Being a cynical person, I always cringe when thinking about any MMO that states it will be free-to-play but to be fair, it’s not as bad as I originally thought. Moving on, let’s start by dealing with the elephant in the room which is the free-to-play model the game has adopted. These will all be released over the next few days. We’ll also take a look at Guilds, Skirmishes, Dungeons and much more. The second and third parts of the review will look at some of the more in-depth game play mechanics including the detailed profession and crafting system, the economy including the Auction House and various currencies (excluding Zen) and banking. The first, the one you are reading, will look at the setting, races, classes and in-game currency model.

Based in the fictional Forgotten Realms city of Neverwinter, Neverwinter is a standalone game and not part of the previous PC series Neverwinter Nights.īeing what I would call a typical MMORPG, there is an awful lot to cover in a review so I’ll be breaking our review down into three parts. Developed by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World, it was released back in June 2013 for Windows PC and March 31 st this year for Xbox One. If you’ve never heard of this, think World of Warcraft or Guild Wars. Neverwinter is a Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) free-to-play MMORPG or massively multiplayer online role-playing game for those unfamiliar with the term. Finally the time has come for the heroes of Neverwinter to rise up on Xbox One.
