the Dungeons & Dragons setting gives the quests and world plenty of character. There is a huge amount of content to explore, especially if dungeon crawling with friends is your thing.

Quite a good and fun MMORPG which reminds me of Guild Wars, SWOTOR and Star Trek which are all tied together by the game genre. But Neverwinter feels different because of the gameplay and the approach to the game because SWOTOR is mostly carried by the storyline in which you gain most of your loot and the only way to do sperate, multi-classed quest is through the side quests. But Neverwinter has a hint of Story but a much more Open-World, quest. choose your path feel to it. This ties in with Guild Wars in which it was quest heavy and you mostly needed a tutorial on how to start and play/understand the game. I like this game so far and it is a bit grindy but definitely just starts you off with action which I like. I think this is a roleplay game which makes sense because I love the character customization and the bio/ backstory for your character because it just gives you the freedom to choose your characters path, beliefs for clothes customization and bio. I started to play this game because of the Dungeons and Dragons book. (Legend of Drittz Homeland) and is quite good and to no suprise I picked Drow aka Dark Elf. But there are many races and classes to pick. I like this game and …

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
