Neverwinter Nights 2: NWN 2 Review at RPGDot: 9/10

RPGDot has posted a review of NWN 2. Scoring the game quite high with 9/10 (including a 10 for 'value'), the reviewer said:

It goes without saying that the original Neverwinter Nights was an outstanding success both with the critics and sales of the game. It is still widely played to this day, and has shown that not only is it a fantastic game, but it has longevity to the extreme too. Neverwinter Nights 2 was naturally going to come out sooner or later, but it sure had a great name to live up to.

When my copy of Neverwinter Nights 2 arrived in the post on release day, patch 1.01 was already live, and it wasn't long until 1.02 was out. This was the patch I played with for most of the game, so I shall review the game based on my experiences in 1.02.

And to sum it all up:

Overall Neverwinter Nights 2 stands up to the great name of the original game, and in this writer's opinion to the world of D&D as a whole. There is a fantastic story and lots of lore for those who enjoy that sort of thing, superb combat, and of course the toolset adds that extra element both in extending your options, and giving you a world of new campaigns to play online and offline. The issues and bugs with the game do let it down quite a bit unfortunately, but from what I have seen the Devs seem to be listening to peoples views and hopefully it will be a far more solid game in a few patches time.
